Politics CD8: Gov. Brewer Done Has Did Endorsed Jesse Kelly
Posted by Jim Nintzel on Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Gov. Jan Brewer is taking advantage of her week in the national spotlight to endorse Republican Jesse Kelly, who hopes to unseat Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Congressional District 8.
In a press release, Brewer said: “There is no question that Jesse Kelly is the best candidate—a dynamic leader with business and military experience who will stand up to President Obama and fight for Arizonans in Washington.”
One thing that Kelly is not likely to do: Support any more federal bailouts of the state that have kept Brewer from making deeper cuts to state programs. Here's a look at what stimulus has done for the state, if you're inclined to give it a glance.
Mitt Romney—who first brought you a version of ObamaCare in Massachusetts—also endorsed Kelly this week. Romney's statement: “I am particularly impressed with his practical conservative solutions to get Americans back to work. It is time to send businesspeople with experience in creating private sector jobs and balancing budgets to Washington.”
We should note that most of Don Kelly Construction's private jobs are funded with public dollars.

Republican=hypocrite . Enough said. Except, get out and vote this unelected cretin governor out, so we can be somewhat proud of our state again. And tell "Flipper" Jesse not to quit his day job with his daddy's stimulus funded construction company. If I was Giffords, I'd buy the rights to morph Jesse's head onto Linda Blair's body in an "Exorcist" clip, and show his head spinning, and the peas soup dripping down his chin, as he reneges on every insane campaign position he took to please the one-toothed tea party yahoos.

This has got to be the least desired endorsement given this week. Ya gotta feel sorry for Kelly for this one.
From the article: "One thing that Kelly is not likely to do: Support any more federal bailouts of the state that have kept Brewer from making deeper cuts to state programs. Here's a look at what stimulus has done for the state, if you're inclined to give it a glance."
I did check it out as you suggested Mr. Nintzel and the $6.7 million AZ has allocated works out to 0.0008% of the state budget. Thank goodness that the Gov. didn't have to make that 0.0008 % deeper cut right!
azjimn, WOW! So much substance to your comment.
NidanGoju: You missed an important notation:
LEGEND: ($ in thousands)
So what you think is $6.7 million is actually $6.7 billion.

It's a fairly common mistake by people who are unfamiliar with government reports.
