Republican District 11 Re-Organization Election Results a Huge Setback for McCain

November 28, 2006

SPECIAL NOTE:

The entire victorious Legislative District 11 Executive slate are Members of the PMRA unit of the Arizona Republican Assembly!  The voting Results for the Executive Committee are listed below the Comments.

Also, it is likely that the next Arizona Republican Party Chairman will be a member of the PMRA unit of the ARA (Randy Pullen current Republican Assembly and Republican Party National Committeeman) since LD11 also elected all but one of our 133 conservative State Committeeman slate and LD11 is BY FAR the largest district among the 30 Arizona Districts!  That election will be held on Saturday, January 27, 2007 and several other large district delegations are also committed to our PMRA candidate.

Therefore there is hope for a future positive Constitutional restoration turnaround starting right here in Arizona!!!

Comments:

It’s no secret that Senator John McCain plans on running for President in 2008.  To smooth his way he needed to solidify his position in Arizona.  First he had to eliminate major Republican opposition within the State Republican Party, starting by taking control of his home district, Legislative District 11, the center of Republican opposition to his record.  Second he needed to place a McCain robot into the position of Republican State Chairman.  To accomplish the second he needed to get his slate of State Committeemen elected at the LD11 election November 28th as LD11’s 133 State Committeemen contingent (at least twice the size of the next largest district) will be key to deciding the next State Chairman.

In the face of this plan, the November 28th District 11 Election proved to be a huge setback (in his own district) for Senator John McCain, who was the acknowledged force behind a front group calling themselves the “Grassroots Arizona PAC”, chaired by former Jane Hull aid, Anne Lynch and Treasurer, Jane Lynch (no relation).  The McCain group spent thousands of dollars recruiting Precinct Committeemen in an attempt to takeover control of the district that had started the several Republican Statewide Organization Resolutions of McCain Censure that were passed in 2005-2006 throughout Arizona. – But what was the source of their funding??  Grassroots Arizona PAC 40% funded by Democrat Donors.

Following the September Primary Election of Precinct Committeemen, McCain and his group recruited a complete slate of opposition candidates for the LD11 District Executive Board in retaliation.  Once again the group spent a considerable amount of time and money calling all PC’s and mailing out at least three letters asking for support of their slate.  The McCain Executive Candidates were led by tarnished former Governor and McCain supporter, Fife Symington; an assortment of Countryclub Republicans and RINO’s, some of whom had supported Democrat Janet Napolitano for Governor; and included a pair of very young, uninformed virtual beginners.

Symington had been forced to resign as Governor following a felony conviction, but subsequently received a Presidential Pardon from then President Bill Clinton.  It seems that Symington had saved Clinton from a possible drowning some years ago and Clinton apparently felt he owed one to Symington in gratitude.

The letters asking for support included one endorsed and signed by high-level elected officials who evidently felt the pressure of McCain power (to see why, click on the race for Republican State Chairman), owed McCain for past support, or who have been on McCain’s payroll as assistants in the past. The list was a “who’s who” of McCain self-imposed political subordinates and hangers-on, including Senator John Kyl; Congressmen John Shadegg, Jeff Flake and Rick Renzi; State School Superintendent Tom Horne; Corp. Commissioner Gary Pierce; State Senator Jim Warring; former State Representatives Steve Tully and Laura Knaperek; and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas.

This group presumed to interfere at the grassroots party level (outside of the sphere of their elected office) attempting to use the power of their position to control the very people who were responsible for electing them as their agents, NOT as their rulers.  WHERE WERE THEY when it came to supporting the Republican Candidates for Governor and Attorney General over the left-wing Democrats in the General Election?? --- This group offered NO COMPARABLE JOINT MEDIA ENDORSEMENT for these Republicans when it would have helped defeat the Democrat incumbents!! --- Shame on them!!

Interestingly, Kyl and Shadegg had endorsed well known incumbent RINO and Napolitano supporter, State Senator Carolyn Allen for re-election over known Republican Conservative State Representative, Colette Rosati.  Thus, Carolyn Allen will continue in her senate support for Napolitano’s big-spending liberal fiscal and pro-illegal alien border agendas.

With these people as our representatives, does the Arizona Republican Party need any enemies??

So, other than being the darling of the Democrats and an authoritarian tyrant with dictatorial tendencies, why do constitutional-conservative Republicans who know him oppose McCain???

 

Here are a few of the reasons:

 

  1. The McCain/Lieberman gun show bill: What part of “Shall Not Be Infringed” doesn’t he understand? (www.trugop.org/Editorials/2ndAmendment.htm)
  2. The McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Law that, while infringing on First Amendment Rights, creates so called IRS 527 groups who spend big money on candidate smears and cover-up the issues. (www.opinionjournal.com/diary/?id=110005514)
  3. McCain is the chief sponsor of the McCain/Kolbe/Flake (and Kennedy) amnesty immigration bill.
  4. The Keating Five; John McCain’s Skeleton Closet:  The Keating Five Scandal was the Abramoff Scandal of the 1990 time frame, but McCain and the others taking Keating money and other deals and freebies were NOT prosecuted or forced to resign in shame. (www.realchange.org/mccain.htm#keating)
  5. McCain on “Free Trade”:

a)       NAFTA represents an important component of our international economic policy … Mexico is one of our largest trading partners, and it is in our best interest to maintain as open a border as possible.  Source: (x-ref Drugs) Senate statement, “Drug Free Borders” Mar 18, 1999

b)      Pro-NAFTA, pro-GATT, pro-MFN, pro-Fast Track

McCain supports the following statements regarding free trade: 

1)       Supports NAFTA, including broadening NAFTA to include other countries in the western hemisphere.

2)       Supports GATT and the WTO.

3)       Opposes imposing tariffs on products imported from nations that maintain restrictive trade barriers on American products.

4)       A nation’s human rights record should not affect its “most favored nation” trading status with the US.

5)       Supports granting the President “fast-track” authority.

            Bill SConRes 23 ; vote number 2003-59 on Ma

  1. McCain was the darling of the Log Cabin Republicans when he voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004.
  2. McCain supports the current stem cell research bill that includes the use of embryonic stem cells, in spite of research testing that has shown that embryonic stem cell treatment is NOT effective in aiding patients.
  3. McCain is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) one of the lead plutocratic elitist organizations that has been working for a one world government/ New World Order that would eliminate our U.S Constitution and sovereignty.
