One More Detail About the…Um…Staff Changes At the Republican Party

Today was the day that everyone decided to write to me about the story printed in the Republic this morning that, apparently, the state Republican party will have no paid employees after next week.  Yes, I knew this. I was first tipped of to this on Monday when someone named Mike posted it to this [...]

Chairman Folies: the Republicans

The Republicans are gearing up for a fight for State Chairman. They lost two US House seats and more legislative seats than any observer would have expected even a few months ago. At least judging from the blogs, I don’t hear as much grousing about the governor’s race as I do about the legislative and [...]

Once Again, Memo to All of My Liberal Friends: John McCain Is Not Our Friend

I recieved an e-mail from a reader (you never can really trust them readers, can you?) who was miffed that John McCain is now featured in ads endorsing proposition 107.
It really shouldn’t be suprising. The thing that suprises me is the blinders that so many of us have regarding just how conservative McCain is and [...]

This Is Me Chanelling Conservative Bloggers

The liberals are on the run! They know that the vast majority of Arizonans, despite mounds of evidence to the contrary (all polls that show people don’t share my views are obviously deeply flawed), don’t agree with their radical leftist vision for Arizona!
The DCCC is spending not one dime on the races of Raúl Grijalva [...]

Chamber of Commerce Endorses…and I Am Confused

The Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce has released its list of candidate endorsements. I’m a bit confused.
They endorsed Janet Napolitano, which is nice, but then they endorsed legislative candidates Gail Griffin, Dave Jorgenson and Al Melvin, whose raison d’etre, if their campaigns are to be believed, is to mess with Napolitano. The only thing I [...]

Skepticism

The Mallard has sent out an e-mail touting a new poll that shows him only six points behind Raúl Grijalva. I have a couple of reasons to be skeptical, or at the very least a couple of reasons to wait to see what this poll says. And yes, my reasons are better than “Raúl is [...]

They Will Never Learn, Eh?

Some of you may remember that us smart alecky liberal bloggers had a great deal of fun at the expense of el Don de las Aguas Doradas for his lack of supporters on his “supporters” page. Eventually, there was a list there. And some of them were not even named Goldwater.
Well, now it seems that [...]

Oh, Those Grijalva Haters Are So Brave!

A new website just went up in the last day or so called Shame on Grijalva. The site has a logo that contains a Mexican flag and Osama bin Ladin, because, you know, Raúl Grijalva is not only of Mexican descent, but is also a radical fundamentalist Sunni Muslim.
The site makes various allegations, such as [...]

He’s Not Racist, Just an Accused Child Molester and a Paranoid Egomaniac

Today’s Tucson Weekly has an article on Chris Simcox, leader of the so-called “Minuteman” militia movement. It is worth a read, and if you have time, it is also worth reading the longer report on Simcox’s past that has been published by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The report raises a number of questions about Simcox’s [...]

Bennett for Governor?

The Republican chattering mobs are making a bit more noise lately about Sen. Ken Bennett running for governor next year. He can’t officially announce due to our state’s “Resign to Run” law, but they certainly are talking him up.
According to Espresso Pundit, leading Republicans are saying that “Goldwater’s campaign is going nowhere…Bennett is looking good.”
Going [...]
