By the way, no Sun Wheel (“swastika” for you ignorant types) was lit at the Omaha rally in front of the Mexican consulate. There are many inaccuracies in many statements made by these three blind mice. I cringe to think of these congressmen in charge of any intelligence of a national security level.

Furthermore, it seems that those who trumpet free speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble, and democracy the most, are the first and most viciously vocal to oppose those very same principles when someone whom they disagree with exercises those same exact rights.
These tyrants can not battle my ideals with better ideas. So they use bully tactics to try to harm me. But this just helps to prove my point that I am right.

So, thanks for the endorsement Franks, Shadegg and Flake.

P.S. This Hunter character is a liar and a fraud. Russell never asked me not to run. I certainly would not step down from ofice either. Russell did not ask me to do that either. The fact is that I am moving from that third world hellhole which I have been a PC in since 2002 (not just 2006) and I have lived in for 12 years. It would be dishonest of me to run to further represent my neighbors as their PC if I plan on moving. Even if that would have been some serious soap in the eyes of those opposed to me.

Own it gang.

Read it and weep. And i hate to say I told you but…I TOLD YOU!
More info is a coming. You may want to reconcider Pearce as your man.

More will be revealed. Arpaio has neo-Nazi ties as well as does Andrew Thomas and the BOS have been kissing up to a few lately as well. The only way to fix this now is to stop trying to cover it up or ignore it.

I have asked the readers to please direct me to when and what Pearce has said on record concerning his involvement with Ready.
I still await a link and direct dated quote. Please be the Party with integrity and help me with this.

I will supply 2 quotes Pearce made concerning the known neo-Nazi Ready and his involvement. One from 12/01/07 at the Arpaio Roast and one he gave on video on his way into the Pearce\Gibbons debate.

He has never shown consistency on this issue. And shame on the GOP’s for not making him. He represents your values?

Pearce is your problem-not Ready or Flake. It was public info about Ready’s background 3 months before they chummed at the State Capitol. Call me what you will, but so far (except John Doe) I see a group of folks in denial and they do not even realize that more trouble is right around the corner. Stories like this have a way of uncovering more pictures and info as time goes on.

Who sent the neo-Nazi email to Pearce that he sent to over 200 people? Apology or no apology, it opens up speculation.
Flake never sent it, I didn’t and neither did Gibbons. But more importantly who sent it to Pearce? Pearce knows but has avioded the issue. He no longer can. He hurts all of you when he does.

If Pearce would’ve been man enough to admit that he had marriage problems, got counseling (through his church or wherever) the story may not go away but the man would earn integrity.
Instead-police records show up from violence from his first marriage. Not real good for a man who wont admit a mistake. Look what happened to Clinton-he lied to us. That was the scandal that got him. Do you folks really expect us to believe Pearce?

You still don’t see a problem here? If Pearce gets the nomination and goes on to a likely victory, you may be having to remove him.
Is that good for Mesa or Arizona or the GOP? Does either party really need scandal? Is that good for America?

The scandal he is referring the Congressmen brining this issue up when they know it is too late to do anything about it. Any of them could have written this letter (or even just called on the phone) to get something done months ago. Flake is quoted as saying he was unaware Ready was still a PC until recently which is why he didn’t do anything about it until now. Assuming that’s true (clearly a BIG assumption), he didn’t know what was going on any more than many other people. Does that make his ignorance of JT Ready’s position scandalous? No, of course not.

As long as we allow people to get elected as PCs and not have to get approval from a central vetting body, we will always have problems like this. Even with a central vetting body, there could still be problems.I prefer the more democratic (small D)approach because the alternative is even worse.

Is having JT Ready as a PC a scandal? No. It is awful, though. Have the leaders in LD 18 dealt with it? Yes. Allowing him to get reelected would be a scandal, and that’s not happening. Based on observing JT Ready at the county and state meetings, I presume that just getting him not to run took forceful persuation. I suspect getting him to resign would be almost impossible.

I’m curious, what would you critics actually do? I mean realistic, legal options that would actually work – not ideal, fantasy solutions. How would your solution be better than what is being done? Specifically regarding the Congressmen, my questions is this: Given where we are right now (regardless of how things could have been handled in the past) when they wrote this letter, what realistic options are available for dealing with JT Ready other than letting his term expire? What REALISTIC options do they have for dealing with the problem other than what is already being done?

So now JT Ready is “fake scandal?” Seriously, you need to think about what you are saying before you start typing. Having a neonazi as a PC is a scandal, whether or not you want to accept it. I would also argue that having JT as an elected PC causes much more damage than anything your think Rep. Flake or others have done. It is unfortunate that you will overlook people like JT as long as they share Pearce’s stance on immigration. I think you should take a hard look at yourself in the mirror before you start to talk about gutter politics or call anyone names.

If that is true why didn’t the LD18 leadership and RP ask for JT’s resignation as a PC ? It is hard to remove him, a fool’s errand, so the only real solution would be for him to step down voluntarily.

It really wasn’t up to RP to remove him in the first place. LD18 leadership and the MCRC had that duty. That is the real story here, not RP.
JT does not act alone, a lot of people must have known his status and just remained silent. Those same people are probably praying that JT remains silent as they throw him under a bus.

A PC is an elected official – not just a member of a club. It’s not an easy thing to remove one; it is much easier to just make sure he does not get reelcted.

There can be legitimate disagreement about whether this was handled as quickly as possible or the method of handling it was perfect. There can be no legitimate argument that almost all Republicans including Russell Pearce and his supporters pushed JT Ready out of an official place in the Republican Party as a PC(nobody can really control how he registers to vote).

I think there can also be no reasonable argument that the letter from the Congressmen served any legitimate purpose at this time since any process to remove JT Ready from his position would take longer than having him lose his position because his term is ending.

Accusing people of being JT Ready supporters because of not dealing with him EXACTLY the way you would is irresponsible and wrong. By the way, I don’t recall any of the complainers about how this was handled organizing a recall election for JT Ready back in January. If it was so easy to do, why didn’t they do it.

The bottom line is that Russell Pearce solved the problem before the Congressmen even publicly acknowledged it.

I am guessing that we don’t vote the same way, but I agree with all of your points. If there was responsible leadership within the Maricopa County Republican Party, this would have been handled a long time ago. However, it appears that it is more important to support Pearce and his associates than it is to remove a known neonazi from the party.
