“Constitutional Conservative” RINO David Fitzgerald, a Republican candidate for the Arizona House in Legislative District 6, proclaims himself a “Constitutional Conservative” but this suppose constitutional conservative gave $250.00 to Hillary Clinton in 2005. Don’t believe me? This link has the gory details and also raises some interesting questions if David has been truthful about his support for Hillary Clinton.
Personally, I don’t know any other “constitutional conservatives” who are also donors to Hilary Clinton. I wonder which of Hillary Clinton’s positions motivated David to contribute? Could it have been her support of abortion-on-demand? Her support for raising taxes? Her support for cap and trade? Her support for a single government payer health care system? Maybe, it was just her general loathing for the Constitution and free-markets that inspired David to make his first ever reported political donation.
The term RINO is used on this site regularly to label Republican that don’t hold true to the conservative principle on all issues. I can’t think of an act that earns you the title RINO better than supporting and giving your hard earned dollars to Hillary Clinton (well, maybe giving to Obama would worse but that is debatable).
Updated 08/21: link fixed.
HA HA. The John McAmnesty writers are back.
Fitzgerald freely admits that like thousands of Arizona Tea Partiers, he didn’t start paying close attention to politics until the McCain/Obama race. Since then Fitzgerald has been a staunch supporter and tireless worker for the conservative cause. Fitzgerald most definitely is a constitutional conservative who has garnered the support of LD6 conservative political activists.
This article writer (can’t really call him an author) is obviously in the tank for “12 in 10″ candidate and David Braswell’s fellow liberal legislator, Amanda Reeve.
The conservatives are with you as strong as ever David Fitzgerald. Glad you are in our tent and enjoy that victory Tuesday!
I love the hypocrisy of the comment above. He is quick to brush off his candidate’s liberal past but other candidates like Carl Seel and Amanda Reeve, who in 2005 were supporting Republican’s don’t get a the same pass.
The LD6 voter rejected Tony Bouie in 2008 because he was a democrat who became a Republican because he wanted to run for office. I hope LD6 voters in 2010 do the same thing and reject Republican-come-lately David Fitzgerald and elect Carl Seel and Amanda Reeve who have spent their whole adult live working to elect conservative Republican candidates.
I never saw Amanda Reeves much before her appointment, but Seel has been working hard for the cause for a long time, so that part is true. As for Fitzgerald, if you had attended the district meeting, you could have heard him explain it quite well. And since he has gotten politically active, his record is way right. Ron Paul, Prop 13, Stop Photo Radar, etc. Trying to convince voters that Fitzgerald is a RINO is absolutely laughable. I guess the real RINOs up there must be getting nervous.
David Fitzgerald was a tireless worker for Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaign and is ENDORSED by Ron Paul. Sorry, but a little chump change for Hitlery “Her Thighness” Klinton is WAY outweighed by his work for and endorsement by Ron Paul. Absolutely no candidate is without blemishes.
The Board of Stupidvisors required 4 things from every candidate they chose to replace resigning legislators. IIRC, a couple of those items were support for Prop. 100, Juan McAmnesty, and tax & spend Brewer. Again, Amanda was appointed by the Stupidvisors. Kunasek had the most pull since LD 6 is in his district. Kunasek came to LD 7 and excoriates Andy Thomas, Arpaio and Prop. 13.
So, which is worse? $250 for Klinton and work for and an endorsement by Ron Paul, or being chosen by a corrupt, liberal Board of Stupidvisors, and support for Prop. 100, tax & spend Brewer and Juan McAmnesty? If I were in LD 6, I’d be sticking with Fitzgerald.
Articles like this is why I only come to Sonoran Alliance every few weeks now, whereas I used to read SA every morning. I did not listen to the Air America because I did not want to hear the left wing McCain crap.
I will not be back here for awhile again and I hope Shane takes control of the rudder of this ship again soon. Until then, I will go to SeeingRed, Gila Courier, Growing Our Party or other conservative blogs.
This was a rumor spread by ueber-RINO and McCainiac-galore, not to mention nudist colony-owning

Horst Kraus.
WEGTRETEN! (Dismissed)
We all vote for a Democrat at least once in our life. We eventually realize what a stupid mistake we made – Napolitano for example.
Hmmm. Nothing happened when I clicked on the gory detail link.
Mister Oberseve,
We do not spread rumors. This one is real. You have to look at Schedule A (FEC Form3)File # 25020440584.
On Page 584 of 2322 you will find the un-mistaken listing of a $250.00 donation to Friends of Hillary Rodham Clinton made by David Fitzgerald III, a Real Estate Broker, from his home 4530 W. Misty Willow Lane in Glendale, AZ. 85310-9901.
He has since moved to another home.
If his support for Hillary Clinton is not a big deal, why did he lie about his contribution when asked about it at a recent LD6 GOP meeting?
David Fitzgerald has been working hard on Prop 13 Arizona and is a member of our 2012 campaign team. He is a solid conservative and a good man.
The North Phoenix Tea Party voted to support David Fitzgerald.
Those who are using an insignificant donation from years ago as a means to harm a candidate are teaching everyone never to make campaign donations.
Another, the question was asked in the context of “current candidates for office.” What did you expect Fitzgerald to do? Pull out his checkbook register and research an answer from five years ago? Get real.
David Braswell and Amanda Reeve both had to endorse the Brewer tax increase to receive the BOS appointment.
Lori Klein is the principled conservative and therefore will win Tuesday. LD6 voters are not so easily fooled.
Facts are terrible things.
In LD 6 Lori Klein was convicted for drunk driving and she did contribute to the pro-abortion WISH LIST.
Carl Seel did nothing as a legislatore but take up space and write bad checks to payday lenders and his lawyer.
David Fitzgerald did make a campaign contribution to Hillary Clinton for $250.
The funny thing is that all three are running as a slate.
And Yes, David Fitzgerald did lie to the PC of district 6 about the contribution to Clinton; first saying he never made any such contribution then saying his wife made it and then saying he made it for a client.
Lori Klein did lie about the contribution to the pro-abortion WISH LIST at first saying she tought it was the Make A Wish Foundation and then she said she made it for a friend.
But let the fools keep supporting Klein, Seel and, Fitzgerald, they will learn one day becasue you can’t fool all the people all of the time.
PAChyderm Coalition endorses Lori Klein, Carl Seel and David Fitzgerald against big government McCain camp RINOs David Braswell, Amanda Reeve and Steve Kaiser.
I already learned all I need to know about Horst Kraus on Sonoran Alliance.
http://sonoranalliance.com/2007/01/24/trouble-in-paradise/#comments
“…..Horst Kraus testified on behalf of a previously convicted child molester in a case involving a young boy at his nudist camp during a trial in October 2000. As a witness for the defense, Kraus testified to the good character of the defendant and the “untruthfulness” of the victim. The defendant, Owen Thompson, is now serving two life sentences for dangerous crimes against children at Shangri-La Ranch.
David Braswell, Amanda Reeve and Steve Kaiser are only too glad to have support and dollars from Horst Kraus.
The original Post is correct and right on target.
Some of the posts are like putting oil on the water to calm the waves.
Trouble is it does not work.
A lie is a lie. Period.
For Moon Valley Hippy, who do you think you are? You haven’t seen Amanda? Were you born yesterday? Amanda Reeve was the LD-6 Chair for “Re-elect Bush Cheney” and she got an honorable mention by the Chairman for it.
Where were You?
Red Bull, If I had ever given money to a liberal I would remember it. Your excuse about pulling out a checkbook is weak.
This guy has reneged on more mortgages to the M&I bank than what he ever gave to real Republicans. He is a master on creating “Troubled Assets” the sort that you and I and our Kids will bail out with T.A.R.P.
He will simply blame that on the Government. Get It?
Mr. K, maybe you should let Victoria know who it was that called the police and had the child molister arrested. You Tea Party people have alot to learn about politics. Poeple will use you and lie to you, the truth is that Lori Klein and David Fitzgerald are not even real Republicans, they are Libertarians apposed to gov’t interference in abortion, same sex marriage, drug use, or prostitution. But they can’t get elected on those issue’s or as Libertarians so they put on a GOP coat and run as Republicans and say or do whatever it takes to get elelcted, even lie to the voters.
Carl Seel may not be the smartest member of the legislature but atleast he is a Republican, unlike Klein and Fitzgerald who lie and lie some more.
All of us tend to be “works in progress” especially regarding social issues. I know many solid pro-lifers who were once pro-aborts
And frankly, when it comes to economic and government intervention areas, Libertarians are far more conservative than the average Republican, especially the liberalized “McCainiacs”
So this conservative will be happy to cut some slack for Fitzgerald and Klein. I also notice that Seel’s voting record in the legislature is exemplary!
Perhaps that’s why this list’s RINOs abhore him!
Hey LD 6, is this the best you can come up with, a candidate for state rep who gives money to the Clinton’s and a state senator candidate who is a convicted drunk driver and pro-abortion?
Who are the Democrats putting up, a pro-life candidate who gives money to the RNC?
Lori Klein, Carl Seel and David Fitzgerald are the dependable conservatives in the race. That is really what you can’t stand about them. You are really much more worried about their future than you are about their past.
You would rather elect liberals like Braswell and 12 in 10 Reeve. You can depend on them to vote for higher taxes and bigger govt. So, you try to assinate the character of the conservative candidates. I don’t think it is going to work.
Tex you got to be kidding. If Klein, Seel and Fitzgerald are the dependable conservatives in that race, who are the undependable?
It looks to me like the village idiot is running on a slate with the town drunk and a Democrat.
Lol @ Horst Kraus #16.
You give money to liberals all the time – RINOs that you support.
Did David lie? Can you prove that? Because he said he just didn’t even remember that he made the donation.
That in fact the “donation” was the purchase of a ticket a client of his asked him to purchase that David never even attended.
Didn’t David tell you that? I think he did!
But you started this rumor and you are DELIBERATELY attempting to deceive people by not revealing all the facts.
That’s called lying! In fact, you are the liar.
But what can one expect from a RINO.
Wieder nochmal – WEGTRETEN! (DIS-missed!)
Oberserve,
How ridiculous do you want to get with the spin?
David never gave Hillary Clinton 250 dollars, he only gave her a check for 250 dollars.
Oh Yeah?
The typical Clinton excuse: “I never had sex with that woman; it was she who had sex with me”.
When Fitz was asked: Did you ever give money to a Democrat?
He answered resoundingly “NO!”
He did not say “I don’t remember”
Now you come with another spin. “He only bought a ticket but he never attended”
What did he think the ticket was for? The premier for a new flick HILLARY DOES HOUSTON ? Eh?
Take note I do not start rumors, I deal in facts. Just pull up the F.E.C. report form.
One more advice, use the accusatory term RINO sparingly; it identifies you as a member of a renowned club for perpetual under-performers, bankrupts and foreclosure jockeys, check bouncers and deadbeats.
We’re still talking about the same Horst Kraus?
http://sonoranalliance.com/2007/01/24/trouble-in-paradise/
Testifying to the good character of a PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED child mollestor?
Tex,
Yes we do and if you rerun the smear a 1000 more times, it will not make Fitz’s donation to Hillary Rodhan Clinton, a Democrat go away.
It will only make me repeat my statement that I was called into court to testify under oath and answer questions asked of me.
I had no reason to protect a child molester, after all I am not a Cardinal, a Bishop or a Preacher and our park is not a church. I was the Landlord of the defendant and I was the person who called the sheriff initially.
Voluntarily: Kraus testified to the good character of the defendant and the “untruthfulness” of the victim.
Those who are calling Lori Klein and David Fitzgerald pro-abortion are wrong, they are pro-choice, which is different from being pro-abortion. As Libertarians they leave the question of abortion to each person for their conscientious consideration.
Dave Braswell, Amanda Reeve and Kaiser are all statist who would give the power to the state to take away a woman’s right to an abortion.
Braswell is the worst, not only is he an advocate for government schools, he had his children educated with your money.
Vote for Klein, Seel, and Fitzgerald for LD 6.
@Tex,
What sort of a spin do you wish to attach to the sordid story of a NAMBLA incident?
Do you want me to be responsible for every ill in the State of Arizona?
Let me repeat what I stated on another post on this “CONSERVATIVE” BLOG:
I am not a preacher or a minister or a bishop or a cardinal in a christian church and I do not have anything to gain from sweeping any illicit sexual activity under the rug.
I have not now nor did I ever have an interest in the outcome of a criminal trial that has no affect on me except that I was an innocent, uninvolved, non-participating third party bystander.
I repeat what I said before, I was called before a court by an officer of such court to give testimony for the benefit of the court and under oath I did just that.
My appearance at that trial was the only hook that the whack-a-doodles could find to spin a negative yarn to discredit me.
Their objective was to take control of L.D-6 for the furtherance of Dean Martin’s political career.
They succeeded albeit for only two years. They have been coasting ever since.
#28 Nelson, WRONG. Klein and Fitzgerald are solid Platform Republicans. I questioned them both extensively on this. They both pledge to defend all innocent life.
If you doubt that go to their District 6 meeting and ask them yourself. Meeting details at MaricopaGOP.org
