These are not errors either. They are outright lies. Is she working for Harry Mitchell?

Could it be that this hit piece backfired… Susan is having to spend more of her money to lie about Schweikert…

What’s that now… $275,000 of her money to spin the web of deception…

That make two loans within the last 4 days… funny how those loans became necessary once she went negative…

I received a political “hit” piece in the mail today that highlights the dirty politics seemingly running rampant today. It not so cleverly shows the first sentence of a cover letter to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors attached to an April 2007 audit report. What it doesn’t show is the second paragraph, conveniently covered up, which reads in its entirety “For the Period reviewed, we found the Treasurer’s portfolio to be in compliance (emphasis added) with State Statutes and with Treasurer’s Office policy. We also found that the interest is apportioned in compliance (emphasis added) with authoritative guidelines.”

Is this “hit piece” the kind of misleading information we want from our leaders? Misleading, cowardly personal attacks cannot be tolerated by voters. We should elect candidates with the highest integrity to represent us. Don’t give your vote to candidates stooping to this level. It’s up to all voters to put a stop this despicable tactic.

I never understood why Bitter-Smith even entered this race, what real support does she have? Then when she does enter, things go negative. I too am supporting Laura Knaperek, she has always done a good job and you know what she stands for.

AZRED5…

Again… SA has spoonfed fed you the information to make a informed conclusion regarding the gas tax LIE… and you either refuse to make an educated conclusion or your inept to do so?

It is well documented that she does not support FISA as it could adversly affect her telecom clients… She has raised taxes in every position she’s held…
and she is pro-choice!

tell me what is incorrect here?

Roger Maris*,

Your pal Schweikert threw the first 3 punches. Are you suggesting Smith should sit on the sidelines and enjoy the beating? It’s hard to tell what Schweikert is talking about in his mailpieces since he documents nothing. Raised taxes — wrong!!! And what is this babble about terrorists? To use your boy’s fave expression — INSANE! You gotta document this kind of stuff and there is NONE on Schweikert’s hit pieces.

I know he thinks raising a fuel tax by 8 cents isn’t a tax increase. And since all the conservatives voted for it, it must have been the right thing to do (just like Alt Fuels). But that kind of logic is INSANE!

It is fair to say however… That this race was civil and about issues until Bitter-Smith got in…

History does repeat itself….

There is a growing discontent with the level of negativity this cycle. You are right nightcrawler, it is a shame.

This is one race I do know something about. I know each of the candidates and like them all personally. I will support the winner, no matter who that should be.

Having said that, I am going with Jimmy O, the walking man. Mark Anderson, Laura Knaperek and Jimmy O have all stood above the fray. The rank and file voters are fed up with the hit pieces and phone calls. Shoot (no pun intended) I am active in CD5 and I’m fed up. DS and SBS will have effectively knocked each other out. It is a shame really.

Yes, Susan has lost her mind. She is running a dirty campaign, just like the one she helped Arpaio run.

AZRED5…

The Dems are already coming after him… Susan is the farthest thing from a Reagan Republican or even a Republican for that matter…

Furthermore… You a despicable individual to condone this… or you are just another part of the uneducated electorate… take your pick…

Susan’s problem is the only thing scarier than a loaded semi-automatic isn’t a gas nozzle… its a vacuum nozzle…

Lastly… Bitter-Smith knows these attacks to be falsehoods and distortions… Schweikert’s comparison pieces were all true…

She is pro-choice, pro-illegal immigrant, anti-FISA, tax-hiking, career lobbyist RINO! Tell me what’s not true?

After Schweikert’s three hit pieces, I’m glad to see Smith throw a punch back. It’s sad to see Schweikert and his crowd squeal like a stuck pig and whine like a bunch of babies. If Schweikert wins the primary what’s he going to do when the Dem’s come after him, curl up in the closet and cry some more? And, if tradition holds, the Club money dries up in the general.

You are not alone, Pioneer.

Laura may not have raised, or borrowed, the most money but she does have quality character and credibility.

Some things even money can’t buy!

What could be scarier than this? How about being disarmed and defenseless against it? There is nothing in that picture related to taxes or spending. It looks like an ad from Sarah Brady.

After reading all the bull malarky from both candidates, we’re voting for Laura Knaperek who has done a great job the 10 years she was in the Legislature. Bitter Smith has screwed over the lower income residents of Scottsdale by forcing them out of their apartments only to have hundreds of the units sit vacant. Thanks Susan for nothing. Go find somewhere else to live… try Chicago where they deal in your type of politics.
