Graf Campaign Outraged at Kolbe’s De-Facto Support of Cop Killers

(Tucson, AZ) “At what point do you stop being outraged and simply say, it’s time for a change?” asked Steve Aiken, Graf Campaign Manager. Aiken is referring to Jim Kolbe’s refusal on Tuesday to join a bipartisan effort to withhold $66 million in U.S. aid if Mexico does not extradite suspected cop killers without strings attached. The measure overwhelmingly passed the House 327-98. According to the Rocky Mountain News, Kolbe called the withholding of the $66 million “shortsighted.”

“Just exactly whose interest is Jim Kolbe representing these days?” Aiken asked. “Recently Kolbe threatened to withhold funding from the Border Patrol here in Arizona, but he won’t withhold funds from Mexico? Something is very wrong with this picture.”

Recently, Kolbe has also found himself on the losing side of these bills too:

• End the burning and desecration of the U.S. Flag.
• Expand the military’s “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy.
• Remove the Ten Commandments from the Gibson County courthouse lawn.

“How can Jim Kolbe defend this atrocious voting record? The Graf campaign will continue to inform constituents about his indefensible actions that affect us here in Arizona, while he himself hides in Washington D.C. To say he no longer represents the views of most voters in southern Arizona is an understatement,” Aiken concluded.

On Friday, July 1, Randy Graf will be sharing the stage in Phoenix with John and Barbara March, parents of Deputy David March, slain by an illegal alien. The event will feature a virtual who’s who of Proposition 200 and Minuteman Project supporters including, among others: Jim Gilchrist, Chris Simcox and State Representative Russell Pearce. It is scheduled to start 10:00 a.m. Friday at 1700 West Washington St., on the southeast corner of the “House lawn.” The public is invited.

Typical for Kolbe. He is more concerned about getting gays in the military than supporting his own constituents.

All excellant reason to KAN KOLBE!

Kolbe is a homosexual RINO who makes McCain look palatable. The two local Tucson communist dailies, "Red Star" and "Soviet Citizen" sing his praises like he was a Democrat. These two make the NY Times seem like the Rush Limbaugh show.

I wish Graf well and will vote for him, but Kolbe will win again. Tucson and Pima County are hopeless.
