“Ann Kirkpatrick? Ron Barber? Raul Grijalva? Ed Pastor? Kyrsten Sinema? What do you think about the IRS harassment, Benghazi lies, and AP spying? He’s your President, not mine. You have been awfully quiet lately.”

“Now let me get this straight, the not to be trusted IRS is in charge of Obamacare. So if you are a Democrat you get health care as fabulous as you might expect from any government entity, but if you are a Republican they stall and put you on the slow track to the marble orchard!”

“For the life of me I can’t figure out why politicians take social service network groups seeking tax exemption so personal. You would think someone was trying to get in their pockets. I hope that a congressional hearing would include a few hungry and homeless people after all they are the ones targeted by the IRS and the ones these groups were created for. Right?”

“No one in Obama administration knows anything. That’s what happens when you only watch MSNBC. Since Obama took office, the Democratic Party has lost nine governorships, 56 Congressional members and two Senate seats. Change I can believe in.”

“Why do people who hate Mexican’s choose to live in a state that borders Mexico?”

“I have NEVER seen such poor behavior from a sports team as Highland High Boys Volleyball in the State Playoffs. The coaches, team, students and parents were absolutely rude and disgusting. It isn’t just about winning it’s about sportsmanship.”

“Our country is faced with enormous problems which can be remedied if congress would just do their job. Is that happening? No. What is our inept and ineffective congress doing? Nothing, except wasting their time on frivolous items like repealing Obamacare for what, the 38th time, or is it 39? I lost count. Then there is the pursuit of old scandals like a ninth hearing on Benghazi. I hate to think about how much time and effort will be expended on the IRS scandal. I will give our WORTHLESS congress credit for one thing. They sure know how to generate face time on camera.”

“Is the SRP monopoly spending thousands of advertising dollars (consumer electrical power payments) to promote SRP or to promote Mayor Scott Smith’s run for governor?”

“I think it’s an incredible coincidence that every time I read the Letters to the Editor it always seems to be someone writing in to complain about the ‘radical’ (Gilbert) council members and school board members. Just a coincidence? I personally am glad this conservative community is pushing back against this out of control federal government. If you have a problem with it move to a more progressive community. We moved here because we believe in freedom.”

“The character of an administration typically reflects the character of it leader. So far Obama is stacking up as more Nixon than Carter.”

“The IRS targeting conservatives, that’s almost as discusting as conservatives targeting minorities and the elderly with voter fraud laws. I guess the old saying what goes around comes around. I’ll bet no conservatives had to stand in line hours for an audit.”

“Yes, some heads should definitely roll at the IRS and the Justice Department, no question. However, to call your non-profit organization non-political and use the terms ‘Tea Party’ in the name of it is just begging for scrutiny. Many groups are abusing the non-profit tax rules.”

“The headline reads 18 shows cancelled in 48 hours. It’s hard to believe these shows were so bad that nobody was watching them. Everyone was probably watching the Jodi Arias trial instead.”

“I think John McCain has beat Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game record with his Sunday talk show appearances. I don’t know why he doesn’t have his own show called Benghazi up close and personal, he certainly has the time for it.”

“Out of respect for the victims, I refuse to name, watch or listen to the accused, while the victim is six feet under, robbed of their precious lives! I began this promise, to victims, starting in 1995. I blackout all media that creates a rating circus, totally disrespecting the dead... sickening!”

“The best way to boost public television’s ratings is for the viewer to turn on the TV And hear... ‘And now we bring you team coverage of the Jodi Arias...’ ”

“The Cleveland kidnapper shouldn’t be judged too harshly. He hasn’t been any worse for women’s rights than Republican legislatures in red states. I’ll bet if he had the equipment he would have done unwanted ultrasound probes. The pregnancies were not automatically shut down making them legitimate and God’s will.”

“Infringing on the availability of ammunition by definition infringes on the right to bear arms. Without ammunition the arms are nothing more than useless chunks of steel. To argue otherwise is sophomoric and inane.”

“Along with being tried for shoplifting, will Judge Markel (Mark) Chiles be tried for attempted bribery by asking a police officer, ‘Will $1,000 make this go away?’ Just wondering.”
