Ron Barber: Spins on Obama

by on May. 25, 2012, under Seeing Red AZ

Staggering ineptitude revealed for all to see

Less than twelve hours after refusing to answer a simple question posed by Jesse Kelly, regarding whom he would support for president, Democrat Ron Barber reversed his position.

Ron Barber’s cringe-worthy political clumsiness during Wednesday night’s CD 8 debate is mind-boggling. USAToday reveals the task for cleanup was left to his spokeswoman Jessica Schultz, who issued a statement citing Barber’s support for Obama. That was preferable to...

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Who said this? Jason Rose, Arizona GOP political strategist. No, really.

Pema Levy reports at Talking Points Memo A ‘Political Greek God’: Even Republicans Think Carmona Has a Chance In Arizona:

“Political Greek god,” “amazing” and “tremendous” are all words used to describe Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Richard Carmona — by Republicans.

Many Arizona Republicans think the Democrat who was personally tapped by President Obama to run could be the fir...

Media fail at the Arizona Daily Star continues

by on May. 25, 2012, under Blog For Arizona

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

Jesse Kelly is avoiding the media like the plague, just as he did in 2010. Everything comes through his campaign spokespersons, one of whom is the Arizona Daily Star's former talentless hack political reporter, Daniel Scarpinato, who somehow fell upwards to land a job with the RNCC after blowing a tailor-made election for Jonathan "Payday" Paton in 2010 by losing to the political neophyte Jesse Kelly in the GOP primary (I mean really, how else does one explain this other ...

Obama must go to the trenches to win in November

by on May. 25, 2012, under Nasty Jack


During the middle of April, a CNN poll of registered voters showed the President leading Mitt Romney by nine points if the vote was held then.  Today, a Washington Post-ABC News poll reports that they are tied at 47 percent.  The latter does show that overall, 49 percent are actually in Obama’s corner with 46 percent for Romney.  The CNN poll was conducted just 2 days after Hilary Rosen said that Ann Romney hadn’t worked a day in her life.

Other polls found that the decision by...

Ron Barber BALKS At Supporting Obama! Pass The Popcorn!

by on May. 25, 2012, under Fort Buckley

Surely, you’ve all heard by now about Ron Barber’s open statement of support for President Obama during Wednesday’s CD8 debate?

Oh, you haven’t? Well, there’s a good reason for that. Ron Barber REFUSED to affirm his support for Obama in public, when asked!

Kelly asked Barber to declare who he’ll vote for in November for president, and Barber — although a Democrat with an incumbent president of his party — refused, saying he’s focused on his own campaign.

Does Ron Barber Think the First Amendment is BROKEN, and Needs To Be Fixed?

by on May. 25, 2012, under Fort Buckley

I doubt he does. But the leader of his party in the House of Representatives sure does. She wants to change it, and she sounds serious

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday endorsed a movement announced by other congressional Democrats on Wednesday to ratify an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow Congress to regulate political speech when it is engaged in by corporations as opposed to individuals.

Sure, let’s tinker with the First Amendment so that it suits one p...

RNC National Committeewoman Calls on Carmona to Stop Hiding Behind Campaign Operatives & Come Clean On Abuse Allegations

by on May. 24, 2012, under Sonoran Alliance

PHOENIX, AZ – Earlier this week, both Politico and the Associated Press published exhaustive reports detailing serious past allegations made against Democratic Senate candidate Richard Carmona.

These allegations outlined the abuse of taxpayer dollars, including billing the government for personal travel, while Carmona was Surgeon General— an issue backed up by internal government emails received by the Associated Press, as well as the Carmona campaign’s own acknowledgement that he was for...

Jesse Kelly Psychotically Dodging Questions On ALIPAC Endorsement

by on May. 24, 2012, under Blog For Arizona

By Michael Bryan

This story has already been picked up nationally by the Maddow Blog, and I expect it will air on the Rachel Maddow Show. Locally, Jim Nintzel posted on it at The Range Blog. Rachel recently did a segment on idiot Congresscritter Mike Coffman who was caught by a reporter mindlessly mouthing his apology mantra - for saying that Obama is not an American in his heart - over and over verbatim, like an idiot parrot.

Apparently, when there is something a GOPer REALLY doesn't want to ta...

Wall Street Lessons

by on May. 24, 2012, under The Right To Be Heard

1. Facebook may have hid information about weak revenue growth: According to one lawsuit launched since the company went public, Facebook “concealed crucial information” regarding weak revenue growth, failing to disclose a revised revenue forecast, much like Wall Street banks failed to provide key information about mortgage securities they were peddling before the financial crisis.

2. Morgan Stanley alerted “preferred” investors to Facebook’s poor growth forecasts: Facebook’s Wall Str...

Liberal study finds comedy show viewers better informed than FOX News watchers

Well wouldn’t you know? A study conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind has concluded that FOX News viewers are less knowledgeable on political issues than people who only listened to leftwing NPR, watched the alphabet network biased Sunday morning talk shows or the supposedly comedic “Jon Stewart‘s The Daily Show” — all with a reliable leftward slant.

Insurance Companies and Bureaucrats, Obamacare’s Big Winners

by on May. 24, 2012, under Sonoran Alliance

By Diane Cohen

When the topic is protecting liberty and the headline reads, “Even in Illinois but not in Arizona,” we’re in trouble. Indeed, while even the Democrat-controlled legislature in President Obama’s adopted home state of Illinois said no to establishing an insurance exchange to facilitate the federal health care law, Arizona is moving full steam ahead with its exchange and is using more than $30 million in federal tax dollars to do so.

While exchange supporters euphemistically ...
