Tucson Ward 3 Shocker: DeCamp Wins!
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 8:46 PM
Well, in KidsVoting, anyway.
We've got the results in on KidsVoting in the Tucson City Election.
In Ward 3, Green Party candidate Mary DeCamp captured 35.56 percent of the vote among the 855 school children who cast a ballot in the race. We said back in our endorsement package that Mary was way ahead of her time.
Republican Ben Buehler-Garcia, who came in second with 34.04 percent of the vote, might have pulled ahead of DeCamp, if it hadn't been for the spoiler in the race, Democrat Karin Uhlich, who came in third with 30.41 percent.
In Ward 6, Democratic incumbent Nina Trasoff fared much better than she did in real life, winning 59 percent of the the vote compared to Republican Steve Kozachik's 41 percent.
In Ward 5, Republican Shaun McClusky captured 54 percent of the vote against Democrat Richard Fimbres' 46 percent. Guess those kids believed those wild tales Shaun told them about the bad man who stole the piggy bank.

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

Interesting that concern about political indoctrination of children in public education is reflexively and unthinkingly dismissed as "tea bagging" or having some relation to "faux news". Heaven forbid people might actually be concerned by the implications of educating children into a philosophy who's end state requires authoritarian control of how all people use resources such as energy or land. No, easier to simply dismiss with name calling. It's actually a form of dehumanization, but it's OK to dehumanize people who don't agree with "Progressive" agendas isn't it. They and their concerns don't really count. Kind of like UnPersons, another famous Lenin/Stalin philosophy.
