Have You Seen Me?
Recently it has come to the attention of many Arizona conservative activists and tea party members that there are a number of Teachers Union candidates posing as Republicans in our legislative races — make no mistake about it, these are Trojan Horse candidates…also known as “Democrats in Disguise”, or “DID’s” for short. They are supported by the Arizona Educational Association, Teach for America, the ASU bureaucracy and most administrative organizations.
Parents who choose Christian schooling, online education, charters, secular private schools and home schooling should be particularly alarmed because these DID candidates are instinctively opposed to expanding school choice.
These chameleon candidates have been emboldened by the passage of a $3 Billion tax hike; also known as Proposition 100. Their plan is to cross the tax hike threshold by planting DIDs in a few heavily Republican districts. Voters will be fooled into thinking they are voting for a fiscally Republican conservative, but they aren’t, and by the time they’d find out who these candidates really are – the damages will have already been done. The Arizona Republic and Citizens for Tax Justice (www.CTJ.org) claimed that Arizonans want to pay higher taxes, but the elected representatives in the legislature weren’t listening. So, this is their plan to implore candidates to vote for higher taxes for public education.
Their website (www.ExpectMoreArizona.org) says nothing about better education, just higher taxes. In fact here is a snipit from a “blogger” on their ”Expect More Blog” by a supposed small buisiness owner:
“As a small business owner I believe we, the taxpayers of Arizona, should invest heavily in our public education system. In fact, I am willing to step up and pay more in personal and business taxes so that we can hire the best teachers, build modern infrastructure and attract the most innovative and brilliant leaders…” Read the rest of this entry »
10 Reasons to Vote JD for Senate
Posted: 19th July 2010 by Arizona Luke in Campaign, Candidate News, Conservatism, Endorsements, SenateTags: Deakin, JD Hayworth, McCain, RINO, Senate 2010, Tea Party
As one of those despised “Undecided Independents” for last few months, I decided to let the debates be my final determination on whom I’ll support in the highly contested GOP Senate Primary. After watching both debates, and learning as much as I could about each candidate’s record, I have decided to back JD Hayworth for US Senate. I especially commend JD on his poise, mastery of the issues, and total evisceration of McCain’s Progressive record at Saturday’s debate in Tucson. For “my friends” and I, Saturday’s debate was conservative-porn, and for the McCain camp, a complete nightmare.
I support JD not only because he had one hour in “the zone” but more so because of his career as a proven Conservative voice for Arizona. He’s the right man at the right time. And here are 10 reasons why I can make that statement:
1.) He supports low taxes as a method to boost the economy; Was on the Ways and Means Committee, and took part in writing the Bush Tax Cuts. Tax Cuts that McCain, using the Progressive mantra, stated “they favor the rich”. But we all remember the economy is not something McCain understands as well as he should.
2.) JD Hayworth never trashed the American work-ethic.
[NOTE: I called John McCain's office to take him up on the $50/hr Yuma lettuce-picking job but have yet to receive a call-back.]
3.) He signed the “Contract From America” holding himself accountable to Tea Party Patriots/Conservatives that have given ALL politicians a short leash. He did this knowing full well that if backs out of ANY provision, JD will have HELL to pay from Constitutional Conservatives around the nation.
4.) As the Arizona Right to Life put it, “JD Hayworth had a PERFECT pro-life voting record during his service in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
[NOTE about McCain's AZRTL endorsement he proudly crows about -- From the AZ Right to Life website: "Under the AZRTL PAC criteria for endorsing candidates, if the incumbent candidate and the challenger both have a pro-life voting record, AZRTL PAC will endorse the incumbent over the challenger."]
5.) JD was correct when stating that “Amnesty” would generate Political blowback that would hit the GOP hard and cost them the House and Senate. JD was right. McCain was wrong.
In a National Review Online (April 3rd 2006) interview JD prophetically states ““If Congress should ever send a guest-worker plan to the president for enactment, I think it may just seal our doom come November.”
He was speaking of the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act” that was introduced a few days later, co-sponsored by turncoat and political opportunist Arlen Specter and coincidentally, John Sidney McCain among others.
6.) JD Hayworth emceed and helped launch the 1st Arizona Tax-Day Tea Party Protest on April 15, 2009 at the State Capital. Earned his Tea Party stripes from the start. Have yet to see JD at a “Los Suns” game during a BuyCott rally.
7.) JD’s wife never personally insulted me by posing for the liberal ‘NOH8″ advertisements implying that I have “hate” in my heart just because I follow my Catholic faith’s opposition to same-sex marriage.
8.) JD can say proudly that he was NEVER endorsed by ACORN. McCain, not so much.
9.) JD will do what he can in his power as a Senator to get a fence built because it’s the correct thing to do, and not do it just to score political points.
10.) Lastly but most importantly, electing JD as our junior Senator will give the Senate GOP a much-needed spinal cord implant.
We know that JD will NOT become the McCain “Progressive-Lite” Senator that will work with Lindsey Graham, or the Obama Administration on legislation such as Amnesty, ObamaCare, or the violation of Free Speech (McCain-Feingold), just to get worshiped by the media for his “Legislative Accomplishments” and for reaching across the aisle. This is the main problem Conservatives have with John McCain. The fact that he’ll ‘reach across the aisle’ to tear out the heart of the Conservatives for his own political gain.
These 10 reason, along with about a dozen more are why I am donating my talent, time, and dollars to the election of JD Hayworth in Arizona’s Primary on August 24th.
Senate Candidate Deakin, showing his ignorance…again.
Posted: 18th July 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Campaign, Candidate News, Law, Patriot ActTags: Jim Deakin, Patriot Act, President George W. Bush
The Patriot Act comes up once again in the Arizona Senate Debate between Incumbent John McCain, JD Hayworth and Jim Deakin. During a recent debate, Deakin, in an attempt to paint his competition in a negative light, brought up the fact that Senator McCain and then Representative Hayworth both voted for the Patriot Act. Jim Deakin has stated his position in the past with the Tucson Citizen on how he fells about the Patriot act:
“I oppose every bit of the Patriot Act. We should have been enforcing the laws that were already available.”
In that statement, Deakin is stating that he opposes every bit of the Act, which by definition also has to include the parts that removed several Clinton-era restrictions that had erected “walls of separation” preventing intelligence officials and law-enforcement officials from sharing information. Regardless of whether or not you like or dislike the Patriot Act, Deakin’s statement clearly shows his ignorance in the rule of law, fighting terrorism, global government, foreign policy and national defense.

The Patriot Caucus & Liberty First PAC Endorses Janet Contreras
Posted: 15th July 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Campaign, Candidate News, Endorsements
The Arizona Chapter of the Patriot Caucus, a project of LibertyFirst PAC has announced the full endorsement of Janet Contreras in the primary to defeat incumbent and liberal Democrat Congressman Ed Pastor in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District. The caucus is a conservative-minded political action committee of tea party organizers, activists and bloggers dedicated to the ideals of the tea party movement (including lower taxes, limited government, strong national defense, strong positions on illegal immigration, energy independence and family values).
“It is very rare that a candidates platform matches so closely to that of the local and national tea parties,” said Keith Sipmann, Chair of the PAC. “As seen in her famous open letter to Glenn Beck, Contreras has taken very strong positions on illegal immigration, border security, government run healthcare, excessive government spending, Cap and Trade and an overall lack of accountability in government. If theres a candidate in the CD4 race that puts the needs of Arizona voters first, that believes in the Constitution and the concept of Liberty, its Janet Contreras. The Patriot Caucus and LibertyFirst PAC supports candidates who put political parties aside and place liberty first when casting a vote or making critical political decisions. We are very proud to support her.”
We would also like to encourage you to join us, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, JD Hayworth, Ruth McLung and Janet Contreras at the Skye Bar on July 15th at 6:00pm for the West Valley Republican Professionals Inaugrual event. See event details here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=110758522302502&ref=mf

Special Arizona Event: Hayworth vs. McCain
Posted: 9th July 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Campaign, Republicans, SenateTags: JD Hayworth, John McCain
Sen. John McCain is caught on tape at two Florida fundraisers hosted by a convicted felon – who will spend the rest of his life in prison for a Ponzi scheme that helped finance McCain’s 2008 Presidential campaign – who raised more money for McCain than anyone else – and who McCain now says he “can’t pick out of a lineup.”
Senate Candidate Goes On Offensive Against Tea Partier?
Posted: 1st July 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Campaign, Candidate News, SenateTags: Arizona, JD Hayworth, Jim Deakin, John McCain
June 7th, 2010 an article was on posted Sonoran Alliance that included a link to a local poll labeled “Should Deakin drop out of the AZ Senate race?”. Naturally this poll received some attention from the Deakin campaign, and for good reason as the poll indicated that a majority of participants felt that Deakin should withdraw or drop out of the Senate Race. The poll was established shortly after two separate Sonoran Alliance opinion pieces called for Deakin to bow out of the Senate race. What Jim Deakin choose to do with that information however is no mystery. Instead of trying to work at his campaign to put himself into a better position, he choose to tell the organizer of the poll to “Butt out of Arizona Politics”. It’s important to note that Mr. Deakin knows exactly who the pollster was, and that the organizer of the poll is a local Arizona resident, voter, and member of the Tea Party movement in Arizona. The point being made here is that Jim Deakin is establishing an unpleasant reputation among many tea party groups and individuals that are not in support of him. This is a confusing position for him to have since he is a candidate that claims to promote tea party principles, free speech and the Constitution.
On both the Arizona Tea Party Network website and the Greater Phoenix Tea Party website are forum areas for Tea Party members to discuss candidate related content; Deakin and his campaign staff frequent the forums and post updates regularly under pseudonyms like “JPD”. June 8th, in response to the Sonoran Article listed above, Jim Deakin’s camp posted the following message in at least 9 separate areas of Greater Phoenix Tea Party website and 1 area on the Arizona Tea Party Network website:
“Speaking of interfering in elections of a Federal Candidate on an email with this paid for notice “Paid for by Maricopa County Republican Committee”. is a link to a poll made by the Congressman’s campaigner Keith Sippmann “should deakin drop out of the us senate race! Call Rob Haney Maricopa County Chair and tell him… I said HELL NO! (602) 996-1004″;
A rational person would have to question why someone would go through the trouble of posting the same update in ten different places. What is the purpose? The logical answer is that Mr. Deakin was basically implying that the MCRC was somehow approving of the polls position by including a link to the poll in a regular email communication that includes many other links to articles and related local political content. Of course this is an intentional misrepresentation of the truth by the Deakin camp, and a blatant attempt at labeling a citizen activist that opposes his candidacy for Senate as a “Congressman’s Campaigner”, again misrepresenting the truth that the activist somehow officially works for the JD Hayworth campaign. The MCRC was contacted by a concerned Tea Party member and was informed that “ the e-mail that was sent out by the MCRC was NOT an endorsement, simply an FYI, just like any other news link or other piece of information regarding any Republican Race in the State or County.”
Whenever a discussion appears online suggesting that Jim Deakin withdraw from the Senate race, his supporters always use the phrase “only a moron votes for the lesser of two evils as opposed to the RIGHT candidate.” These Deakin’ites don’t care that Deakin still isn’t breaking double-digits no matter what poll is quoted, or that he could possibly hand the seat to McCain. Instead his campaign posts a link to a CBS News article revealing that “Among Republicans, 71 percent would rather vote for a candidate with no experience.”, as if this somehow translates into more Arizona voters supporting him over Hayworth or McCain. At some point the die hard Deakin supporters and Jim Deakin himself, will have to realize that their individualist, political “outcast” attitude is just a matter of pride. To them, popular political movements that don’t favor “their guy” or “their way” of doing something must be wrong. They feel that a majority of people cannot be very smart if they aren’t supporting their candidates or initiatives, which is an attitude of intellectual elitism ironically found on the other end of the spectrum with the far leftists. It would seem that Mr. Deakin likes being the outcat of the bunch, and if he’s despised for it, all the better. And that’s the truth behind why Deakin says “Hell no” about dropping out, and if it kills his political career then he is happy to be a martyr.
Jim Deakin, Arizona’s spoiler candidate…
Posted: 1st July 2010 by Keith Sipmann in Campaign, SenateTags: JD Hayworth, Jim Deakin
Jim Deakin, the spoiler candidate in the U.S. Senate race, taking votes away from JD Hayworth which will essentially hand the election over to McCain, explains at an LD meeting that he is polling at 20%, because he counts the 7% he is polling in the Rasmussen poll, PLUS 14% from other polls. Doesn’t add up.
