I was blown away when I learned that Randy Pullen had given money to his opponent who is now a Congressman.

It's actually quite impressive. Aside from all the outraged Republicans writing letters and calling, he is the only leader in Maricopa I know of who had the courage to confront the NRCC directly on their interference in the CD8 race. The facts do not support the speculation about his future conduct relative to Southern Arizona. Painting people with broad labels and accusations only hinders intelligent dialogue about the person/issues.AZAcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702924818232398832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821987.post-1169221731802168112007-01-19T08:48:00.000-07:002007-01-19T08:48:00.000-07:00I assume that you are the same anonymous in each c...I assume that you are the same anonymous in each case. I would suggest you go ahead and reread the article. What I stated was that there were general perceptions in the area, right or wrong, that need to be recognized and spoken about. Indeed, they WILL need to be addressed by the State chair. My biggest complaint is that of all the people supporting Lisa, especially from Tucson, no one sat her down and let her know what she was going to face. It diminished her message in my opinion, and could have just as easily been prepared for.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, your venom and anger do no favors for Lisa. For all the vociferous complaints about the attacks by Randy Pullen, I am seeing just an equal amount if not more attacks from those supporting Lisa James. Lisa has never been attacked on this site, and I am pretty sure she does not need nor want this type of support given in your comments. <BR/><BR/>As a party, we need to support the candidate that best supports our ideals, respect the other candidate, and stop carping like a damn bunch of Democrats.<BR/><BR/>No offense to my Democratic readers :)Framerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867927854445059711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821987.post-1169219206788738862007-01-19T08:06:00.000-07:002007-01-19T08:06:00.000-07:00You think Pima County would only get 'table scraps...You think Pima County would only get 'table scraps' if Lisa James is elected? Boy you have that backwards. If Randy Pullen wins, Maricopa County EGC will rule the roost along with the PAChyderm Coalition. Your dreaming if you think Pullen will give a rats ass about any area outside of Maricopa County...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28821987.post-1169189848822476842007-01-18T23:57:00.000-07:002007-01-18T23:57:00.000-07:00So let me see... she understands the make-up of th...So let me see... she understands the make-up of the different factions of the national organization, is as sound on platform issues as the other, realizes the need for financial superiority and has the means to affect such an outcome, sees the shortcomings of a top-heavy leadership style and the need for a grassroots-grow-your-own plan.....but didn’t exactly get the home cookin’ right? Some would say that is what we need in a STATE chairman.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what the reaction to Pullen would have been if his visit had been AFTER the discovery of his financial support for Harry Mitchell and Paul Johnson, both Dems in general elections against Republicans? That trumps it all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
