The Stupid Party Does It Again: AZ Redistricting
« on: July 02, 2011, 12:19:18 AM »
This is beyond belief and too much to bear.

Found at Gateway Pundit:

Quote
Arizona’s Independent Redistricting Commission announced Wednesday that the bid for the mapping process of Arizona’s congressional and legislative districts had been awarded to Strategic Telemetry, a campaign consulting firm for left-wing candidates.

The company’s president, Ken Strasma, was President Obama’s national target director.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

What possible process could they have gone through to lead them to this conclusion?
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Sometimes I think they really are both the same party
It's amazing that the same state that gives us the illegal imm law and a few other great liberty preserving things can re-elect open borders Johnny and do all other kinds of stupid sh*t

The Libertarians have been saying that for decades.
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

It gets better.  From Instapundit:

UPDATE: Pima County GOP Establishment Backing Sherriff Dupnik over botched no-knock raid?
Quote
Pima County Republican Party leaders voted late Thursday to take away party chairman Brian Miller’s keys to the GOP headquarters and called a special meeting to try to remove him from his post.

Miller has been under fire from party stalwarts for the past month, with meetings called in recent weeks after he criticized a SWAT raid in May that resulted in the shooting death of a man law enforcement officers suspected of involvement in drug trafficking.

Several elected officials and party leaders have complained his comments pitted the party against law enforcement at a time when city elections are looming and candidates are gearing up for bigger 2012 races.

In other words, they value political alliances with government employees over the constitutional rights of constituents. Nice to hear them make that clear.

Response: “They asked for my resignation on grounds that it is the right thing to do for the party because… well, because they say so. I declined.”

Tucson Tea Partier Robert Mayer adds: “Pima GOP chairman Brian Miller, who leans libertarian as we do, criticized the raid. Now, the old guard GOP that makes up the executive committee has voted to take away his credit card, keys to the office, and forbids him to speak as chairman. They are planning a change to the county bylaws to allow for them to remove him from office. The president of the AZ police union also called up every Republican candidate and elected official in the state telling them ‘you’re f**ked’ if you don’t condemn Brian Miller.

Another reason why police unions shouldn’t be allowed, as if we needed one after their politicization in the Wisconsin fracas.

This makes sense since Strasma ( better read Smegma ) has formed an organization to investigate and smear key Republicans in congress during the 2012 elections . He's an extraordinarily vile individual .

Oversight.

Vetting.

Accountability.
