ICYMI Cook Report"Kirkpatrick's ruffled relations with tribes”
The Cook Political Report covered CD 1 in their write-up yesterday of the most competitive House races in the country.
Cook points to"Kirkpatrick's ruffled relations with tribes,” noting that the"Navajo Nation tribal council just declined to endorse her.” According to the piece, Kirkpatrick’s missteps have left Jonathan Paton with a"big opening.”
AZ-01: NEW SEAT – Northeast: Flagstaff, Navajo Nation, Casa Grande
Toss Up. Democrats were bullish earlier in the year on former Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick's comeback chances in this favorably redrawn Northern Arizona seat, but both parties admit the outcome here is now in doubt. Kirkpatrick's ruffled relations with tribes (the Navajo Nation tribal council just declined to endorse her) and a poor editorial board meeting (the Arizona Republic called it a meltdown) have given GOP state Sen. Jonathan Paton a big opening. Over half of voters in Arizona vote by mail, so there's not much left either side can do.

Ann Kirkpatrick A boycotter’s best friend AZ01 JustLikePelosi
Ann Kirkpatrick is standing in solidarity with the same out-of-state radical activists who boycotted Arizona, destroying jobs and hurting our economy.
Kirkpatrick has received $5,000 from the SEIU, the union group that helped initiate and lead the boycott of Arizona in 2010. Not a surprise given that Kirkpatrick opposed Arizona’s immigration law, SB1070, and repeatedly voted against efforts to secure our border when she was in the state Legislature.
Kirkpatrick’s money from big unions doesn’t stop there. In total, Kirkpatrick has received a total of $116,700 from powerful union special interests.
"Ann Kirkpatrick is walking arm in arm with the same radical activists who attacked Arizona and hurt our economy,” said Paton spokesman Barrett Marson."This relationship is a red flag. Kirkpatrick will continue to put these extremists before Arizonans if she gets back to Washington.”

ICYMI National Journal lists Ann Kirkpatrick "meltdown" among top memorable House debate moments AZ01.
The National Journal, one of the top political publications in the country, today released its list of "Memorable House Debate Moments of 2012." Out of 435 races nationwide, who made the list? Ann Kirkpatrick, with her "meltdown" at the Arizona Republic editorial board meeting.
Here is what National Journal had to say about Kirkpatrick's meltdown:
-- "Meltdown": Former Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, running to reclaim Arizona's 1st District, won the Arizona Republic's endorsement in 2008 and 2010. But she lost the paper's 2012 endorsement to Republican Jonathan Paton after displaying "unbounded contempt" for Paton during their meeting with the paper's editorial board. "We have seen more complete meltdowns in our board meetings," the Republic editorialized, "but never one so unexpected."

ICYMI Fox 10 "Aced Again" - Ann Kirkpatrick A No-Show for AZ01
Jonathan Paton appeared on Fox 10's Newsmaker Sunday program with respected newsman John Hook yesterday to talk about the race for Arizona's First District and the issues that are important to the voters, such as job creation. Hook is widely respected in Arizona and nationally, having been invited to interview President Obama.
Jonathan hoped to get the chance to appear with Ann Kirkpatrick. She refused. As John Hook explains in the opening, Kirkpatrick refused to even be interviewed separately. She wouldn't do an interview via Skype or Phone. She's also turned down requests from other television stations, as many of you know.
You can see the opening of the show where Hook talks about his invitation here:
To watch the entire interview here: www.myfoxphoenix.com/story/19875838/newsmaker-sund...paton
Here is what Jonathan Paton had to say about Kirkpatrick's continued refusal to talk to the voters on camera:
"One of the basic roles of a member of Congress is to actually communicate with real live people. I can't imagine why Ann Kirkpatrick refuses to be interviewed on camera, except that she knows her plan to continue supporting Obamacare and trillion dollar deficits isn't what the voters want. No wonder she doesn't want to talk about her plans on camera." -- Jonathan Paton

Ann Kirkpatrick makes the "Bonus Bunch" - 10 Most Corrupt Democrats of 2012. AZ01
NRCC Releases Latest"Corrupt Democrat” Video: "The Bonus Bunch”
The Story of Four Politicians Who Thought They Could Do And Spend Whatever They Wanted
Washington --- Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee released its newest Corrupt Democrats video featuring former Representatives Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-01), Carol Shea Porter (NH-01), Dan Maffei (NY-24) and Charlie Wilson (OH-06) for their over-the-top spending abuse. Even after being booted out of office by voters, these Democrats splurged -- spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on salary increases and bonuses to their staffs.
"Voters have had enough of over the top spending sprees from House Democrats that have increased taxes and driven the economy deeper into debt,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."When will these corrupt Democrats realize that their days of treating taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money are up?”

Jonathan Paton releases new ad"Words” AZ01
Kirkpatrick said she wouldn’t second-guess the president, and her record reflects it
Jonathan Paton released a new ad today that holds Ann Kirkpatrick accountable for supporting ObamaCare, while showering her staff and campaign aides with more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded bonuses.
"Ann Kirkpatrick voted for ObamaCare and rubber-stamped the failed policies coming out of Washington that have hurt our economy, stifled job creation and added to our debt,” said Jonathan Paton."It’s important that our next representative serves as a check-and-balance on the executive branch, no matter if the president is Republican or Democrat.”
It was also revealed by the Arizona Republic that after being voted out of office in 2010, Kirkpatrick spent more than $100,000 on bonuses to her staff in her final 48 hours in office. She even brought campaign aides onto her official staff and used taxpayer dollars to reward them.
You can view the ad here:
Script as follows:
I’m Jonathan Paton and I approve this message.
Ann Kirkpatrick... "...I completely support what the President did with the Affordable Care Act"
We know...
Kirkpatrick voted for ObamaCare...
...cutting Medicare by $716 billion
...empowering 15 unelected bureaucrats to deny seniors care
While Kirkpatrick showered her staff and campaign aides with"more than $100,000” in taxpayer-funded bonuses.
Ann Kirkpatrick:
"I’m not going to second-guess the president..."
Yeah, we know.

Even Tucson Weekly calls Ann Kirkpatrick Ad attacking Jonathan Paton, "Simply False." AZ01
The Tucson Weekly – which has covered Rio Nuevo from start to finish – is calling Ann Kirkpatrick’s latest attack ad"phony” and its attacks"simply false.”
"Accusing (Paton) of being part of the group that wasted hundreds of millions of dollars is simply false,” the publication reports.
As the Weekly points out, Paton passed reforms to the board and was then appointed to help clean up the mess left by the city of Tucson and the original Rio Nuevo Board. Paton called for audits to determine where the $200 million was wasted.
Here is a comment from Jonathan on this false attack:
"Ann Kirkpatrick’s support in this district is plummeting as voters learn that she wasted more than $100,000 of taxpayer money on bonuses for her staff and campaign aides after being voted out of office in 2010. Now, she has no choice but to just make things up. This ad is a complete lie and speaks volumes about not only Kirkpatrick’s lack of character but also her understanding of the issues in the southern part of this district. I call on her to immediately take down what the Weekly describes as pure 'BS.'"
From the Tucson Weekly:
Tucson Weekly: CD 1 Air War: Kirkpatrick Levels BS Claim Against Paton on Rio Nuevo
"Paton called for audits of that spending while serving in the Arizona Legislature and pushed to see a new board formed that stripped control from the city of Tucson. By the time Paton joined the new Rio Nuevo Board following his resignation from the state Senate to pursue an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2010, the Rio Nuevo Board members had stopped spending money on almost anything besides audits and attorneys.... You can be critical of the reformed Rio Nuevo board that Paton joined for filing lawsuits instead of pushing forward with repairs to the Tucson Convention Center, but accusing him of being part of the group that wasted hundreds of millions of dollars is simply false.” www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2012/10/05/...nuevo

Joe Biden Admits Middle Class Has ‘Been Buried the Last Four Years’ Under Ann Kirkpatrick's Party’s Policies
Arizona Democrat Watches Her Party’s Big-Government Policies Make a Bad Economy Worse, So Will She Refuse to #stopthetaxhike?
WASHINGTON --- Ann Kirkpatrick and her party in the House will have to face the music after Vice President Joe Biden admitted at a campaign rally yesterday that the middle class has ‘been buried the last four years.’ Thanks to Kirkpatrick's party’s efforts to crush small business owners and families with more taxes, the Arizona economy continues to be plagued with anemic economic growth and a bleak outlook for the future (Roll Call #8, 8/1/2012).
"The cat’s out of the bag now that even the vice president conceded that his party’s own policies have buried the middle class,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."Biden’s right, and now is no time for Washington Democrats to pursue job-killing tax hikes for Arizona families and job creators – but will Ann Kirkpatrick work to stop the tax hike?”
Thanks to Ann Kirkpatrick's party, the average Arizona families’ tax increase will be $3,341 in 2013. (“The Effects of Taxmadeggon,” The Heritage Foundation, 6/2012)
Vice President Biden said that the middle class has been ‘buried’ during Obama’s tenure:
"’This is deadly earnest. How they can justify ... raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years?’ [said Biden].” (Patricia Zengerle,"Biden: U.S. Middle Class ‘Buried the Last Four Years,’” Reuters, 10/2/2012)

Ann Kirkpatrick's Party Starts the Fiscal Year with a Gift to Americans A $16 Trillion Debt. AZ01
Will Kirkpatrick's Party’s Spending Addiction Continue to
Spiral the Debt Out of Control?
WASHINGTON --- President Obama said at his inaugural speech that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. The deficit was at $1.3 trillion then and after Ann Kirkpatrick helped pass reckless spending packages like the nearly $1 trillion stimulus, the deficit remains above $1 trillion in Obama’s fourth year — pushing the debt over $16 trillion.
"Regardless of his promise, Obama has refused to end his party’s spending sprees and Ann Kirkpatrick supported him right along,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."Kirkpatrick's $833 trillion stimulus has failed to get the unemployment rate below 8.0 percent and succeeded in delaying economic recovery. Arizona families can’t afford to fund her addiction again.”
Thanks to Washington Democrats, the last four years added over $5 trillion to our national debt:
"Shortly after his inauguration in January 2009, Obama pledged to cut the budget deficit, then $1.3 trillion, in half by the end of his first term.
"When fiscal 2012 ended at midnight Sunday, the outgoing 12-month yearly deficit was again $1.3 trillion — the fourth consecutive year it has exceeded $1 trillion.
"The deficits have helped push the national debt to a shade over $16 trillion, up from $10.7 trillion when Obama took office.” (Tom Raum,"Deficits to be hot topic in 1st debate,” Associated Press, 10/1/2012)
The White House promised the unemployment rate would be at about 5.6% by now with passage of their failed stimulus. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Accessed 9/7/2012; American Enterprise Institute, 8/3/2012)

Democrats’ Spending Fueled by Borrowing From China, And @Ann_Kirkpatrick's Stimulus Sent Jobs There AZ01
Democrats’ Stimulus Sent Jobs to China, Who Owns $1.15 Trillion of America’s Debt
WASHINGTON --- For each year of President Obama’s term, the national deficit has been over $1 trillion due to House Democrats like Ann Kirkpatrick voting for reckless spending policies like the $833 billion failed stimulus (Roll Call #70, 2/13/09). Now, China owns $1.15 trillion of our debt and Ann Kirkpatrick's stimulus also sent jobs overseas to them.
"With Ann Kirkpatrick, China gets the best of both worlds – they own our debt and we fund their jobs,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."As our debt skyrockets and America’s unemployment remains unacceptably high, will Kirkpatrick continue to champion her party’s wasteful spending addiction as countries like China benefit?”
China owns $1.15 trillion in American debt. (“Major Foreign Holders of Treasury Securities,” U.S. Department of the Treasury, 9/18/2012)
Under President Obama, the national debt has increased by an astonishing $5.38 trillion. (“The Daily History of the Debt Results,” Bureau of the Public Debt, Accessed 9/18/2012)
Some of Washington Democrats’ stimulus funds went to creating jobs in China, along with other foreign countries:
"As we know from Choma’s exhaustive research, it is true that foreign-owned companies have received $2.4 billion in grants to build wind farms in the U.S. Choma gives this breakdown: ... China, $2.6 million. ... Choma wrote: ‘...we can’t say for sure how much of this stimulus money went to create jobs in China. Some money definitely did...” (Eugene Kiely, Lara Seligman, Lauren Hitt and Melissa Siegel,"Stimulus Jobs in China?,”FactCheck.org, 10/29/2010)

hightailing it again in AZ01
@Ann_Kirkpatrick As you may have seen, Ann Kirkpatrick is up with a new ad bragging about how she"keeps her foot on the gas.”
Yeah, Ann, we know.
This ad isn’t the first time she’s hit the gas on her SUV.
Kirkpatrick is probably best known for walking out of a constituent meeting because she didn’t want to talk about her support for ObamaCare.
Thanks for the reminder, Ann.
NRCC COMMENT:"Ann Kirkpatrick sure knows how to hightail it out of facing her record of supporting Washington’s failed policies. Arizona voters already hit the brakes two ago on Kirkpatrick’s tax and spend joy ride, and they are ready to do it again in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato

Kirkpatrick is probably best known for walking out of a constituent meeting because she didn’t want to talk about her support for ObamaCare.
Thanks for the reminder, Ann.
NRCC COMMENT:"Ann Kirkpatrick sure knows how to hightail it out of facing her record of supporting Washington’s failed policies. Arizona voters already hit the brakes two ago on Kirkpatrick’s tax and spend joy ride, and they are ready to do it again in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato

America Slips Under @Ann_Kirkpatrick's Party’s Policies as China Rises in Global Competitiveness AZ01
Thanks to Exploding Debt, America Fails to Encourage Confidence and Falls in Global Market Rankings
WASHINGTON --- Thanks to Ann Kirkpatrick's out-of-control spending addiction when in Washington, and namely her vote for a failed $833 billion stimulus package (Roll Call #70, 2/13/09), our dangerously high national debt is blocking American economic recovery. Not only have Americans struggled to find confidence in Ann Kirkpatrick and her party’s fiscally irresponsible policies, now that same lack of confidence pervades international markets, forcing America to fall as countries like China rise in global competitiveness rankings.
"Due to Ann Kirkpatrick's and her party’s spending habits, America’s economic growth is stagnant, causing our global competitiveness ranking to fall yet again as China’s continues to climb,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."American families and small business owners won’t allow Kirkpatrick to let America slip as a dominant global economy while countries like China continue to leave us in the dust.”
A recent survey says China is building momentum and emerging as a new force in international markets as America falls again for the fourth year in a row under Obama’s taxing, spending, and borrowing agenda:
"The United States' ability to compete on the global stage has fallen for the fourth year running as confidence in the country's politicians continues to decline, an annual survey from the World Economic Forum found Wednesday.”
"Elsewhere, the Forum found that leading emerging economies are displaying different performances. China, at 29th place, has risen in the rankings and leads the group, while Brazil has moved up to 48th.” (Pan Pylas,"Survey Finds US Competitive Ranking Down Again,” Associated Press, 9/5/2012)

Rhetoric Meets Reality in AZ01 with @Ann_Kirkpatrick
Kirkpatrick's Party’s Plan Didn’t ‘Work’ As More People End Job Search
Hopeless Arizonans Give Up Under Democrats’ Big-Government Policies
WASHINGTON --- Job prospects for unemployed Americans have all but come to a halt as the national unemployment rate remained at a persistently weak rate of 8.1 percent. While Ann Kirkpatrick continues to champion her party’s hyper-regulatory, big-spending policies, 368,000 Americans gave up looking for work, leaving the workforce participation rate at its lowest level in more than 30 years.
"The rhetoric of Ann Kirkpatrick's party promised improved economic conditions, yet all they’ve succeeded in doing is making a bad economy worse,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay."The reality is that the highest number of Americans in 30 years have lost faith in their job situation getting better under Kirkpatrick's party.”
The unemployment rate in the month of August was 8.1 percent and 368,000 Americans gave up looking for work:
"Employment growth remained weak in August, with just 96,000 new positions created but the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent...”
"The decline in the jobless rate, from 8.3 percent in July, came primarily because the labor force participation rate fell to 63.5 percent, its worst level in more than 30 years — since September 1981. The civilian labor force contracted by 368,000.” (Jeff Cox,"New Jobs at 96,000, Missing Expectations; Rate Hits 8.1%,” CNBC, 9/7/2012)
However, President Obama is ready to double down on his big-government, job-crushing policies, saying they’ve ‘worked’:
"Just like we’ve tried their plan, we tried our plan -- and it worked. That’s the difference.” (“Remarks by the President at a Campaign Event,” The White House, 7/25/2012)

Nancy Pelosi wants @Ann_Kirkpatrick back in AZ01
Nancy Pelosi has a message for Ann Kirkpatrick:"Please, come back to Congress.”
A new NRCC ad in Arizona lays out Kirkpatrick’s support for ObamaCare and the Pelosi agenda.
NRCC COMMENT:"Nancy Pelosi might want Ann Kirkpatrick back in Congress, but Arizonans don’t. Her support for job-destroying policies like ObamaCare is what led Arizona voters to reject Kirkpatrick just two years ago. They stand ready to reject her agenda again.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato
The script for the ad is as follows:
ANNOUNCER: Nancy Pelosi is desperate to have Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick back in congress.
Because Kirkpatrick helped her pass ObamaCare.
That vote could destroy 249,000 jobs and raise taxes by $2,000 for some families.
The better choice?
Jonathan Paton.
Combat veteran.
Fiscal conservative.
He’ll vote to repeal Obamacare, lower taxes, and help create jobs.
