Folks can trash talk the messenger all they want, but what she says is quite accurate. You don't see the left taking out their candidates because they aren't 'left enough', yet conservatives do it all the time.

We forget that the leftists have been patient over these 50 years, and have put in place their agenda a little at a time, by electing folks who may not be 100% with them, but agree with them enough so that they're willing to get them into the office, and can work on them once they're there.

Anything derogatory from the village idiot is considered a compliment. Keep up that hard earned reputation.

RiNO's and their apologists must find people like you annoying.

If only the American People were more amenable to domestication and domination, things would be so much better!

Actually, the left wing has a pretty accurate take on Rachel Alexander.

Your linked article on Rachel Alexander contained this gobbet:

Her former boss, former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, was disbarred in April for perjury, filing malicious and bogus criminal cases against political enemies, and other ethics violations. Another of his subordinates, Lisa Aubuchon, was also disbarred. Both women are appealing the decision by a three-member panel headed by Judge William O'Neil. On August 31, the Arizona U.S. Attorney's Office declined to press charges against Thomas or his alleged accomplice, Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Alexander played the role of stooge in the power-play by Thomas and Arpaio, taking an incompetently crafted racketeering lawsuit against county leaders, judges and local lawyer and re-filing it for Thomas after Aubuchon recused herself from the case.

With her law license in limbo, Alexander could no longer handle bankruptcy cases to support herself. The business that was the sole source of income for her fiance's four children, Alexander wrote in court pleadings.
[Emphasis supplied.]

This is part of a vindictive Left campaign of persecution against people who work for Sheriff Joe, is what this is, and the source is part of Rahm Emmanuel's RatRoots orc army -- the same people he energized to go after Sarah Palin and use Alaska's unique accountability laws to drive her from office.

This is scumrats talking. Let's keep perspective, folks. RiNO or not, she was working for Sheriff Joe, and this is what the Left does to people who work for people like him.

So pursuing a bogus racketeering lawsuit as a political weapon was okay because she was doing it for Sheriff Joe and his allies?

Interesting ethical standards.

Better hope you're never a defendant in a lawsuit simply because you ticked off the wrong people in government.

Addressing your cited quote, you have to consider the source. Do you think this is Joseph Alsop writing an op-ed in TIME or Newsweek 50 years ago? Or another nasty little left-wing "alternative weekly" staffed with self-selected ankle-biters?

Look who the sides are. You might at least have a look at the people the ankle-biter says are upright and righteous (like Judge Weir), and who their "peeps" are.

So far we've identified Arpaio and some people working with (a DA) and for him, and this unnamed, uninspected adversary up at the state bar association is chasing them around and taking people's law licenses and trying to beggar them.

This stinks of Rahm Emmanuel and Barky and Janet Napolitano.

I’m not extremely informed about the case, but the stuff that I had heard, sounded to me like even the case against Thomas was ridiculous.

I smell Get Sheriff Joe about this one, and it’s part of a longer, protracted struggle between Arpaio and Arizona Dems.

Thank you’ people in my state (Arizona) are quiet familiar with the unethical disbarment of Thomas and Alexander.

I met her when she was helping Ward Connelly pass our civil rights initiative which is anti-affirmative action.

She is a strong conservative, hardly a RINO.

If you read the disciplinary proceedings opinion, you would understand that this was not a Democrat hit job. Her best defense was that she was just following orders. That doesn’t cut it when you’re an attorney filing lawsuits. If ordered, she should have quit rather than file.
