Posted on January 23, 2018 by mesasmiles

The biggest problem I had with Senator Jeff Flake’s diatribe against President Trump on the Senate floor last Wednesday was the poor example he is setting for Latter-day Saints. This just isn’t how we are taught to treat our President. … Continue reading →

Republican Senate leadership is trying to fool us on the debt ceiling vote

Posted on February 15, 2014 by mesasmiles

I’m a fervent conservative and a life-long Republican. But if I lived in Kentucky, I’d probably work for the defeat of Mitch McConnell in his Senate re-election campaign, even against the Democrat. That’s how disgusted I am with how he … Continue reading →

Jeff Flake joins the Democrats in opening the door for more gun control

Posted on April 13, 2013 by mesasmiles

I felt this was the way Jeff Flake was going to go. I have seen him as one who would more like to “go along to get along” than to defend our liberties. He was one of the Republicans called … Continue reading →

Sarah Palin, Jeff Flake, and Kirk Adams – sorting it all out

Posted on August 27, 2012 by mesasmiles

I just found a posting from about ten days ago on the Gilbert Watch blog: Randy Hatch, Chairman of AZ Red Mountain Tea Party, speaks out. I basically agree with most of the conclusions, but it shows a political naiveté … Continue reading →

Posted on July 14, 2012 by mesasmiles

US Senate candidate Wil Cardon spoke Thursday night at the Mountain View Tea Party in Mesa. The appearance was a mixed bag. Attendance was low. When Jeff Flake appeared at the same venue two years ago, he packed the room … Continue reading →

Matt Salmon at the Mountain View Tea Party

Posted on February 10, 2012 by mesasmiles

Matt Salmon was the guest speaker at our Mountain View Tea Party tonight. I was very impressed. My first clue that this is a man I can trust was his sticking to his word when he first served in Congress. … Continue reading →

I think I may like Wil Cardon for Senate

Posted on August 28, 2011 by mesasmiles

I noticed the headline in this morning’s East Valley Tribune, “Mormon Moment.” The article focuses on Wil Cardon’s challenge to Jeff Flake for retiring Senator John Kyl’s seat. They’re both LDS. Which is nice. That puts the focus on their … Continue reading →
