(Update) The Phisher King, Tyler Vogt, still spamming Tucsonans

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

"It's Tool Time!" The Phisher King, Tea-Publican troll Tyler Vogt, is still spamming Tucsonans. I gave you fair warning. Every time you spam my inbox I am going to trash you for it. Maybe you would prefer "Sir Spamalot"?

The latest spam email from the Phisher King contains statements of support from some of Tucson's lesser lights in the Pima County GOP.

The first is former Rep. Jim Kolbe, whom teabaggers still despise for his visit to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' election night party in 2006 to congratulate her for her win over their fave, Randy Graf. Kolbe was a member of various moderate Republican groups such as the Log Cabin Republicans, the Republican Main Street Partnership, the Republican Majority For Choice, Republicans for Choice, Republicans For Environmental Protection and It's My Party Too. That gets you lableled a "RINO" today by the teabagger Taliban dominated GOP. I am not sure whether this endorsement turns the GOP base against him, opting to sit at home and not vote on election day.

The next statement comes from gadfly Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll who makes an unsupported libelous slur: "[Shirley Scott] has repeatedly scandalized the office of Ward Four over the course of her 16 year tenure." No offer of proof, no evidence, no facts — typical Ray Carroll, always shooting his big mouth off. That's why nobody takes you serious, man. It's time for you to announce your retirement from the Pima County Board of Supervsiors, and to move on.  I suggest you apologize to Shirley Scott for your libelous slur.

Finally, there is the wannabe tinhorn dictator of Tucson, lobbyist and former Sen. Jonathan "Payday" Paton, who didn't have the guts to run for mayor of Tucson himself, so he got his buddies from the State of Maricopa to appoint him to a Rio Nuevo Board that they created for him. The Rio Nuevo Board has done nothing since it was formed — except to give "Payday" a perch from which to criticize the City of Tucson to the local "lamestream" media, who rarely examine the actions, or inaction, of the Rio Nuevo Board. Tucson City Council, Rio Nuevo at odds on TCC fixes:

[The] Rio Nuevo [Board] is constantly playing the "victim card," [Steve] Kozachik said, blaming the city for bad financial management and contending the city is lying to the district. He said their answer for not doing the repairs "changes every time you ask the question."

"It's really getting to the point of being beyond old," he said. "We have immediate needs we can take care of right now."

Kozachik questioned whether the board was simply a pawn for the Legislature, asking, "When are you going to get something done? Or are you just running interference for the state Legislature?"

Apparently Steve Kozachik, whom the Tea-Publicans like to cite in their campaign materials, is not down with this endorsement from "Payday" Paton, a pawn for Phoenix politicians from the State of Maricopa.

In fact, Steve Kozachik recently told Rhonda Bodfield of the Arizona Daily Star that "anybody who pays attention to his positions can tell he isn't out of place as an independent." Political notebook:

For now, Kozachik said, he's sticking with his GOP label to see if he can "maintain some level of moderation within the Republican Party."

He said he doesn't have any plans now to switch party designations, but he'll watch next year to see if the party pushes out folks who don't come from the far-right.

If he keeps getting support, fine, he said. "But if I'm fighting out of the corner all the time, I might just decide to climb out of the ring to find a place where I'm more politically aligned."

Teabagger Alert! "The Koz" is not one of you. He's a "RINO" to you. So why do you keep pretending that he is one of you in your campaign materials? The Tea-Publicans are so extreme that "The Koz" is contemplating bailing out on your radical right teabagger Taliban dominated GOP.
