And the RINO of the Year Awards go to ...

Arizona's 2014 primary election season enters its final week today. People must either mail their early ballots today, bring early ballots to the polling place or vote in polling places on August 26. With this urgency in mind, The Arizona Conservative is announcing its Republican In Name Only (RINO) awards today to inform voters of the identity of some of the most liberal, so-called "Republicans," or RINOs. And now, to the awards we go:"I've Been Takin' Care of Corporate Welfare Business, Workin' Overtime" Award: Scott Smith, friend of Big Government, former Mesa mayor, and candidate for governor."reagan DEMOCRAT-Moving Arizona Backward" Award: Michele Reagan, former state senator, candidate for secretary of state."William J. and Hillary Rodham Clinton Politics of Personal Destruction" Award: Bob Worsley, a friend of big government who called Arizona a "police state," and called party base Republicans "extremists.""Tempe Town Lake Fever" Award: Hugh Hallmann, former mayor of Tempe, candidate for state treasurer; many people get elected to serve in Washington, D.C., and go left after succumbing to "Potomac Fever." Hallman succumbed to Tempe Town Lake Fever, adopting left-wing politics and daring Republicans to elect him to a state office regardless of his radical politics. Tempe is one of the state's most left-wing cities, and real Republicans can't get elected mayor there."Jim Kolbe Of Course You Won't have to Pay for That, the Government Will Pay for it" Award: Doug Coleman, friend of Big Government, no friend of taxpayers, and candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives.
