MARICOPA COUNTY NUMBER 1

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013
Maricopa County cast the second most number of votes for Romney (749,885 with only 602,288 for Obama) of any county in America. Only Los Angeles County cast more votes for Romney (885 thousand but cast 2.2 million for Obama).
 
Harris County (Houston suburbs) was third at a mere 586,073 thousand for Romney (587,044 for Obama), Orange County fourth at 582,332 (512,440 for Obama) and San Diego County fifth at 532 thousand (652 thousand for Obama). Los Angeles, Harris and San Diego Counties al...

CONSERVATIVES 5 TOBIN/GRAY 0

Saturday, January 12th, 2013
In a clean sweep for grass roots conservatives, the Maricopa County Precinct Committeemen repudiated the Tobin/Gray public employee union slate at the Statutory Meeting this morning.  Lisa Gray and her team spent the most money ever in a county leadership election to no avail. 

Slick mailers, robo calls, arm twisting from the second floor at the House of Representatives were not enough to make winners of the integrity challenged slate bought and paid for by union and lib...

NO GRAY AREA

OR GRAY MATTER

It is Black or White and Left or Right

Lisa and her cronies leave no gray area on their lack of conservative qualifications.  In addition to their own liberal/progressive/ purple/RINO public employee union/illegal immigration public record nearly all of their legislative endorsements are either exiles from the cellar mushrooms or Tobin sycophants we have grown to abhor.  By their fruits you shall know them.

Gray and gang are so devoid of Const...

Just when I thought it was safe

to go to a District 23 meeting.

The Mustang Library lived up to its name!

Wild Horses - cattle thieves - they're nothing!

How about the Gunfight at the OK Corral.

Doug Little and Team LaFaro played the roles of Doc Holliday and the Earp Brothers.

Lisa and Rick Gray played the McLaurys and Robert Graham came to the showdown in Act 3 playing Ike Clanton

It has been years since the refined folks of North Scottsdale heard terms like "s**-of-a-bi***" and "public union bi*** boy" in the same meeti...

Arizona Party Builders? Which Party?

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013

Excerpted from Armorandshield.blogspot.com

With the fiasco surrounding the Republican Victory Fund still fresh in our minds, we couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when we learned that two candidates on a slate running for the Maricopa County Republican Committee voted against a resolution to censure Senate President Steve Pierce, and House Speaker Andy Tobin for their involvement.

Why would Lisa Gray and Rene Lopez vote against the resolution? Were they not concerned about the underhanded actions...

Dear Concerned Citizen,

Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured by Canadian Forces, subsequently transferred to the Afghani Government and currently being held by Afghan officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.

Our administration takes these matters seriously and your opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottaw...

Required Reading for AZ Legislators

Wednesday, January 9th, 2013
Breitbart.com today runs a story ( http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/08/Economy-Grows-Revenues-Increase-After-Texas-Slashes-Spending ) that should be required reading for all of our Arizona Legislators.  The story is focused on the unexpected growth in Texas Budget revenues and the underlying reason for that growth. 

In 2011, Texas was facing a $21 BILLION shortfall in its general fund.  To address the issue, Texas took a different course than Arizona. ...

Huppenthal describes his A.S.S.

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013
John Huppenthal, Arizona's Superintendent of Public Instruction, tonight introduced his plan to replace the AIMS test with his new Arizona State Standards (A.S.S. --  REALLY, that is what he has called his new brain dump).  Supposedly this will improve the level of student achievement in our state.

In what was a shocker to everyone in attendance at his community Q and A Forum at Grand Canyon University, Huppenthal showed his absolute dearth of knowledge on the main education threat...

The Fifty First Arizona Legislature

Monday, January 7th, 2013

Arizona, 


A red state where every statewide office is held by a Republican for the first time in the history of the state;

A red state where Republicans now hold every county wide office in Maricopa, Mohave, Pinal and Yavapai Counties for the first time in history;

A red state where Republicans hold every county wide office with the following exceptions in Cochise (1), Gila (1)and Graham (2) Counties;

A red state where Republicans hold more municipal offices than e...

The Fifty-First Arizona Legislature

Friday, January 4th, 2013

Why the reduced GOP Senate majority?
While Republicans still muster a majority in both houses of the legislature, the veto-proof majority is a thing of the past.  In spite of the incessant excuses injected into the mainstream media by their communications wonks, the main reason for this reduction lies at the feet of Speaker Tobin and former Senate President Pierce.  Former Senate President Pierce must take the primary responsibility for our fragile majority in the Senate. ...

2013 A new page for the AZGOP

Monday, December 24th, 2012


2012 was very turbulent and it would be nice if the new year would bring stability but we are not hopeful that will be the case. It appears that the grass roots have been successfully split by the powers on the second floor of the legislature and the ninth floor of the Capitol Tower.

We must all be alert of those who speak of their conservative principles when their work product does not match the rhetoric. It is important that each Precinct Committeeman and State Committeeman do their homework a...

2012 – The Beginning or The End?

America - Arizona - AZGOP

All of the above are at a tipping point this year.  YOU can make the difference.  We don't need more meetings, more people being 'involved', or more circular firing squads.

If we are to win this war for the American Way, it will take a strong COMMITMENT to the battle by people who are willing to give up everything, instead of using the system to enhance themselves.

Remember, in a bacon and eggs breakfast, the chicken is involved while the pig is committed. ...

Congratulations
Reince Priebus new RNC Chair

The Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman, Reince Priebus has been elected as the new Chairman of the Republican National Committee on the seventh ballot.  Mr. Priebus led on every ballot, and increased his vote total on every ballot that culminated with 97 votes.  The Committee later unanimously approved his selection by acclimation.


The former Chairman, Michael Steele, dropped out after the fourth ballot as his support waned on every ballot fr...

Haney, Conservative Slate
squashes McCain, Cheatham

Today's Maricopa County Statutory Meeting at the El Zaribah Shrine Auditorium, was the site of an overwhelming Conservative victory in the election of Republican Party Leadership for the next two years.  Incumbent Chairman Rob Haney defeated newcomer McCain supported candidate Bill Cheatham by the largest margin in recent memory. 

The winning margin of more than 700 votes, 1281 for Haney to 575 for Cheatham, should be a m...

Misplaced finger pointing

"Unintended consequences by one's actions do come home to roost.", states Wes Harris, in a visceral diatribe against Rob Haney. It is unfortunate that Mr. Harris makes accusations against one of our greatest patriots in Maricopa County. It is nearly surreal considering the fact that Mr. Harris has done little more than create disharmony and conflict in his short time in the Party.


Lets see if we can help Mr. Harris. It is the right, no, the DUTY of every conservative Rep...

Pearce Response
to McComish

On Tuesday, Sen. Elect John McComish made the foolish mistake to complain to The Capitol Times for "unfair" actions by Sen. President Elect Russell Pearce.  http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2010/11/30/mccomish-calls-senate-committee-assignments-%e2%80%98unfair%e2%80%99/

For a person with eight years at the Capitol and having served in leadership in the House, this came across as the inappropriate actions of a newcomer to the scene.  It was not destined to turn ou...

TSA Methods Will Kill More Americans on Highway


The recent public ire toward the TSA’s new pat-down and body imaging screening methods is likely to lead to a spike in car-related deaths that will be far larger than any plane-related safety benefits.

As the nation readies for one of the busiest traveling holidays, Steven Horwitz, a professor of economics at St. Lawrence University, states that the probable spike in road travel, caused by adverse feelings towards the Transportation Security A...

Obama Speak at Work

"One of the most frustrating aspects of this fight against terrorism is that it has created a whole security apparatus around us that causes a huge inconvenience for ALL of us,"   -BHO

We have missed the photo ops of the First Family going through the TSA Groping.  We do not ever want to see the naked scans of B. Hussein, Michelle or their Progeny.  That would probably make us go instantly blind.

This embarrassingly stupid assertion goes along with his call f...

Shellacked at home
then Shellacked abroad


It appears that the President has failed in his billion dollar mission to restore his tarnished image.  On November 2, the policies of Barack Hussein were repudiated by his foster countrymen with a thorough shellacking at the ballot box.  Americans made the right choice in turning out nearly seventy Democrat Congressmen along with the governors of almost all of the midwestern states plus a few more for good measure.


For comfort and...

Procrastination will only make the problem worse

Arizona is 900 million dollars in the hole and getting deeper. Our General Fund revenues are about a 100 million dollars a month less than our expenditures. That is about 25 million a week. What that means is the legislature needs to come in NOW and reduce the budget by at least 1.5 billion dollars.

Every day agencies are spending money we don't have. The longer we wait to do the cuts, the less money there will be to fix the pro...
