Russell Pearce’s brother supports…Olivia Cortez?

One of my coworkers mentioned that Russell Pearce’s brother, Lester Pearce, came by his house to collect signatures for Olivia Cortez, a candidate running against Russell Pearce in the upcoming recall election. Why would he do that? Pearce (Lester) explained that the more people that run against Russell Pearce, the more the “anti-Pearce” vote will [...]

“Long-term strategy”

I just about lost it laughing when I heard JT Ready saying that Pearce was like a surrogate father. This video is gold. Watch the video here (after you click on the link, click on the second video. You want the 10 min news story, not the 30 min Pearce interview)

Pearce looks for fake candidates to dilute the anti-Pearce vote?

Who would be the perfect candidate to divide up votes against Russell Pearce? How about a Hispanic woman? Better yet, her signs should say “si se puede”. Other than that, she should have no money or agenda that would help her actually win. See the azcentral.com article about the subject here.

Middlebrook’s Blogging Strategy Doesn’t Pan Out

It appears that Ron Middlebrook needs some new help.  The advice he seemed to take in his latest state house run was to agree with Russell Pearce in everything he says, and try to have your name associated with Pearce whenever possible. According to his public record, Middlebrook hired Shane Wikfors, who is CEO of [...]

Behind the Scenes in District 18 (spoiler alert: It’s JT Ready!)

I was reading a post over at “thoughts on mesa” where the author devises conspirosy theories based on who has donated to Steve Court’s campaign. Since “thoughts” already looked into Steve Court’s campaign, I looked into the other candidate’s donations.  And (gasp!) what do we find here… You can see here, Ron Middlebrook is keeping [...]

Pearce Gets Scared, Has to Back off from Racist Supporters

Interesting article from the New Times: Et tu, Russ? Pearce throws J.T. Ready under the bus, quietly stabs Buffalo Rick Galeener in the back. It tells how Russell Pearce is now taking people off his list of endorsements so he doesn’t get charged with being a racist.  Some of the people on the list are [...]

The Arizona Republic gets it right (for once?)

I hear a lot of bad-mouthing of the Arizona Republic on talk radio, but, since I don’t subscribe to the paper, I don’t really know for sure their views on most subjects. But, at least for once, they got it right in the article, “Time to Dump Pearce”. A few tidbits: “By bad-mouthing leading Republicans, [...]

A Free Pass

One of the issues I have with Russell Pearce is that he seems to be getting a free pass.  I thought more about this when reading the latest New Times article on the subject here. Why would Pearce supporters let him slide on this one?  Being a racist is a serious issue for an elected [...]

Round ‘em up

Take a look at this article: A small town struggles after immigration raid Could that happen here in Mesa?  Probably not to that extent, but the reality exists:  We need to find a real solution to the illegal immigration problem.  And the solution is not to just round ‘em up and throw ‘em out.  The [...]
