We know this seems unsubstantiated, but this information comes from a good source. Remember that LoftyDonkey was correct in breaking the Renzi investigation last year.

A lot of the rich and powerful in DC are scared that their “shopping” habits with DC Madame Jeane Palfrey may be exposed. We have recieved a reliable tip that conservative icon Grover Norquist is on that list.

The point of this video is to expose the ridiculousness of the current rampant anti-Mexican sentiment. Yes, it's not politically correct. I specifically made it that way to provoke this kind of conversation.

It seems like ages ago when we at Lofty Donkey broke the story about Charlton’s investigation of Rick Renzi’s shady land-swap deals and other things. Actually it was just last October, but so many things have happened since then that makes it seem like forever.

Arizona US Attorney Paul Charlton, who was investigating Rick Renzi, was among 8 attorneys fired in a Department of Justice purge authorized by the White House. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the DOJ claimed that the attorneys were removed because of “performance reasons.” However, the story did not end there when people realized that the US attorneys that were targeted for “pushing out” were investigating Republican Congressman for corruption throughout the country.

PHOENIX, March 2, 2007—As big Republican donors gathered at the Phoenix Convention Center to launch Senator John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, some of his constituents gathered to call attention to his record of contradictory statements.

The Arizona Democratic Party has just sent out a press release about Renzi investigator Paul Charlton being fired. The press release is below and our commentary is below the release.

[Entry below the fold]

Stacy at AZCongresswatch reports on Rick Renzi's statement that his gloves are off now that the blogosphere has outed his shady dealings to make daddy rich.

Well guess what Ricky? Our gloves are off too!

You sit there and try to make this campaign about Ellen Simon's husband while trying to keep your abuse of your office to benefit your father under wraps.

You disgust us Rick. The fact that you are a "representative" is a blatant embarassment.

A representative fights for the best interests of the people (s)he represents, and you only fight for the interests of your friends and family.

(MORE BENEATH FOLD)

Remember that Phoenix New Times article about the land deal that Rick Renzi was involved in?

Well we have learned that Renzi was wiretapped presumably by the FBI soliciting a bribe in exchange for introducing a bill for a landswap in Cochise County.

An AP reporter discovered that Renzi may be indicted for income tax fraud and a related charge to the bribery.

Renzi has been interviewed by the FBI.

The U.S. Attorney for Arizona Paul Charlton has decided not to indict Renzi until after the election. The prosecutor assigned to the case is Howard Sukenic. He along with the spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys office is refusing to comment.

The investigation has been concluded, they succeeded in getting a federal grand jury to indict him but are sitting on the indictment until after the election in order to keep the seat in Republican control.

There really is a Culture of Corruption, and it is making its way to the Judicial branch.

Ok...so this is photoshopped. That isn't actually Randy Graf in the robe, but you get the point...

The values of Graf and the KKK correspond enough for David Duke to go out of his way to endorse him on his website.

These aren't the values of Southern Arizona, and it would be terrible if such a reasonable Congressman as Jim Kolbe (who will not endorse Graf) is to be followed by this man.

The Arizona Democratic Party has asked Graf to demand that David Duke take him off his site, but Graf has no plans to do so.

AZ-08 is considered one of the best Dem pickups in the country. Graf is facing an excellent Democratic candidate in  Gabrielle Giffords

I was just emailed this link to a Youtube video about JD Hayworth and his ties to Abramoff. I thought it was fitting to post it seeing that Hayworth has been trying to accuse his opponent, Harry Mitchell, of being unethical. This should show that Hayworth does not get the luxury of having the ethical high ground.

Cross-posted to www.loftydonkey.com

This graphic is from the New York Times and appeared after Rep. Bob Ney announced that he would not run for re-election because of his ties to Jack Abramoff.

Let's look at the order of Abramoff allies for a minute:

First, we have Tom Delay. As we know Delay had to resign and not seek re-election.

Second is Bob Ney, who, as previously mentioned, is not seeking re-election because of his ties to Abramoff.

Third is, JD HAYWORTH. The same JD Hayworth that spouts shaky stories about his ethics. The same JD Hayworth that attacks Democratic challenger and former Tempe Mayor Harry Mitchell on ethics: Mitchell being a man so loved and honored in Tempe that the City Council Building, a restaurant, a park, and a neighborhood are named after him, not to mention the statue the city erected of him. [More below fold]

One of my readers sent this video to me and I found it amusing.

Look at what has happened to Abramoff, Ney, Delay, etc. Now how is JD Hayworth still avoiding any consequences for doing the same things that they did.

Hayworth is one of the leading recipients of Abramoff money, watches as his buddies end up indicted and forced out of office, and then acts like there is nothing wrong.

Someone needs to make sure that Hayworth shares the fate of Ney, Delay, and Abramoff: Arizona deserves better.

Both Mel Gibson and JD Hayworth have been getting criticism for their insensitivity to the Jewish community lately. However, Mel Gibson has strongly apologized for his, yet JD hasn't apologized at all. In fact, he actually further attacked the Jewish press for have poor ethics and for supporting Harry Mitchell.

With your worldview, JD, are you surprised they don't support you?

Read full article...

In JD Hayworth's "Whatever it Takes," he talks about his love of Henry Ford and his philosophy of Americanization. What he doesn't mention is that Henry Ford's vision of Americanization was extremely anti-Semitic. Not only were his views anti-Semitic, but he was considered by many to be a traitor to the Allies in World War II for supplying war equipment to Germany. His efforts were so appreciated by Hitler that his regime awarded him with the Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle, the highest honor for a non-German citizen. Ford was the first American and the fourth person in the world to receive the award.

I know what you are thinking. There is no way. He could not have gone back in time to make floor speeches during the course of American history.

Well to the naysayers, I give you photographic evidence:

The story is based on Jon Kyl's submission of falsified floor debate into the Congressional Record in an attempt to mislead the United States Supreme Court as to the legislative intent of Congress in regards to a Guantanamo Bay case.
