Renzi Won't Seek Re-election
Three-term Arizona congressman Rick Renzi, who the watchdog group CREW ranks among the "20 most corrupt members of Congress," said yesterday that he won't seek reelection in '08, a decision that surely has something to do with the fact that he's under investigation by the FBI for a suspect land deal.
The Arizona Daily Star reports:
Renzi helped promote the land sale that netted $4.5 million for his former business partner and campaign donor James Sandlin, according to state records and officials.
Renzi also found himself caught up in the controversy over the firings of eight U.S. Attorneys after it was revealed that Arizona prosecutor Paul Charlton was targeted for dismissal by the Justice Department shortly after opening an investigation into Renzi.
As a former resident of Prescott, Arizona and an unfortunate victim of having the mis-fortune of living within Renzi's district, I can assure any and all readers that Renzi is among the smelliest of several Republican stinking fish.
Renzi is Bush "yes-man" if there ever was one. If it wasn't for "B-1 Bob" of Southern California, no doubt Renzi would be known as the Rubber-Stamp King of Congressional Corruption.
THRILLED to have a chance to send a DEMOCRAT to Congress, and CD-1 IS coming up with great candidates to challenge the gop!!!!
Oh, sure.
"Challenge the GOP".., by making warrantless wiretaps legal for the Prez?
By continuing his Iraq debacle till the cows come home, even if the Troops NEVER do?
Things are gonna' be DIFFERENT when we have The DEMOCRATS are running the government!
Just you wait and see!
And if you think I sound disillusioned about our 'two party' system of government, well yeah, to put it mildly.
In last years election, my congressional district Turned Out one of the Very FEW Republicans who had the cojones to tell Dubya "NO" on invading Iraq.
They voted IN a Dem, former county sheriff who ran on being the 'New Sheriff' in Washington, and seeing that elected officials respect the laws.
This a-hole just voted to make it 'legal' for Dubya to ignore the clear Constitutional requirement to obtain warrants to gather evidence via wiretap.
Makes one wonder what kind of sheriff he was here at home.
