From the Arizona Daily Independent:
John Huppenthal and all his dirty little lies
Anyone else get the Voter Education Guide created by the Arizona Clean Election Commission today? It’s that magazine, newspapery looking thing you get in your mailbox right around election time where all the candidates put out their position statements in a last ditch effort to garner your vote just in case all of their campaign signs cluttering the intersections around the state didn’t annoy you enough already.
I’m a teacher, so I thought I’d check out the candidates for Arizona’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, or what most just call the head of our Department of Education. I recognized the major Republican and Democrat candidates who, with the exception for Diane Douglas, are in support of the federal take-over of Arizona’s education system, AKA the Common Core.
But there was one guy I didn’t recognize at first. He looks like a younger version of that guy that had a psychological breakdown at a press conference after he was caught posting racist comments online anonymously. You know, that creepy guy on campaign signs around town with his arms around a group of kids, the kind of man your parents tell you not talk to if approached?
What’s his name again? You know, he’s the guy with the deer-in-the-headlights look that always appears like he’s about to have a nervous breakdown from the weight of all those skeletons leaning on his closet door.
Yep, it’s little Johnny Huppenthal. He’s the kid in your class that would steal stuff out of other kids’ desks and then when he gets caught he would do some sort of circular story-telling marathon of lies ultimately wearing you down to where you don’t even care if he’s the thief anymore, just make him shut up already. You see little Johnny Huppenthal got away with his lies and deception for so long that it has become a way of life, a mode of survival for him.
From the Daily Caller:
Did This Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Embellish Her Military And Legal Experience?
If you listen to past statements made by Christine Jones, you might come away with the impression that the Republican candidate for governor of Arizona is a former Los Angeles prosecutor. You might also think she is an Air Force veteran.
The problem: Neither of those things are 100 percent true.
Jones, a political newcomer and former general counsel of web hosting company GoDaddy.com, is facing political attacks over statements about her work experience that don’t appear to line up completely with her past.
Her campaign contests that she ever misled about her background. But spokeswoman Anna Haberlein acknowledged to The Daily Caller: “Christine isn’t a practiced politician; she hasn’t dedicated her life to parsing every word.”
Take Jones’ testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on online sales of prescription drugs in 2008. Jones, speaking in her capacity of general counsel of GoDaddy.com, said: “I can tell you when I was a prosecutor, a vast, vast majority of the cases I tried [were] drug cases.”
“I tried cases in Compton,” Jones elaborated. “You may have heard of it before. It’s an area outside of Los Angeles. Lots of drug users. You know, we always had a theory that if we didn’t get a guy the first time, that was ok. Because he was going to be back.”
Jones, however, has never been a paid employee of the Los Angeles District Attorney Office or even been admitted to the bar in California.
