The CD-8 Fishing Expedition… »
Did CD-8 just swallow the bait – hook, line and sinker? Much has been said on social media, local blogs and the like over the last day or so on an “Anti-Payday-Paton” mailer, mailed out by none other than the Arizona Democratic Party. The Paton camp is using this as proof that of all the [...]
Social Security, Catfood, and Mud »
Anyone paying attention to Reps. Gifford’s and Grijalva’s campaign rhetoric as of late has witnessed their fear-mongering to the 55 and over set using Rep. Paul Ryan’s road map for Social Security as campaign fodder against Paton and Kelly in CD – 8, and for Grijalva…. well, to be quite honest, to argue with President [...]
Boycott Grijalva »
I was going to spend my afternoon coming up with some pithy commentary on Grijalva’s asinine statement to boycott Arizona over SB 1070. But then I saw this video, I’ll let it do the talking: Boycott Grijalva I just have two things to ask: 1. With all the ruckus being raised between Grijalva and [...]
Something’s Rotten In Denmark »
Not much ado about nothing and no extra credit for iambic pentameter but we were just “Lear”-ing over this report and, well, it’s not “As You’d Like It”. CBS followed up on their earlier story on the size of the delegation and the cost of the trip with the specific travel expenses. Does it take [...]
Climate Change Can’t Wait! »
The Copenhagen climate change summit quickly turned into a punch line. Between Al Gore’s poetry, the private jets and limos exposing the hypocrisy of telling the rest of us to conserve, and the questionable practices exposed in the global warming scientific community, the whole event was quickly exposed as a joke. The grand finale was watching the global warming [...]
Nighttime is the right time »
“Nighttime. Sometimes politicians think it’s the right time to do the wrong things.” –Gabrielle Giffords, 2006 That, of course, was from Giffords’ 2006 “Blocked” ad where she portrayed state legislators via “night vision” effect as sneaking into the capitol for a dastardly midnight vote while she turned on a light in her office and talked about how [...]
Giffords’ Office Name Calling »
I’ve changed this post as I don’t want to be accused of fanning any flames. So I’ll be very clear: People who oppose the proposed health care reform have been subjected to name calling from the Congresswoman’s office, supporters, and the media. They’ve been labled as “extremeists”, “mobs” and painted as a bunch of far right [...]
Giffords’ Global Warming Heartburn »
The Climate Change Bill, HR 2454, supported by Rep. Giffords on Friday with a “Yes” vote appears to be generating serious discomfort for some Democrats. And not because House Minority Leader, Rep. John Boehner colorfully likened this bill to manure. An apparent defender of Giffords made extensive comments on yesterday’s post on this blog tried [...]
Change Can’t Wait…For Your Checkbook »
Representative Gabrielle Giffords just voted for you to give an additional $175 to the federal government. Yesterday, while you were on your way home from work for the weekend, Ms. Giffords voted “Aye” on HR 2454, the “American Clean Energy and Security Act.” The title of the legislation states it is “To create clean energy [...]
