Random Observations from
the 2014 Campaign Trail
The myth
that conservatives who want increased immigration enforcement are just anti-Hispanic
has now been proved a lie. Indeed, the
#1 target for deportation in the United States today isn’t Mexican, but
Canadian: Justin Bieber!
That
said, anyone wanting to contact their congressman to voice their opinion on the
new Ryan Amnesty Act of 2014 can call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202)
224-3121. Actually, you can use this
number to call Congress on any issue, not just immigration.
This
year’s Republican response to the State of the Union Address was, once again,
HORRIBLE.
And
don’t give me this crud about how tough it is for anyone to follow POTUS after
his SOTU. The GOP needs to stop
delivering boring, uninspiring, cookie-cutter, inside-the-beltway speeches
prepared by “professional” speechwriters and instead try talking like, you
know, real people.
Democrats
in Nevada have had a field day with the announcement that former liberal
lieutenant governor Sue Wagner left the Republican Party because, she says, it’s
shifted too far to the right.
Two
things: First, Sue Wagner hasn’t been an active Nevada Republican for over 20
years. Secondly, Wagner is so liberal
she makes Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R-Partners) look like a Bircher.
Her
departure from the GOP is neither meaningful nor a big loss.
While
bending over backwards to raise a bundle of cash for R&R Partners’
hand-picked lieutenant governor candidate, “Moderate Mark” Hutchison, word on
the street is that Gov. Brian Sandoval (R&R Partners) has barely lifted a
finger for GOP attorney general candidate Adam Laxalt, who is running against
R&R Partners’ anointed candidate in that race, Democrat Secretary of State
Ross Miller.
Democrat
congressional candidate Erin Bilbray’s gang-that-couldn’t-shoot-straight
campaign recently lost her highly-regarded campaign manager, Bradley Mayer, and
replaced him with a liberal abortion rights activist with no experience as a
campaign manager and whose main claim to fame is working on a past Nancy Pelosi
campaign.
I
still think the Democrats’ problem isn’t the wrong campaign manager in this
race, but the wrong candidate.
Conservative
Assemblyman Ira Hansen (R-Washoe) says government bureaucrats from the Nevada
Department of Wildlife have a vendetta against him which is behind its “filing
of four misdemeanor counts of unlawfully setting traps.” And when you look at the actual law, it’s
hard to argue his point.
It’s
also another reminder: The more money you give government, the more harassment
of this sort the government is able to rain upon us citizens.
Since
the Legislature has refused to act, conservative activist Sharron Angle has
filed a ballot initiative that, if approved, would require everyone to show a
photo ID before voting, just like the
photo ID you have to show before boarding a plane or cashing a check. Makes sense.
Just do it.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Gov.
Brian Sandoval has made no secret of his anti-tax stance. At least when he’s not extending sunset taxes
or signing off on allowing local governments to raise taxes.” – Las Vegas
Review-Journal columnist Steve Sebelius

Attention: Conservative Grassroots Activists
Whether you’re “just” an individual citizen who would like to do “something” to help elect better people to office but don’t know what to do or where to begin… Or you’re a precinct captain or district coordinator who isn’t being given very good information on exactly what to do or how to do it to be effective in running a volunteer grassroots operation or where to begin… Or you’re a candidate or campaign manager or other staffer who knows you need a “ground game” but have never put an effective one together – the key word here being “effective” – and don’t know what to do or where to begin… Begin right here by clicking this link |
