BREAKING: Tom Morrissey to run for Pinal Sheriff 2012
by Dee Dee Garcia Blase on Dec. 13, 2011, under 2012 Presidential elections, Hispanic Latino Vote, Mike Stauffer for Sheriff to Replace Joe Arpaio, nativist tea party extremist republicans, Shane Wikfors Sonoran Alliance extremist Republican websiteI just heard news that Tom Morrissey will be running for Sheriff of Pinal County during 2012 from a reliable source.
For those of you who don’t know a lot about Tom Morrissey, he is currently the AZ GOP Chairman and he is a Sheriff Joe Arpaio clone. In fact, former State Senator Russell Pearce and Sheriff Joe Arpaio vouced for Tom Morrissey when Tom was aiming for the Arizona Republican Chairmanship. Thank heavens Pearce is no longer serving in the Arizona state legislature due to his anti-immigrant drivel. We were very happy to see moderate Republican Jerry Lewis defeat him this year.
AZ GOP Chairman Tom Morrissey helped run the Arizona Republican Party into the ground in much the same way Randy Pullen did.
Read about his AZ GOP history here.
BOMBSHELL: Insolvent AZGOP gives 20% of cash-on-hand to Rob Haney’s pro- Russell Pearce IE group, Constantin Querard is beneficiary!
How would you spend your family’s emergency fund if you were more than $100,000 in debt with a pitiful income and no end in sight?Would you:
A. Work with your creditors to pay down debts?
B. Cut all frills and use cash for food, utilities & shelter only?
C. Go to Mesa and drop 20% of the family jewels into
Russell Pearce’sConstantin Querard’s pocket?If you are Tom Morrissey, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, you have to go with answer “C”.
The mandatory pre-recall finance report filed by Rob Haney’s independent expenditure group, MaricopaGOP to elect Russell Pearce, lists only one contribution from a political committee – a $6,000 gift from the Arizona Republican Party on October 14, 2011.This is the same AZGOP that is $100,000+ in debt, showed only $33,000 cash-on-hand in its October FEC finance report and only $4,000 cash-on-hand in its latest financial disclosure to the Arizona Secretary of State.
Chairman Morrissey’s donation amounts to nearly 20% of available federal cash or 150% of available state cash. An arrogant and egregious move, Mr. Morrissey. Have you no shame or brain?
Considering that the AZGOP spends so much money on fundraising yet makes so little back in donations, this $6,000 is a slap in the face to all the small dollar, naïve donors who sent in a check to Morrissey for $10, $25 or $50.
Here are some predictions that I have:
1. Sheriff Paul Babeau will run for Congress and get slaughtered once Republicans find out about his personal life.
2. Sheriff Joe Arapio “might” step down as Sheriff to endorse his bosom buddy former State Senator Russell Pearce for sheriff since Pearce is out of a job due to the Special Elections of 2011.
3. President Obama and the Democratic Party will continue to nail out thousands and thousands of new eligible Latino voters due to the extremism that seems to never want to stop. Having the likes of Tom Morrissey with his AZ GOP history and anti-immigrant piffle will help the Obama administration to motivate Hispanics to the polls in 2012. Latinos typically vote better during Presidential elections and with the rise of eligible Latino voters, it is quite doable for the State of Arizona to easily turn blue. Remember: Approximately 1/3 of Arizona voters are Republicans, another 1/3 are Independent, and the other 1/3 are Democratic voters — so in essence, the state is already turning purple.
Eventually everything will cleanse itself here in Arizona, and I look forward to that.
