In case you are worried that Republicans will stop complaining about the horrible crime against Ben Quayle, this is from an e-mail, entitled “Fairness,” that Pima County Chair Carolyn Cox sent yesterday: I’ve learned many words in the English language have more than one definition in a democrat dictionary. For example, from the AZ Redistricting [...]
Brian Miller always used to sign off his epistles to local Republican activists (the weekly “e-Tracks”) with the words “For Freedom.” His hastily installed replacement, Mike Shaw, signed his first communiqué “Conservatism Works.” Which makes me ask: why does Mike Shaw hate Freedom so much?
Gila Courier is reporting Brian Miller has been ousted as Pima County Republican Chairman. The vote was 181 – 43.
There has been trouble brewing on Fifth Street. Apparently, Brian Miller’s jihad against Clarence Dupnik isn’t universally supported by people in his party. That, and they aren’t happy with how money is being spent either. The mahouts held a meeting of the Republican executive committee last night. They didn’t ditch Miller, but they neutered him [...]
Well, that’s all over, which means I may have to find something of actual gravity to talk about. It all feels so…empty. The silence is getting too loud… But hey, there are still ways for our not-quite candidates to make the news. After all, the day he got tossed, Marshall Home made the Republic for [...]
This week, the local Democratic Party, who apparently didn’t get the memo that writing in a mocking tone is my department, sent out a press release bragging that not only has the entire Democratic slate filed (unless you count the unendorsed Joe Flores and whackjob Marshall Home), but that no Republican has. Local Republican flack [...]

I’ve been having some fun with the continued hand-wringing from local Republicans about Tucson’s plans to make our elections a nearly entirely vote by mail affair (given how many of us already vote by mail, it won’t be a change for most Tucson voters). Local Republican pooh-bah Brian Miller tried to connect this with voter [...]

Any of you remember how establishing an Independent Redistricting Commission was supposed to remove political posturing and gamesmanship from the redistricting process? -RRR- Russell Pearce has gotten some ink from alleging some shenanigans in the process to whittle down nominees to the Independent Redistricting Committee. Whatever his allegations, it must be remembered that the committee [...]
In response to my post yesterday on Karin Uhlich and how many signatures she turned in, Walt Stephenson said: Any ACORN or paid “volunteers” as I’ve been told? -sigh- Yes, we bring up ACORN again. Because bringing up ACORN gets so many votes for Republican candidates…by that I really mean it generates so much traffic [...]
