It is being reported that White House offered jobs to two contenders running against Democratic Senators in the 2010 elections if they would leave their respective races. Joe Sestak, running against Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, claims white House officials offered him the position of Secretary of the Navy in exchange for dropping out of the race. In Colorado, state house speaker Andrew Romanoff was reportedly offered a job by White House staffers if he abandoned a challenge to the Michael Bennet, appointed to the Senate to replace Secretary of Agriculture Ken Salazar.
According to Jeffrey Lord of The Spectator:
The discovery that the White House has now been reported on two separate occasions in two different states to be deliberately committing a potential violation of federal law -- in order to preserve the Democrats' Senate majority -- could prove explosive in this highly political year. The 60-seat majority slipped to 59 seats with the death of Senator Edward Kennedy, a Democrat, and the election of Republican Senator Scott Brown. Many political analysts are suggesting Democrats could lose enough seats to lose their majority altogether.
Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

Who am I? Like yourself, I am a concerned citizen who is sick of elected officials who's only concern is their own political future. In 1994 I moved to southern Arizona to work and live because of the large number of jobs being created in this fabulous state. Like most Arizonans I value the freedom of economic opportunity that this state is known for and that has helped us to thrive. Unfortunately, many politicians, having passed themselves off as sharing these values, now promote a socialistic agenda, wanting to spend the wealth that Arizonan's create on large government and programs that stifle creativity and initiative. I wish to be a voice in opposition to these charlatans. Enjoy my blog.
