More Arizona Political Things Again, Part Seventeen

Dear Readers,

Did you hear that Sarah Palin endorsed Dr. Paul Gosar for Representative of AZ CD 1? What's up with that? Why does Palin feel compelled to descend from her snow-throne in Wasilla to get involved in such a small Arizona race? And why did she pick Gosar? Why not Beauchamp?

I saw Bradley Beauchamp speak at a tea party rally on July 4th 2009 in Flagstaff, and I really liked him. And I endorse him!

But then Dr. Paul Gosar seems cool too. But then there's this Rusty Bowers, guy, too... hmm... Oh, and let's not forget Sydney Hay!

Ha ha ha, Sydney Hay. She's ran a few times before, I think. Well, I know she ran for Representative in 2008, and she won the Republican nomination, but she was beaten by the Democratic incumbent Ann Kirkpatrick.

But Sydney Hay... ha ha ha. She's so funny! I like the way she talks and writes and stuff. She's just a good old country gal. Check out this entertaining blog post she wrote about her campaign:

July 6th, 2010

It is a joy to campaign in the most beautiful (and nearly the biggest) Congressional district in America and it can be yummy, too! ...

We have invited voters and ended up with friends while sharing: cheese crisps at Rosa's Cantina in Williams, rootbeer floats on the porch in Prescott and at the park in Prescott Valley, pineapple upside-down cake at Coffee Mania in Show Low, cinnamon rolls at Crosswinds Restaurant in Payson, breakfast burritos at Joe and Aggies in Holbrook, tacos at Morenci Motel, bagels at the Manor House in Safford, breakfast at Mary's Cafe in Flagstaff, muffins at Jerona Java in Cottonwood and at CJ Diner in Cordes Junction, enchilada specials at La Casita in Globe and Casa Blanca Cafe in Winslow, and doughnuts in Camp Verde and at Java Chuckwagon in Chino Valley to name just some of the events we have had.

So, the only question is: Will I be able to zip up my jeans when the campaign is over ?!?!

Ha ha ha... Sydney Hay. She helps make America great!

I first saw Sydney Hay at a rodeo at the Coconino County Fairgrounds in Flagstaff, Arizona. She came out in wearing an adorable getup consisting of Wrangler mom-jeans, a pink country-fied blouse, and a gigantic white cowboy hat. And she said endearing stuff like, “We gotta defend our cowboy way of life, ya’ll! I just want to tell ya to keep those pick-up truck engines a-revvin' and keep those lassos a twirlin' 'cause we are gonna take this country back!”

Hay, Gosar, Beauchamp, and Bowers... all of them talk wonderfully about defending the Constitution and limiting government and securing the border, and blah blah blah... I think the race for Representative in CD 1 is a little more confusing than the race here in CD 6. Jeff Smith is the clear Constitutional conservative to vote for here. And down in the Sahuarita and Green Valley area I think Jesse Kelley is the best conservative candidate.

So... my advice is to ignore the Sarah Palin endorsement of Gosar. Remember that Sarah Palin also endorsed Carly Fiorinia, creator of the demon sheep ad, instead of Chuck DeVore.

Listen, I like Sarah Palin a lot. I think she's wonderful. To be honest, most of the tea-party guys I know have a celebrity crush on her. But I think Sarah Palin will better serve her country as a celebrity than as a politician. I think she should keep going on talk shows, and keep writing memoirs, kind of like Obama does, but I don't want to see her run for President in 2012.

Vote Bradley Beauchamp!

and Jeff Smith!

and Jesse Kelly!

and JD Hayworth!

and other conservative people!

Sincerely,
