[RINO] Kolbe to face primary challenge (Arizona 8th District)

Arizona Republic ^ | 24 March 2004 | Billy House and Jon Kamman

Randy Graf, the third-ranking Republican in the Arizona House, said Tuesday that he plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe in the Sept. 7 Republican primary.

"Some folks have asked me not to do this," Graf said, acknowledging wonderment that he would give up his majority whip post in the Legislature. "Voters in the district deserve a choice."

Several people have responded on earlier border threads, asking us how it is that we can keep electing people like Sen. McPain. Well, this is how we start to change our representation in Washington. We tried to oust Kolbe two years ago, and we're going to try again. Had it not been for 9/11, we would have done the same to McPain with the recall effort.

Bob Fannin, GOP Party Chairman. Is he any relation to Governor Paul Fannin? Fannin was AZ governor in the late 60's.

McCain must go. The future of the Republican Party and of America depends on it.

At this point, I would (if I lived in Arizona) seriously consider voting for a Democrat over McCain, just to get him out of there. Call it "ideological cleansing" of the GOP.

It's people like you that helped elect Janet Neopolitan for Governor in ARizona and she has been a NIGHTMARE...I dislike John McCain but until we can get someone to run against him, I'm not going to throw out the baby with the bathwater and vote for some Democrat....

What were the results 2 years ago in the primary?

[WOSG]

We've got a lot worse than McCain in the GOP Senate.

We have Specter.

Do what you can. Send what you can. If we win, the RINOs act like Republicans. If we lose this, the RINOs will have no shame. This means more than any other race out there right now!

Since this queer came out of the closet, he's become much more left wing.

Kolbe wiped the floor with his contender...who (my opinion) didn't have the organization or party backing to be more than a grassroots nuisance.

Spiff, since you helped Jim B. with his campaign, if I'm off base, would you weigh in?

You are actually very accurate in your assessment of the Behnke organization and what happened.

He's Paul Fannin's son.

[SandRat]

Not if you saw the crop of lame brains the RATS put up. The nicest thing I can say about them is that they are far left surrender-monkey antiAmerican LIBERALS.

[Missouri]

Bump.

A SLIGHT overexaggeration? The future of America? Be serious.

[Bonaparte]

I hope Graf succeeds in unseating him. Kolbe has taken a very sharp turn to the left this past session. He's way down into liberal territory.

[Mini-14]

I wonder if Kolbe supports abortion in cases where the baby is determined to have the "homosexual gene"?
