More Fun From the Wilds of Table City
Anne Denogean had a write up of the current unpleasantness up in Mesa where an independent expenditure committee is taking on Russell Pearce. One of the Citizen posters (who are always insightful and brilliant), JAMES W. (capital letters because the truth needs to be prominent), revealed this stunning allegation:
This has the stink of actions by that corrupt, backward country south of the border.
Another ACT OF WAR for which the US should retaliate with full military force.
Wow. That is heavy.
This charge is so explosive that I had to contact Nathan Sproul, the Republican aparatchik behind the effort to defeat Pearce, and ask him, exactly how much money is he getting from the Mexican government?
He denied that he is getting any money from the Mexican government. Of course if he’s under the pay of a foreign government, he would, wouldn’t he?
-sigh-
A second mailer went out late last week highlighting Pearce’s connections to neo-Nazis. The Republic has run an editorial defending Pearce and condemning Sproul and company for forcing them to do so. So, in other words, Pearce has been allowed free reign to push his hateful and retrograde agenda on the state, but the moment someone calls him on it, the problem is with the people pointing it out and the problem is not with Pearce. Ridiculous.
I’m glad that someone is finally calling Pearce on what he has been up to. However, the question also has to be asked why folks in the political establishment have given Pearce the room, and yes the power, to do what he has been doing over the last few years.

That’s the question I want to see them answer too. Of course, we already know why they have. I’m reminded of the series of emails between Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon where they described conservative voters as “wackos”, as they strategized how they were going to bring them to the polls in droves to vote the way they wanted. Pearce is a wacko too, and has become inconvenient to the GOP elite. I don’t anticipate their efforts to unseat him will succeed. Too little, too late and no one believes Nathan Sproul for a minute when he claims his efforts are about “changing the direction of the party”.

I am preparing an ad against my fellow Republican Russell Pearce alleging that I have seen him grab the U.S. Constitution by the throat and throw it down.
