Arizona Politics for Conservatives: Sonoran Alliance
Arizona Politics, News, Commentary and Information with a Blatantly Conservative Worldview Presented by an Alliance of Writers, Activists, Consultants and Government Insiders.
As Primary Election rapidly approaches, Republican voters (as well as independents) will have an opportunity to decide on the Republican nominee for US Senate.
Sonoran Alliance has decided to post our first poll on the three candidates running for US Senate. The question revolves around the strategy behind the scenes.
by Michael Holliday
To do what’s best for our country, John McCain should immediately and without hesitation: (1) halt his race for the Arizona Senate seat; (2) apologize to the American people for his failed political policies—but not before endorsing and then casting his vote for JD Hayworth!
Here’s why:
(1) Mental health requires that one submit oneself to something higher than himself, be it God, love, truth, family, country, etc. John has a personal moral obligation and public duty to put aside his selfish political aspirations in favor of something greater than himself, that is, the greater good of our nation by supporting JD Hayworth’s ethically superior political positions.
(2) Dr. M. Scott Peck MD, author of the best-selling The Road Less Traveled, stated that sanity “is the adherence to reality at all costs [1].” The dictates of reality; hence, sanity, require that John McCain face his political failures and accept the reality of the damage that they’ve done to our nation and way of life. The recognition of these facts will aid the healing process of both our nation and McCain, himself. To do otherwise would be a further continuation of his insane policies; hence, further deepening his own apparent political psychosis and consequential damage to America.

Sheriff Arpaio Gets Help in Rooting Out County Corruption
FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY BOB BARR TO ASSIST IN FIGHTING BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTION TO MEDIATE CLAIMS
(Phoenix, AZ.) Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, while at the forefront of the national illegal immigration debate, is now having to taking aim at an equally tough challenge: rooting out what may end up being one of the worst and most bizarre public corruption cases in Arizona. In a press conference today, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former County Attorney Andrew Thomas introduced the man they believe can help sort it all out: Bob Barr has agreed to be an expert witness in matters pertaining to the Board of Supervisors. Barr, former U.S. Attorney, Congressman, and chief federal prosecutor in the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton, has been retained as an expert witness in matters facing both Thomas and Sheriff Arpaio. Not only has Barr directed a number of high profile public corruption investigations, he also chaired the Public Corruption Subcommittee of the U.S. Attorney General’s Advisory Committee of United State Attorneys. He is a registered arbitrator and mediator.
In the case facing Maricopa County, Barr will serve as an expert witness lending his considerable experience and knowledge to opine as to the propriety, legality and ethical considerations of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors action taken on June 23 to hire Washington D.C. based mediator Kenneth Feinberg. Feinberg has been asked by county officials to help them ratify bogus financial/legal settlements payable to themselves and amounting to nearly $46 million in taxpayer’s money. “What I have seen so far raises very serious concerns including the potential of serious fraud being perpetrated upon the taxpayers of this county as well as the deprivation of fundamental constitutional rights of the Sheriff and Mr. Thomas,” Barr said today.
Arpaio added that both he and Thomas are confident that Barr’s review of the facts will ultimately lead him to see that the board’s actions are unprecedented, illegal and unethical. “The board and county officials have rigged the system…with an aim to defraud the taxpayers to benefit themselves. Citizens should be outraged,” Arpaio says. Also serving as an expert witness in the matter for Sheriff Arpaio will be Joseph diGenova, former U.S. Attorney for the nation’s capitol. Thomas said today, “We demand our day in court so we can get to the bottom of things and defend the interests of justice and of the county taxpayers.”
Resonant of bygone days when fathers willow-switched some sense into their ornery young’uns ‘out behind the woodshed’, an outspoken member of the Arizona 2010 Project begins this series which applies the figurative rod to some politically spoiled ‘children’.
He’s a combination of Andy Rooney (without the nasal whine) and your 10th grade civics teacher, regretfully and ruthlessly applying the red grading pencil to his students’ performances and policies.
The current installment features a familiar political figure who gets a stern reminder of how gentlemen are expected to behave toward one another.
