My Identity

I've heard the rumor that my true identity is being hunted.

I'm going to try to hide as long as I can for the fact once people know who is writing, people get a preconceived notion of why a person writes what they do.

I try to be fair and even handed. I hold punches on Politicians that I don't like and I've even punched at a few that I do like. I don't believe in following the same beat everyone else is.

My goal is to have an outlet for my opinions and to get more people involved. I don't subscribe to the "Big Tent" theory that some Arizona Republicans want. I believe in values and honesty. When I see someone being kicked for no reason I'll be the first to protect. When someone else gets it wrong I'll call it like it is.

Maybe I should change my name.

I had REAL work this weekend.

Sorry for the light posting over the weekend. I actually had to do some real work.

Bloggers start thinking that this is a job. It's not. I know my blog doesn't pay my bills....yet. ( I'm working on that.)

Over the weekend there have been several interesting posts on many sites that I've notice. Plus I've been working on a few research pieces. Stayed tuned over the next few days.

Liberals Don't Want Your Vote To Count

Just moments ago in the Arizona State House of Representatives the members failed to pass HB2090 on reconsideration.

HB2090 would require all county recorders to notify anyone who mailed in a early ballot that was not being counted due to the fact signatures did not match. There are many people, especially senior citizens, who registered to vote many years ago and since registering their signatures have changed. If they ordered an early ballot and signed not exactly the same , the ballots are not counted. In some counties the only notification is on a website. Many senior do not have access to the Internet and most people do not check to see if their ballot was counted.

Representative Rick Murphy made a very interesting comment while pushing to pass this bill "Many think that Republicans don't care if every vote is counted, looking at this board ( in reference to the house board that monitors members votes) the opposite is the cases."

The vote came out 25 "ayes" and 33 "nays". Most of the "No" votes coming from Democrats. However a few moderate Republicans (Kirkpatrick, McClure, Tobbin, Konopnicki, Hershberger, and Burns) voted with the Democrats

I believe that these legislators don't want these votes counted due to the well known fact that a higher percentage of early ballots voter are conservative. As we have seen in many races just a few votes could turn the tides. Dems and Moderate Republicans could lose their seat if this were to get through.

But will we ever see a story like this in the main media?

Andrew Thomas Under Fire from Arizona Republic

In a story published today, the Arizona Republic is attacking Andrew Thomas on spending too much money on Death Penalty cases. We have the Death Penalty in the state for a reason. Andrew is doing the right thing again and he needs our support.

Andrew Thomas is not liked by the liberal press due to the fact that he is enforcing immigration laws to the furthest extent possible. Andrew Thomas is also using the Death Penalty in cases. Neither stand to earn him friends on the liberal end of the continuum.

Now here's the kicker, Andrew is up for re-election in '08. I don't think that this is a coincidence that this story is running. This story will give any challenger a Republican or Democrat ammo in a negative hit piece. This story is trying to say that Andrew is spending too much money- a Republican issue . This story is also saying to the liberal he's using the death penalty. The Repulsive is already trying to bloody Thomas for the election cycle.

A few conservatives are not completely happy with Andrew due to the happening in '04 over the District 20 recounts. I'm saying this to the conservatives, Andrew is serving us well on our issues, remember when we elected him as County Attorney, we made him the Attorney of Recorded for the county. Andrew had to defend the county it was his job.

Some conservatives take every bump in the road as a serious issue. Sometime I believe you have to look at the job as a whole. Every Politician will make moves that we don't like. There's is not one out there that you will find is perfect. My suggestion is we need to learn to take the good and the bad. Please voice your concerns to the elected officials but unless it's a deal breaker of an issue maybe you need to get over it.

Haney up and Going Again.

Last Rob Haney was seen at the PAChyderm Coalition meeting last night. Haney was doing well and was in great spirits. The family was very appreciative for all the kind words and prayers. Last word is Rob didn't suffer from a heart attack, but it was a warning light going off.

Rob, make the needed changes so we can have you around for a long, long time.

PAChyderm Elects New Board !!!!

Last Night at Thank Q Rentals.....( Best Rental Service in Town) the PAChyderm Coalition elected a new executive board. Carl Seel former district 6 candidate was elected as Chairman. Milt Wheat moved from Chairman to 1st Vice Chairman. Jim Ries, former Glendale City Council candidate, was elected 2nd Vice Chairman after a great speech. Diana Douglas, Peoria School Board Member, has stayed on as Recording Secretary. Howard Levine rounds out this group as Treasurer.

This new group of individuals, I believe will bring new life and enthusiasm to this group. I expect to see great things this year from PAChyderm.

Why is the Media Paying More Attention to Romney's Religion than Obama's

In the news papers and other blogs over the past week or so, I've notice several articles on Mitt Romney and that his Mormon Religion, why haven't we seen the interview or articles on Obama's Muslim heritage.

Once again the liberal media is protecting one of their own and spinning a conservative.

The media and the ACLU want so bad for it to be either the First Black President or the First Woman President in the United States, they are holding nothing back against our Republican candidates. The media is already favoring the Democratic Candidates 2 to 1 on news reports. When reporting on Presidential campaigns we always see what Hillary's and Obama's campaigns are doing then maybe one of the Republican candidates.

Conservatives need to see the real threat!

Here is Arizona the conservatives in the Republican have been focusing on a "Not McCain" course. Well I'm sorry everyone there is a bigger "RINO" on the field than McCain. Rudy Giuliani right now is ahead in the poles so he might just sail threw because "we" ( I include myself) have been focusing way too hard on McCain.

If conservatives are going to voice displeasure in candidates due their stand on issues. We really need to focus our attention on the worst offender first.

Giuliani is pro-gun control, pro-choice, favors embryonic stem cell research, pro-amnesty, believes in domestic partner benefits, opposed both a federal and state ban on gay marriage, and believe in sanctuary city policies.

Rudy was once quoted "Most of Clinton’s policies are very similar to most of mine."


I'm sorry to many of anti-McCain crowd out there, McCain would be a far better nominee than Giuliani. We need to be making a lot more noise against Giuliani.

Sorry For the Down Time!!!!

Some of you may have noticed some down time yesterday. I purchased a real URL for the site. So now you can tell your friends about the easy name. It's www.AzRepublicanLook.com. I'll also say man I'm getting addicted to blogging. Just a few hours of my site not being seen put me into withdrawals. Is there a 12 step program for bloggers ? But I don't think I have a problem. I'm still in control.

Rob Haney has Heart Attack

I saw this on Espressopundit.

Rob Haney has Suffered a heart attack and is in Paradise Valley Hospital. No word yet on his condition.

As soon as I hear anything I'll let you know.

Rob Haney has worked hard for the Republican Party for many years now. He has great passion for his beliefs. Marne and Rob will be in our prayers today and the following days to come.

UPDATE: Rob is doing well. He is already wanting to come home.

Teens Graduated License Passes the State Senate.

SB 1347 The Teenage Driver Safety Act Pass the Arizona State Senate Today. With 23 "Yes" vote to 6 "No" vote and 1 "Not Voting" Sb 1347 will be transmitted to Arizona State House.

The "No" votes were a mixed bag on the bill. Republicans Flake, Gorman, Johnson and Verschoor voted "No" along with Democrats Pesquiera and Garcia. The "Not Voting" member was Sen. Linda Gray.

McCain's Pro-Life Words.

John McCain over this last weekend campaigned in Iowa and South Carolina. During both stops McCain was confronted about his views on abortion. In both states McCain did say that he believes Roe vs. Wade should be over turned. But what the other media isn't saying is on the matter of stem cell research he believe the nation still needs to have a discussion.

McCain is still not willing to give up on embryonic Stem cell research. In the past McCain has voted for embryonic stem cell research bills. Until Sen. McCain turns away from embryonic stem cell research, he will never be 100% Pro-life.

17 Republican Turncoats vote with Dems on Irag Resolution

These men are the 17 Republican turncoats that voted with the Democrats yesterday in the House. These men voted to send a resolution to the President saying that the Congress does not support sending more troops to Iraq.

Hillary buying Black votes in SC.

NEWSMAX reported on Thurday that Hillary Clinton has "Earned" the endorsement of Sen. Daryl Jackson of South Carolina. It also goes on to tell that the Clinton Campaign is going to pay Sen. Jackson $10,000 a month in "Consulting" fees. In a state where 49% of the Democratic Primary vote is Black American's this is a critical endorsement.

But hey, if you can't earn the votes buy the influence right. Hillary should write a book "How to Buy Friends and Influence Media"

If this is how Clinton is going to run her campaign before long Gov. Napolitano will be "Paid" as a consultant. We all know the Gov. Napolitano will stand by her gal.

Anna is getting in the way of the Hillary and Obama Show

It is very sad that Anna Nicole Smith has died at the age of 39. Sadder is that she leaves behind a 5 month old daughter.

I just found myself this week saying to the news channels "Enough is Enough" and "Please report something new, not just the same facts over and over". That was the pessimist in me. Then the optimist popped it's head out last night. "Hey, but I haven't had to watch the Hillary and Obama show for a week"

Just prior to Anna's death I was definitely noticing a favoring of Hillary and Obama in the news. Everyday I would see their faces splashed across the televisions screen. Major networks were covering normal campaign stops and visit for these two democratic candidates. Where is the same attention to the Republican candidates. I'm sure McCain, Giuliani, and Romney are out there on the campaign trail. Hunter, Brownback, Tancredo and Huckabee are also working hard. I'm sure out of all these candidates one of them will do or say something interesting daily.

So right now I'm thankful that the world is obsessed with Anna Nicole Smith.

Great "Right " Band

I actually found a great band on Myspace. The Right Brother is a great conservative Republican band. It's worth going to their Myspace page and listening to "the List" and "Bush was Right". For those of you who are McCain fan's "the List" may be a little too much for you.

So that is today's entertainment tip.

Renzi Gives Passionate Speech Against Democrat Resolution

I watched Congressman Renzi speech against the Democratic Resolution against the War in Iraq and fully agreed with him. Our troops over there are proud to be over there. The Iraqi people are depending on us to protect them and bring security to there land. If we leave now, we will only leave the door open for terrorist and genocide. The insurgents are now getting energized because they see our waiver. This resolution will bring on more attacks and more of our troops being injured and killed. The democrats will just blame us for being there in the first place. They won't even think that they caused the fighting to increase because of their actions.

The Past Predicts the Future

Reading the blogs today I came across the Politico Mafioso talking about quotes From Sen. Hillary Clinton. This made me want to take out my copy of "Unlimited Access" by Gary Aldrich.

This event takes place on the first Inauguration Day of President Clinton after an discussion of office space. Hillary wanted the office typically for the Vice President.

The policeman knocked and opened the door of the holding room. He immediately shut it, beating a hasty retreat. Hillary Clinton was screaming at her husband in what described as "uncontrolled and unbridled fury." Apparently, the matter of office space was not settled.

The Capitol Hill police and the Secret Service quickly conferred about intervening if it appeared the president's life might be threatened by the first lady! The question before them was, "How much physical abuse is too much physical abuse?" Unlimited Access pg 11

Now if Hillary acted like this as the First Lady, What will she be like as President?
