Former Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) has a new TV ad in his Republican primary challenge against Sen. John McCain. The ad continues Hayworth’s attacks against McCain over illegal immigration — and interestingly enough, the Tea Partying Hayworth also blasts McCain for voting against a social welfare entitlement program, the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.

“McCain wrote the amnesty bill; opposed the border fence; voted against border security funding,” the announcer says. “And, McCain voted against the Medicare prescription drug program for seniors, but allowed illegal aliens to get Social Security and Medicare — even if they committed fraud.”

The TPM Poll Average gives McCain a lead of 53.6%-32.1%. The Republican primary will be held on August 24.
