Failed Partisanship in CD 9: Mothers called leeches to Burnin Vernon (Parker) liking ‘screw the skinny b*tches’ page

Thursday, October 18th, 2012

Things are getting down right ugly here in Arizona with the deep partisanship of the two major party system between Republicans and Democrats — and this is precisely why I am an Arizona independent voter for life.

I want to demonstrate to my reader how the 2 major party system has failed American voters, and if you really want to punish the 2 major party system here in Arizona — I recommend you vote YES to an Open Arizona Primary via Prop 121.

For example, in Congressional District 9, we have seen the ugly partisanship nature of Republican Candidate  Vernon Parker attack the Democratic Candidate Kyrsten Sinema for referring to mothers as leeches.

Burnin’ Vernon states on his facebook page:

“FACT CHECK: Sinema Lies About Breast Feeding Moms Legislation; Taking Credit for Jonathan Paton’s Bill

Phoenix, AZ – Today the Vernon Parker campaign called on Kyrsten Sinema to immediately pull her blatantly false television ad claiming she sponsored legislation to protect breast feeding moms.Sinema’s Claim: “It was Sinema’s legislation that protected breastfeeding mothers like us from indecent exposure laws”FACT: HB 2376 was introduced by Jonathon Paton and Tim Bee. To see the actual bill click the link:

“Shame on Kyrsten Sinema for taking credit for someone else’s work. She should immediately apologize for lying about her record and apologize for calling stay at home moms leeches. Then she should take down this deceptive television commercial and finally come clean about her record,” said Alyssa Pivirotto, Parker Communications Director.”

On the other hand, a Libertarian-Republican friend of mine sent me this photo today below where it shows Burnin Vernon liking a fan page titled:

“Screw the skinny bitches:  A break up cookbook manual”

So how is a woman to vote in Congressional District 9 this year?  The options given to them in my view are horrendous.  It will amount to two things for the lady voters this year: Whether or not a woman finds it more offensive to be called a “leech” or finding it more offensive that politicians only like to “screw the skinny bitches” if these women voters are overweight.

I really don’t care who wins this race, but as a Latina … I am still disgusted with Burnin’ Vernon parading the border with Sheriff Joe Arpaio back in 2010…and in fact, one day before the Republican primary of 2012, my Libertarian friends told me they received robocalls from Arpaio supporting  Burnin’ Vernon Parker and shedding him in a good light.  My disdain runs deep against Arpaio since he sent a letter to his fans where he called me a liberal in 2010 — however, liberals are falsely calling me a far right winger and an Arpaio supporter despite my strong anti-Arpaio record.  The fringe groups have gone off the deep end — leaving the reasonable 80% that afraid to speak up in fear of being attacked by extremists on both sides of the aisle.

Long live the Independent Revolution, and may we be on the brink of another healthy American Revolution that will take power from both sides of the aisle.

Andrei Cherny getting respected Latino leader support for Congressional District 9

Monday, June 4th, 2012

Latinos in Arizona are fed up with politicians who use what is near and dear to our hearts as a political football.  This is why respectable Latino leaders in the Phoenix area are endorsing Andrei Cherny for Congressional District 9 in Arizona.

From the Andrei for Arizona website:

Nowakowski Endorses Cherny for Congress

May 2, 2012

PHOENIX – Phoenix City Councilman Michael Nowakowski endorsed former Clinton White House official Andrei Cherny for Congress today, explaining that he is the best person to fight for Hispanic and middle-class families.

“Andrei Cherny grew up the son of immigrants who didn’t speak much English, and he understands what it’s like for parents to work two jobs to make ends meet,” said Nowakowski.  “I know Andrei will continue to do great things for working families because he shares our values – and he’ll fight for us in Congress.”

In addition to serving on the Phoenix City Council, Nowakowski is the vice president of communications for Radio Campesina, a network of nonprofit Spanish-language radio stations.

Cherny said he’s proud to have Nowakowski’s support.

“Having the backing of such strong, well-respected Arizona leader is an honor,” he said. “I look forward to continuing to work with Councilman Nowakowski to rebuild America’s middle class.”

Another emerging Latino in Arizona running in Arizona District 9 — Martin Sepulveda

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

We have another emerging Latino leader on the rise.  His name is Marty Sepulveda.  He is also running against the infamous

Marty Sepulveda (Latin candidate) running for Arizona District 9

Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema who got tough on immigration because she saw the benefits of demonizing my people for her own political expediency.  Remember when Sinema shouted from the mountain tops her love for Russell Pearce?  Let’s not forget about how Sinema wanted Carlos Galindo arrested, too.  In fact the video of Carlos getting arrested and escorted can be viewed here. Latinos are fed up with Democratic politicians like Sinema paying them lip service.

See this story from liberal democratic voter –  Abe Morales of Tucson Citizen below.

It gets ‘better’ though….Vernon Parker is also running in this same district.  We remember Vernon Parker who ran a circus in 2010 when he decided to demonize my people by siding with the infamous Joe Arpaio and running a bus tour program with his fans at the border.  Can you believe that?  Vernon Parker thought it was cute to have these Joe Arpaio trips to the border and guess where they got him in 2010?

He lost.

Where was Vernon’s tour for Arizona taxpayers when Joe Arpaio wasted millions of our dollars?  Where was Vernon at with regard to Mr. Arpaio’s deputies who failed to investigate or conducted only the sketchiest of inquiries into more than 400 sex crimes between 2005 and 2007? Many of those cases involved molested children. But what is worse is how Vernon is supposed to be some kind of leader in Christian ministry but does not love his neighbor as his Jesus instructs.  [Under Vernon's rules, he would have had his own Jesus and his disciples arrested when one of the disciples picked to eat on the Sabbath Day since they were not supposed to "work" on the Sabbath.]

See where this is going?

On one hand, you have Vernon Parker (Republican candidate) who ran a Joe Arpaio circus in 2010 as he demonized Latinos, and on the other hand,  you have a Democratic candidate via Kyrsten Sinema who wanted to get tough on immigration.  Both sides wanted to flex their anti-immigrant muscle or get tough on immigration muscle.  Both are tied to losers.  Sinema is tied to Russell Pearce while Vernon is tied to the corrupt Joe Arpaio.

So where does that leave Latinos?

It should hella lead them to the Independent Party.   It’s too bad Marty didn’t run as an Independent candidate to bypass all this party bullshit.

A little bit about Marty:

Following graduation, Martin enlisted in the US Marine Corps and subsequently earned a commission in the US Navy. In 1988 he left active military service to pursue his civilian career but continued to serve in the United States Navy Reserve. Today, he is a Commander in the Navy Reserve.

VIDEO: Why is Russell Pearce defending Democratic Kyrsten Sinema?

Friday, November 4th, 2011

We have heard Russell Pearce supporters refer to his competition, Jerry Lewis as a “RINO” or Republican In Name Only, however, it appears Pearce has no room to talk.

We have video of Russell Pearce defending Democratic state legislator Kyrsten Sinema that can be seen  here.

There is no video coverage of Jerry Lewis (Republican candidate running against Russell Pearce) where you  will see him defending a Democratic politician via video.  Pearce supporters can no longer call Jerry Lewis a “RINO”.   If so, then perhaps Greg Western and the rest of the Tea Party and Russell Pearce supporters might explain why Pearce is defending a Democratic legislator.

More importantly, Jerry Lewis has never accepted ILLEGAL contributions! Jerry Lewis WILL NOT accept political perks or gifts that Pearce has received.  We see Jerry’s pledge, but where is Pearce’s pledge to never receive political and corrupt perks?

What part of “ILLEGAL” does Russell Pearce not understand?

RUSSELL PEARCE FIESTA BOWL FIASCO!
