GOP primary ad in Arizona sparks protest - "They're idiots"

[CatWoman]

WASHINGTON - Arizona Republicans in a crowded House primary denounced the national GOP Tuesday for taking sides in the race. "They're idiots," one candidate said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee last week backed a candidate in the primary, launching a $122,000 advertising campaign for state Rep. Steve Huffman. The party contends Huffman is a moderate candidate who could win the district in November.

On Tuesday, Huffman's four GOP opponents took the unusual step of holding a joint news conference and delivering a message to the National Republican Congressional Committee.

"Stay the hell out of southern Arizona," said Mike Hellon, one of the candidates and a former state party chairman, in an interview following the news conference.

The four contend the NRCC had split the party, handing an advantage to the Democrats. They urged the NRCC to pull its ads and stay quiet until after the Sept. 12 primary.

"This is the granddaddy of unintended consequences," Hellon said in the interview. "They're idiots."

Your taxes paid for it: Local politicians rack up some eye-opening bills for the public to pay


You can't make this shit up. Talk about a state that should be declassified into being to a garbage dump for California. (That's not a shot at you Californians out there if I was a politician from Arizona I would call that a good business deal for you...I know a guy that'll thrown in some dead goats for ya while we're at it)

Man I can't wait to get outta here.
