I was corrected by a legislator today when I ribbed him today about the day off he and his colleagues had been given today. I said that they were a bunch of bums. He corrected me and said that they were, in fact, slackers.
They aren’t all taking the day off. Republican leaders are stuck up there […]
Tim Bee is having a fundraiser with new BFF Grover Norquist.
Yep, that Grover Norquist.
For some odd reason, he’s having it up in Phoenix. That’s right, outside of his district. I figure, if this guy is so wonderful, shouldn’t he bring him down here so we all can meet him?
Well, maybe he doesn’t want us to. […]
Well, it looks like Tim Bee is able to raise money after all. Good for him, I suppose. Although, as a well known Gabrielle Giffords Yes Man, I’d like to point out that Giffords raised slightly more money than Bee, and still has far more cash on hand than Bee. She’s beating him by more […]
Yeah, Tim Bee was hoping everyone forgot about that ad. Well, now he has an FEC complaint about the ad hanging over his head.
Attacks on Bee a few months back over his not resigning his office while “exploring” a congressional run had no legal result, but seemed to make him dial back on campaign activities. Even if […]
Poking around yesterday, I found out that the Tim Bee ad that I wrote about the other day was paid for by an organization called the Education Finance Reform Group. As Daniel Scarpinato reported in this morning’s Star, this organization is funded by several local school districts to lobby the legislature.
So, why on earth is school district money […]
Okay, check out this ad running now for Tim Bee. You tell me what is missing:
Yep, no disclaimer to tell us who is paying for the darned thing.
I can already see the arguments from the Bee camp:
“Oh, it isn’t a campaign ad. Citizens are just saying, ‘Thank you’ to Tim Bee for supporting education.”
Yeah, right. […]
The first quarter is over, so this is the time that the various campaigns spin how wonderful or gawdawful their fundraising was in anticipation of the official numbers that will come out in a few weeks.
According to R-Cubed’s crack research team (yes, they are on crack), the only one to have filed their official report already […]
I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]
Just as I thought I’d have nothing but the presidential race to write about, our friends at the State Republican Party have decided to help me out by sending out a poorly thought out press release attacking Gabrielle Giffords on, of all issues, domestic violence.
It doesn’t start out as an attack. If you were just […]
I recieved an e-mail from someone asking me about the group Defense of Democracies that is running ads telling us Baja Arizonenses to call Gabrielle Giffords and give her a what for because of the House’s lack of action on the Terrorist Surveillance legislation. Heck, I called her to tell her to keep up the […]
