Great Article from the Arizona Capitol Times on the District 6 House Race!



Jim Small from the Arizona Capitol Times, one of the best Political Writers in Arizona, wrote a story last week called "
GOP leadership picking sides in north-Phoenix primary". Here are some excerpts:

'And it’s not hyperbolic to say that the race is one of the battles among the blocs within the party that will determine
its future, said Republican political consultant Stan Barnes.“I’m trying to remain optimistic, but I’m finding it hard to find a silver lining in a fight that is detrimental to the end goal,” said Barnes, who also is a former Republican legislator from Mesa.'

That has led to the county party throwing its weight behind
Seel, whom Barnes termed a “less-than-thoroughbred” candidate, given his poor showing in a 2004 bid for the Arizona Corporation Commission and a fourth-out-of-four finish two years ago for the same House seat he is now seeking.The Republican Party, unfortunately, is helping this phenomenon by infighting at a level heretofore unseen in recent politics, and to its own detriment,” Barnes said.

Seel, the assistant sergeant-at-arms for the Arizona Republican Party, is anything but bashful when it comes to explaining why Bouie isn’t really a Republican and why the county Republican Party opted to intervene in the race.“Bouie is ostensibly a Democrat,” he said.

Why? Because Bouie’s beliefs “are inconsistent with the platforms of the Republican Party,” Seel said. Those deviations, he said, are primarily embodied by Bouie’s opposition to Proposition 104, the Arizona Civil Rights Initiative,
and what Seel called Bouie’s allegiance to the “open-borders crowd” and his opposition to the state’s employer sanctions law.

Really Mr. Seel? I guess you will now have to call your "RUNNING MATE" SAM CRUMP the same. Seems that Crump received campaign contributions from the same "Open Borders Crowd" that Bouie did:

Remember, Carl said that Crump had a proven record, so it did not count in Sam's case. Whatever Carl. You're a real L-O-S-E-R!!!!!!
