Since I first joined Arizona Tea Party and Greater Phoenix Tea Party networks, six months ago, I have found blogging to be both exhilarating and exhausting.  I’ve enjoyed it, been extremely upset and energized by what others post.  People can be as anonymous or open as they choose, for a variety of reasons.  Most often it is to protect their privacy from those who would use deign to harm them.  However, most everyone who are members those two Tea Party sites, and others, plus anyone following the US Senate race on these sites are familiar with many Jim Deakin supporters; and most certainly are well aware of one JPD.  I became aware of his blogs shortly after JD Hayworth entered the race four months ago, when this person began accusing Hayworth of being nothing like a “Consistent Conservative”.  JPD has called JD a “progressive”, “porker”, “earmark lover” among many other claims.  He has misrepresented votes on bills as something they are not, being a very active member of Jim Deakin’s campaign though probably not in an official capacity.  That is simply to provide cover for this nameless, faceless attack dog for Jim Deakin, who indeed loves this ‘cover of darkness.

I have to thank JPD for these accusations though; it made me dig into JD’s congressional record to research his votes.  What I found out by reviewing American Conservative Union, National Journal and “Ontheissues.org” among others was that NOTHING could be further from the truth!  JD’s record of supporting tax cuts, border enforcement and other key issues were so fundamentally solid that one rating service went so far as to describe JD as a “Hard Core Conservative”!

So, I do understand why JPD chose to misrepresent JD’s record, HE supports Jim Deakin and when JD Hayworth entered the race, whatever support Deakin envisioned would come from the conservative camp dried up like a lonely poppy plant in the scorching Mojave Desert.  This is exactly why Chris Simcox exited the race and supported JD.  Yet Jim Deakin had no intention of leaving the race, and very much needed whatever exposure occurred from the blogosphere.  However, JPD was certainly NOT justified in his misleading, lying and distortion-filled attacks on JD’s record.  He simply lied on behalf of Jim Deakin and that is unacceptable!

What always troubled me about JPD’s attacks, were that he did NOT simply focus on JD Hayworth’s record.  He began attacking JD’s supporters and especially me since my posts early on were disproving JPD’s and other supporters of Jim Deakin to be blatantly false!  Yes, JD voted for “No Child Left Behind” and the “Patriot Act”; and well meaning patriots can disagree without being disagreeable about their constitutionality.  But more than that, JPD and other like-minded supporters began making personal attacks, questioning my integrity, and calling me names. They were also getting control of groups like ICaucus and the Arizona group of Resistnet, then banning me for trumped up reasons.  I was even viciously attacked by a LD3 candidate who strongly supported Jim Deakin for a perceived attempt to derail his campaign!  In that case NOTHING could be further from the truth!  Ultimately due to his false claims I researched his records and found out that he was NOT qualified to run in the LD3 GOP legislative race and he had to withdraw.  I don’t know, but it’s even possible that he could be prosecuted for filing a false affidavit with the State of Arizona.

When I began blogging, I had chosen to be anonymous, using the name “Radical American Patriot”. Shortly after, I decided that I was willing to stand behind my words, and began using my real name and my picture.  I must confess that I was really ‘hacked’ that JPD would make his sneak attacks and run back and hide in his hovel, smirking about how he got someone good!  Now what I say next is really despicable.  JPD was being fed information from either Les White or Kelly Townsend of Greater Phoenix Tea Party website about me and their site!  He recently posted a comment on some website, stating that Suzanne and I had been reinstated.  What? I had NOT received notice to that effect, so HOW did JPD know other than Les or Kelly told him?  Further, somehow they found out information on an unaffiliated Tea Party in Phoenix and ALSO revealed private information about this Tea Party to JPD! In my opinion these two, as well as JPD are thoroughly discredited by their actions.  It truly bothers me when people make vicious personal attacks from their anonymity. So I decided to do some research into JPD, and HERE IS WHAT I FOUND!

JPD is none other than Joseph Peter Danielek, residing in Avondale, Arizona.  He has a son named S***** (I will not reveal his name, he is not involved, unless he’s using an alias as well.). His wife, Carlene recently joined ICAUCUS, under the name “Carlene D”.  I even believe that she has joined in the past two or three days again, under simply “Carlene”. Joseph Peter recently stated that he is 54 years old and that is correct.  To his credit a friend of mine who had spoken with him at the Bullhead City Tea Party, thought he looked much younger.  Unfortunately, she said he looked “unkempt”, like he could be someone who sat in his mother’s basement all day in his underwear, blogging, hacking and whatever computer geeks do all day, besides making money!  Oh well, there’s much more research I could do to find out if he owns his home, works for someone, etc.  My point simply is to inform people about two matters.  JUST WHO is Jim Deakin’s greatest promoter, propagandist and prevaricator; and ALSO you can’t trust the Greater Phoenix Tea Party website with ANY personal information!  Be careful about joining that site, because, IF they will ‘provide’ personal information when such actions suits them.

So, from now one, when you see JPD on any post, you’ll know who he is and why he makes the claims he does.  I suspect that he will disappear into the woodwork, just like Jim Deakin plans to do after this election.  Neither of them will have any future in the Republican Party here in Arizona, maybe with the Green Party, or any party supporting Jon Lovitz!  But neither of them has any future here on any political level.  They will have to ask themselves, was it really worth it all, becoming pariahs in the political community JUST to get John McCain re-elected?
