Bitter Smith Needs to Embrace Conservative Principles and Endorse the Fair Tax

Susan Bitter Smith has tried to say that she’s a “real conservative” when it comes to the issue of taxes. We’ve said before that Bitter Smith isn’t a “real conservative” when it comes to many issues important to conservative voters, but Bitter Smith is banking on winning the Republican primary by playing to only fiscal conservatives.

Bitter Smith signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge not to raise taxes and was endorsed by conservatives Jean McGrath and Joe Arpaio. Bitter Smith needs to show that she is a real fiscal conservative by joining David Schweikert and endorsing the Fair Tax.

If she’s going to out-fiscal-conservative Schweikert who has been endorsed by the Club for Growth she will need to join Schweikert and embrace the fair tax.

Pro-earmark Jim Ogsbury is not a fiscal conservative. Like Susan, Laura Knaperek and State legislator Mark Anderson have an opportunity to make a name for themselves as conservatives who will stand up for principled economics.

C’mon, Susan, join David by rejecting the repressive income tax and endorse the Fair Tax.

Knaperek, Schweikert Ruining It for Bitter Smith

Last week, JD Hayworth broke the news on his radio show that the Democrat Party has been sending a spy to hunt down Laura Knaperek and David Schweikert. Video taping the opponent has become a trick of the trade for some time, but Laura and David – whose campaigns are struggling – used the opportunity to denounce video taping candidates and pledged that they won’t use video cameras to track down Harry Mitchell.

It was a big mistake that may be costly for the likely nominee… Susan Bitter Smith… who will do “whatever it takes” to win. The probably is that if Susan has anybody track Mitchell, she’ll be practicing that Knaperek and Schweikert have denounced as “dirty politics.”

Sean McCaffrey at State Party said he also thinks video taping opponents is sleazy.

While Bitter Smith is willing to cheat, lie, and steal to win this thing (which we support) Knaperek and Schweikert clearly don’t have what it takes. Do Jim Ogsbury and Mark Anderson?

Bitter Smith Shows Schweikert Who's Boss

We said it earlier, but nobody believed us: Susan Bitter Smith stands a good chance in this race because she will claw, fight and use any tactic -- no matter how severe -- to win.

Not only is Susan willing to make up stories to distract the media from her lobbyist career, she has signaled that she is going to criticize David Schweikert's LACK OF LOBBYING experience as a weakness that shows he can't be effective.

BRILLIANT!

If Bitter Smith has been able to do that in such a short period of time, Laura Knaperek and Mark Anderson ought to be scared too! Who knows, maybe Jim Ogsbury will make the case that you really have to be a Washington lobbyist to have real experience, but we doubt it.

Bitter Smith is taking it an extra step by trying to embrace Schweikert for his strengths -- strong, conservative principles. Despite her LIBERAL record, she told CQ this week that Schweikert's "stances did not drastically differently from hers on the major issues."

What was Schweikert's response? SILENCE. He's essentially going to allow her to claim to be a conservative without fighting back.

Bitter Smith may not be a real conservative like she claims, but she's certainly more of a man than Schweikert.

What Is Laura Knaperek Doing?

Of the six candidates running to defeat Harry Mitchell, former state legislator Laura Knaperek may have the most solid conservative credentials. Her candidacy inspires those looking for a strong anti-abortion activist to serve us in Congress. In fact, a recent poll indicated that she has a better shot to defeat Mitchell than David Schweikert.

The problem is that she’s not doing anything. While Jim Ogsbury has been phone banking, and having his creepy loyalists blog about it, Knaperek’s campaign has been silent. Get to work, Laura. We could use a conservative like you!

Schweikert Takes Aim, Fires at Susan Bitter Smith and Jim Ogsbury

It was great when David Schweikert, the candidate that refuses to answer questions, held a fundraiser affirming his belief in our right to bear arms.

Now we know who he's visualizing for target practice... opponents Susan Bitter Smith and Jim Ogsbury.

Ending what had so far been a civil campaign, Schweikert drew first blood by questioning the integrity of Bitter Smith and Ogsbury in a NATIONAL PUBLICATION.

Please Run J.D...As a Write-In

It may be too late for JD Hayworth’s name to appear on the CD-5 Republican primary ballot, but he has a few days left to sign up as a write-in candidate... And we’re confident that if he did so, JD would win the primary and go on to defeat Harry Mitchell in a bloody general election rematch.

In our search for a conservative candidate, only one name stands the test of time and rises above the liberal pasts of some of the candidates who are currently running to defeat Mitchell.

JD is the only person to stand up to Phil Gordon and the pro-amensty agenda. EVERY SINGLE CD-5 CANDIDATE HAS BEEN SILENT.

JD is the only person who will speak clearly on the issues against Harry Mitchell. DAVID SCHWEIKERT REFUSES TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE ISSUES.

JD is the only person who will call it like he sees it and will protest the Pelosi Congress expansion of socialized medicine, WHILE EVERY OTHER CANDIDATE REMAINS SILENT.

Please, JD, run. And if you don’t run, please encourage these candidates to follow your path and then endorse the one that you know will take our fight to Congress.

Attend an Ogsbury Phone Bank, Degrade Young Girls

As bloggers, we love to read blogs. This weekend we read someone else’s blog and learned that if we phone bank for Jim Ogsbury, not only will we get to meet a Republican candidate that donates his lobbyist money to baby killers, but that we’ll also get to meet a volunteer that’s a Star Wars nerd who claims an obsession for actress Keira Knightley, who looks 12 years old.

Yes, this blogger, let’s call him No Family Values Volunteer or NFVV for short even boasts of loving Disney movies on his profile. It's a male. Which could also mean that he supports 15-year-old Hannah Montana posing nude for some leftist magazine (Vanity Fair). That Hannah Montana show is geared toward young girls, but encourages them to have sex by showing the main character kiss boys and strike age-inappropriate poses, all of which have been since posted on the internet.

Are those “real conservative” values, which Ogsbury and his cohorts claim to uphold? No, but they are Ogsbury values.

We challenge Ogbsury to inject family values into his campaign and refuse to allow men who stalk young girls work for his campaign. If he doesn’t, he only proves he is the same as the anti-family liberal candidates he gives thousands of dollars to.

Stupid Crazy Liberal Bloggers

What stupid idiots! The liberals DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO IS RUNNING AGAINST HARRY MITCHELL!

Crazy liberal Dawn Teo, who says she lives in Jeff Flake’s district, is such an “expert” on Arizona politics that’s she’s writing for the left-wing baby killer Huffington Post. BUT SHE’S STUPID JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER LIBERAL!

When summing up the CD-5 race, Teo gets her facts as right as the Arizona Repugnant would... She doesn’t.

Here’s what she says:

CD-5. Rep. Harry Mitchell (D) won in the upset of the last election. Previous seat holder J.D. Hayworth (R) is expected to mount a serious challenge to regain this seat, but Mitchell is expected to prevail.

Teo is wrong twice. First of all, HARRY MITCHELL AND THE LIBERALS WILL NOT PREVAIL in CD-5. We will rise against them. And second, JD HAYWORTH ISN’T RUNNING AGAIN! For those who do not know, JD the Great is planning to run for Governor in 2010 — the House of Representatives is past him! Don’t get us wrong, we would love to have him back in Congress, but we know he couldn’t stand to be in the same room as Harry Mitchell’s friend Nancy Pelosi at the same time, and that he would make a great leader of our state.

Teo’s bio says she lives in Arizona. She might, but she is so out of touch with reality because she’s a liberal who probably just sits around with her liberal friends sipping each other’s Kool-Aid reading that left-wing rag the Repugnant.

He May Vote Early, But Not Often

We’ve been hearing a lot of buzz in conservative circles lately with people asking who is this Lee Gentry guy and what the heck is he doing running for Congress?

Well, we don’t know. But we do know that Gentry, who is certain to come in last place, did not cast a ballot in 2006. We also know that when a Republican doesn’t vote, they essentially support the Democrat. Which means the answer to the question who is Lee Gentry may be “the guy who voted Mitchell, J-No, and Pederson.”

Good Thing Hatch-Miller Dropped Out

Arizona Corporation Commissions Jeff Hatch-Miller and Kris Mayes have written a letter to Congress asking that legislators reject the free market by extending the liberal solar tax credits for companies like APS to build solar plants on the taxpayers’ back.

Hatch-Miller was a candidate for the CD-5 race, but dropped out. He probably realized that he in a deep field, he was one of the least conservative candidates, and that it would be unlikely he could win support.

Thankfully four of the five GOP candidates who are still running have voiced their opposition to the solar tax credits, choosing instead to leave energy investments where they belong: in the free market. The fact that Laura Knaperek, Susan Bitter Smith, Mark Anderson and Jim Ogsbury have embraced the free market on this important issue is a good sign for Republican primary voters.

We only wish David Schweikert had taken the opportunity to embrace the free market as well.

Pro-Earmark Congressman Endorses Pro-Earmark Ogsbury

A lot can be said about congressional candidate Jim Ogsbury. He's an unabashed moderate who donated hundreds of dollars to pro-abortion Democrats like Ed Pastor, Gabrielle Giffords, David Obey, Patty Murray and Elaine Richards. (He gave money to Giffords when she was running against Randy Graf.)

But perhaps nothing demonstrates more Ogsbury's lack of conservative credentials than his accepting an endorsement from Tucson Congressman Jim Kolbe. (Remember, the liberal left-wing Kolbe retired ONLY because he knew he could not escape a primary challenge from Graf.)

In Congress, Kolbe was the biggest pork barrel spender of them all. For all the good that John Shadegg, Jeff Flake, and John McCain tried to do on the earmark side, Kolbe would screw it up. Ask the people in Tucson about all of the pork barrel spending down there.

Well, Jim Ogsbury has embraced pork barrel spending. Laura Knaperek has not. She wants to get rid of it.

Mark Anderson wants to get rid of pork. All of it. David Schweikert says he's against it too, but he refuses to hold himself accountable to voters, so there is reason to question his commitment to conservatism.

Ogsbury's endorsement doesn't show that he can win, only that he's promising to uphold Kolbe's long standing record of thwarting conservatism.

Being ‘Bitter’ May Mean Sweet Victory

One thing is for sure about Susan Bitter Smith. She’s ready, and willing, to pick the kind of fight we will need to knock out a not-so-offensive character like Harry Mitchell. Some conservatives will balk at the former Scottsdale City Councilwoman’s reputation for practicing “gutter” politics.

The truth is though this is EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO BEAT MITCHELL AND THE LIBERALS WHO ARE DESTROYING AMERICA.

Earlier this year, Sonoran Alliance criticized Bitter Smith for what’s becoming a popular topic of conversation in conservative circles right now: the fact that Bitter Smith, in 2000, hired a private investigator to dig up information about one of her opponents. Bitter Smith had her campaign volunteer, David Schweikert, deliver the information to Tom Liddy. It was a big deal at the time, and the liberals went on the attack. The commie pinko cartoonist at the Arizona Repugnant Steve Benson used the episode to call Susan Bitter Smith “Susan Gutter Smith.”

We know that if Susan, wins, Mitchell’s people will cry foul and whine like liberal coddled babies about this episode. But in our opinion the “Gutter Smith episode” actually showed us how hard BITTER SMITH WILL CLAW, FIGHT, AND USE ANY TACTIC – NO MATTER HOW SEVERE – TO DEFEAT MITCHELL’S ANTI-FAMILY AGENDA. There is nothing that she won’t do to get elected, and that actually does our hearts proud.

Make no mistake we have serious problems with Susan Bitter Smith. She’s a pro-abortion Republican. We call those RINOs. But we like her style, and the fact that she’s been able to line up the support of conservative heroes like Jean McGrath. When it comes to her “gutter” politics, we say: you go, girl! Do whatever you can to defeat Mitchell this November.

Schweikert Accountable to Nobody

We had high hopes for former Maricopa County Treasurer David Schweikert. Able to write himself huge checks ($250,000) for his race for Congress, David was spotted by EspressoPundit filming TV commercials. But apparently he’s planning on running a pure advertising campaign because he denied voters the ability to hear from him when he refused to participate in a Q&A session with PolitickerAZ.com.

It is too bad that Schweikert thinks he can go through this race without answering questions while other candidates are doing their best to outline how they’d represent us as conservatives in Congress. Denying the voters an opportunity to hear is not very conservative. It's liberal, and reflects an arrogance that only Harry Mitchell and the Democrats would demonstrate.

Former State Representative Laura Knaperek, on the other hand, answered the survey’s questions with precision and depth, winning Round 1 of “who is the best conservative.”

We Need a True Conservative

A group of us have decided to start this blog to make sure that our party nominates a real conservative to take on liberal Democrat Harry Mitchell this November. The extreme-left has shamelessly continued its war on American families, our religious values and our Constitutional right to protect ourselves from dangerous criminals. They are promoting promiscuity to school-children, promoting the homosexual agenda, and putting America's national security at risk in their blatant disregard for the war on terror.

In times like these, we can't afford to nominate some RINO that is just going to cower to the liberals and vote against the American people.
