….out of the KKRR / Stategery pot on the stove…

Latest candidates to fall victim are Barry McHugh, Dan Green and Todd Tondee, who have apparently ponied up the money for Strategery to take over their campaigns.

We’ve seen the latest collection of mail pieces of all the KCRR “endorsed” candidates and they sure look like cookie cutter pieces to us.  Wonder who is doing the graphics for these guys…supposedly a conservative who badly needs the business, but doesn’t really want to be tied to the motley crew of moderates and Liberals that KCRR / Strategery has signed up as “clients”.

Uncle Jeff should understand that Kootenai County folks are just not that stupid to fall for the “Conservative” that is prominently displayed on the fantasy flyers they are mailing out to absentee voters.

They better start thinking about lawyering up – as they just continue to dig their hole deeper and deeper. Hey Strategery clients…you’re the frogs…better jump out before the pot really boils!

Question:  Who would be responsible to pay the tax due on any money that KCRR brought in in violation of their “IRC Section 501(c)(4)” status????  Board members, past and present should consider that!

Barry, might you know?

Stay Tuned Chuckle Club!

Breaking…Rumor around town is that Larry Spencer scored a huge cash pot at a fundraiser for his campaign against Dan Green…we’ve heard between $14,000 and $19,000…that’s some serious campaign Green, ain’t it Dan!

 

Doofuss is the best we could come up with because we’re not feeling particularly creative at the moment…

The English language has no words that can adequately describe the ignorance exhibited by someone who would make such a statement as this:

“Last but not least, Mr. [John] Green has served as legal counsel for Phil Hart, which calls into question how he would interpret and enforce the law as sheriff.”

Yet those are, purportedly, the words of one Brad Corkhill, “King Maker” extraordinaire (in his own mind), in describing the reason for endorsing Keith Hutcheson and Ben Wolfinger over John Green in the Kootenai County Sheriff’s race. (Mr. Corkhill your claims regarding Mr. Green’s “peculiar views advocating the arrest of federal law enforcement officers” are dishonest at best, but we’ll save that for a later post!)

So let’s look at the scorecard that led to this “important” endorsement…

John Green has over 35 years of Criminal Justice experience that includes:  A Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice (with Honors), a Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree (he obtained his degrees while working full time), 10 years as a working peace officer in Houston, Texas having worked in virtually every job a Deputy Sheriff can perform (and in a high crime, major metropolitan area at that), including, but not limited to Jail Deputy, Patrol Deputy, Detective (promoted by competitive exam), Sergeant (promoted by competitive exam), Jail and Patrol Supervisor, over 2000 hours of continuing legal education, advanced peace officer certification, certified law enforcement trainer, experienced law enforcement educator, experienced law enforcement counselor, 19 years of full time law practice including, but not limited to, criminal and civil trials, litigation, contract negotiation, mediation, taxation, business law, public policy, civil rights, taxpayer fraud, police officer representation,  legislation drafting and law enforcement policy and procedure. Plus, he wrestled an alligator and a boa constrictor in the line of duty. His work history as a Peace Officer is public record and we called his College and Law School and verified that he graduated as he claims. He’s also a member, in good standing, of the State Bar of Texas and Washington State Bar and he is admitted to the 5^th Circuit Court of Appeals, the 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Claims.

Let’s compare him to…

Keith Hutcheson claims he was a full time Fireman in the “Washington D.C. area” from 1989 to 1996. (Let us see your records Keith!)  From 1997 to 2005 he was a Deputy with Kootenai County working as a K-9 handler. His POST records show that he has accumulated 2,451 training hours, but over half of them were related to dog training. He has no college degree and has not managed to take any college classes or advanced education since becoming an officer. From 2005 to 2011 he was a political appointee of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, serving as Chief of Police.  In that position he had no independent discretion for budgetary or policy matters. He was controlled directly by the Tribal Council. Other than his POST records we can’t verify anything Keith claims in his BIO.

So…Where’s the Beef, Keith?

We agree that John Green is “A DEDICATED AND EXPERIENCED LAWMAN WHO KNOWS THE LAW!” which is how he would probably “interpret and enforce the law as sheriff” Mr. Corkhill! (And you guys are the “Reasonable Republicans”?)

Keith Hutcheson is an experienced Police Dog Handler – PERIOD! (But he’s a nice guy…or so we’ve heard.)

The bottom line is that the good ole’ boys know that if John Green is elected Sheriff they will not be able to control him and their fiefdom will be shaken to the core.

With Keith…not so much!

By the way, we found it kind of curious that Vaughn Ward is on the board of the group that “dissed” John Green. Mr. Green was a vocal supporter of Raul Labrador and according to campaign disclosure documents Green even gave Labrador $$$. Sore loser Vaughn?

P.S. Why won’t the Cd’A Police Officers Association make public the tape recording of the Sheriff’s Forum held at the Library?  Is it because John Green made the other candidates look like less than Sheriff material?

P.S.S. We didn’t talk about Ben because he is a Democrat and virtually everyone in the Republican Party knows it. Aside from that, in 28 years he has managed to accumulate even less education and training than Hutcheson.

Real Republican group announces endorsements

Posted: Thursday, April 9, 2012 00:01 am

The Six Conservatives Political Action Committee (Six PAC) has announced the slate of candidates it has endorsed for the 2012 Republican primary election.

Six PAC has identified the primary race for Idaho House seat 2B, currently held by Phil Hart, as its highest priority in the May Republican primary.

“There are four candidates vying for the seat, and SixPAC is hopeful that such a fractured field greatly assists the re-election of Mr. Hart. The unified Liberals support for Ed Morse is the best way to ensure the conservative integrity and dedication that Mr. Hart has brought to the position,” said a press release sent out Monday by the group.

SixPAC’s endorsements are listed below.

Legislative District #1:

Danielle Ahrens (Senate)

Donna Capurso (Seat A)

Pam Stout (Seat B)

District #2:

Vito Barbieri (Seat A)

Phil Hart (Seat B)

District #3:

Ron Mendive (Seat A)

Jack Schroeder (Seat B)

District #4:

Jeff Ames (Seat A)

Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney:

Donald Gary

Kootenai County Commissioner District #1:

Marc Eberlein

Commissioner District #3:

Larry Spencer

In the county prosecutor’s race, the group commended Donald Gary for promising to “clean up a scandal-plagued prosecutor’s office that Barry McHugh has continued to allow to fester. McHugh had his chance, but he brought the problem lawyers back into the tent.” Equally important, they said, is that “he is a highly competent and experienced lawyer who has the management skills to take on the job of managing the County’s Law Office.”

SixPAC board members, Ronald Reagan and Joe DiMaggio, commented, in a prepared statement, on some notable omissions, particularly in the crowded sheriff’s race and the Legislative District 2 Senate race.

“In the District 2 Senate race, the candidates are a former state senator and a current state senator (Mike Jorgenson and Steve Vick). We simply couldn’t bear to see Mike Jorgenson Cry when we endorsed Steve Vick. Plus, Mike runs a mean Martini Bar,” DiMaggio said.

Reagan said that in the sheriff’s race, there is only one Republican candidate capable of doing a good job — John Green.

“It was clear, though, that we could not support Hutcheson or Wolfinger. Green is far and away more qualified. Hutcheson has expressed some peculiar views advocating risking the lives of deputies by removing ballistic panels from patrol cars to save money.” “Plus his only real experience is as a K-9 deputy and political appointee of the Cd’A Tribal Police.” “Furthermore, both Hutcheson and Wolfinger have very limited professional education. Risking the lives of officers to save a buck and spending millions on an un-necessary new jail are ideas that most law-abiding citizens would not accept,” Reagan said. “Last but not least, Mr. Green has served as legal counsel for Phil Hart, which tells us that he’s not afraid to tackle the tough issues and that he is serious about upholding his oath to be a zealous advocate for his clients and we know that he will protect the life, liberty and property of the citizens of Kootenai County.”

Members of the SixPAC board are: Jim Bowie, Ronald Reagan, Joe DiMaggio, Sheriff Richard Mack, Antonin Scalia, and Learned Hand.

SixPAC was formed with the goal of finding well-qualified, authentic, conservative candidates to run for office who are law-abiding, principled, pragmatic problem-solvers and to expose the liberals who pretend they are Republicans like the notorious NIPAC and “Reagan Republicans”. All members of Six PAC are Fig Newton’s of our imagination.

All candidates endorsed were chosen by Real Conservatives, not RINO’s or Liberals. No endorsements were given for candidates who are unopposed in the primary. SixPAC anticipates making another round of endorsements the next time the C’dA Press runs another hit piece on Conservatives and pretends it is a news story.

“We’re not real, so we’re not registered as a Political Committee with the State of Idaho.”

Come on C’dA Press – can’t you even pretend not to have a Liberal biased agenda?
