Jesse Kelly put out a press release yesterday touting Trent Franks’s prediction that Kelly would defeat Gabrielle Giffords.
So, let me get this straight: an out of town congressman appears in town for a fundraiser for Kelly, a congressman whose politics are way out of whack with the district and whose visits to the region could [...]
I received a press release from Jesse Kelly’s campaign announcing that he is bringing Trent Franks to town to campaign for him.
Franks is fairly low profile and his few media splashes have been for some rather out-there positions and statements (will he call Gabrielle Giffords an “enemy of humanity”?). Kelly’s campaign seems to think that [...]
Several Republican members, including our own Trent Franks, skipped out on a House Judiciary Committee meeting yesterday to attend the “Superbowl of Freedom!” This meant that several Republican amendments to strengthen the PATRIOT act failed. TPM has the details.
Heck, I was not all that enthused about these amendments anyway, but these same guys have been [...]
There was a lot made of Trent Franks calling Barack Obama an “enemy of humanity” in the liberal blogosphere. But, that doesn’t worry me nearly as much as both of our Senators saber rattling and calling for “regime change” in Iran (here and here).
Hey, I don’t like the folks that run Iran either, but we [...]
Remember when I gave Trent Franks some props for not buying into this birther nonsense? I take it all back. Here is Franks quoted in Politico:
Taking the birther thing to a new level, archconservative Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is considering filing a lawsuit to put President Obama on the spot over his birth documents, according [...]
A video has been making the rounds on these here internets by Mike Stark of the Huffington Post. Stark plays ambush journalist to a few Republican congressman asking them the question: Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States. The only one that doesn’t come up with a weasely answer is our [...]
I went over the roll call vote on the bill to impose a 90% tax on bonuses employees of companies taking stimulus money. It goes without saying that this was in reaction to the huge bonuses being given to the employees of AIG Financial Products, who, if anything, should be giving back their bonuses, business [...]
I’m sure you’ve all heard it: the Democrats want to build one of them magnetic levitation trains from Hollyweird up to a Las Vegas brothel. Specifics change: could be a brothel, could be a casino. It might be Hollywood, it might be Disneyland. But it has those elements that you need to rile up your [...]
The National Journal has released their 2008 Vote Ratings. The results are really no surprise, but after the jump are the ratings for the Arizona delegation, broken up by “issue categories”. I’ll post the Senate ratings later.
Barack Obama will be having a Super Bowl party at the White House tomorrow where the invitees are ten members of congress. Among them, our own Raúl Grijalva and Trent Franks.
Franks is likely invited because he “represents” the Cardinals since his district includes Glendale. Who knows, maybe an encounter with Obama will change his ways. [...]
