Arizona: Joe Biden

Posted by :

Arizona's twin embarrassments, Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain, just can't stop lying about Arizona's tax burden and the federal stimulus brouhaha they started.

John McCain was on CNN Wednesday to continue his whining about how the big bad Obama administration was unfairly picking on him and Senator Kyl for their belligerent remarks about the federal stimulus funds earmarked for Arizona.

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: Thank you, Kiran.

CHETRY: Well, you know, your fellow senator, Arizona's Jon Kyl, has said that the stimulus should be canceled.

The big news today for the Beltway bloviators and media villagers is that Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) announced that the Republican Party has abandoned moderate Republicans like him for the Club for Growth (Grover Norquist) conservatives. "There ought to be a rebellion, an uprising" against these Club for Growth conservatives by Republicans, said Specter. He instead announced that he is joining the Democratic Party.

The chattering class immediately started hyperventilating about how this will give the Democrats a 60 vote filibuster-proof majority in the Senate once Al Franken dispatches sore loser Norm Coleman in the Minnesota Supreme Court. This is why the "conventional wisdom" of the Beltway media villagers is anything but.

Indicted Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley was not appointed to a special task force on the implementation of the federal economic recovery plan, despite a claim to that effect made by his lawyers in a court motion, a White House spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Stapley's attorney, Paul Charlton, said there was a mix-up in terminology and acknowledged the supervisor has not been appointed to a task force by Vice President Joe Biden, as was claimed in a motion filed Tuesday.

However, Stapley was asked to participate in a meeting next week in Washington, D.C., to discuss the implementation of the economic recovery plan signed last month by President Barack Obama, Charlton said.

Fifty-three days before the election, Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is at last making a concerted effort to compete with Sen. John McCain in Arizona.

The opening of the campaign's Phoenix headquarters Wednesdy attracted between 1,500 and 2,000 people, according to David Cieslak, Obama campaign spokesman for Arizona, and he told PolitickerAZ.com it is indicative of the kind of support they're already receiving.
