The Hornets finished their season as the 2008 East Valley Conference Runners Up. It was a good year and one game short of a state championship isn't bad. I was really disappointed for a few hours but got over it. Thanks to all of my Hornets and their families (except two). I am a bit miffed a couple so I'm glad to take a brake. But that's just their Dads. I'll always love their kids. The relationships with these boys are the best part of the whole deal. I'm not sure if this year could ever be topped. I wonder if I shouldn't just call it quits. Yeah Right!
Saturday was awful, first the Hornets lose than BYU gets bombed in the biggest game of their year, then UofA decides they don't want to win so they gave the OSU BEAVS the win. Terrible. Sunday was better. Church was good. We had our family's 2nd Annual Thanktivis. We have a thanktivis because we are sad that we never get to just our family for Thanksgiving because we are with Stacy's family or my family on Thanksgiving day. So the past two years now we eat a Thanksgiving style dinner on the Sunday before. Its great. We eat the turkey, the potatoes the yams everything including pie and pig out and spend time as a family. We enjoy it together just us. Than we have leftovers just like we should. We tell each other what we are thankful for and than watch a family movie and just have a great time. Its great. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants some holiday "JUST US" time.

Rip The Band-aid Right off!
Now that we got this president we must reboot the republican party. We are going to suffer for a while. I think we have some stuff to do in here in Arizona. John Kyle needs to re-visit some conservative 101 classes. John McCain should retire and Jeff Flake should run for his Senate seat. I think JD Hayworth is a great idea for Gov since JNap can't run anymore. (besides she's hopping up and down like Horshack trying to get to Obama's white house). I think that Andrew Thomas should be the State Attorney General and then we'd have it all. Perhaps we could then fix this 2Billion Dollar deficit we have and finally fix some things in this state (undocumented squatters, raising taxes, tuition at our state universities, etc.). Next with a true conservative senator (Flake) and Governor we could set a trend for 2012 in 2010 on what we should be like in this country.
Cycles. It always happens. Remember the great GOP wins after Billy boy was in office. So it's just cycles. In two years BO's ratings will be down and everyone will be talking about him the way they do W.
I think we should really start at our level first though. Why is the Mesa city, Gilbert City and Arizona State Government in debt so bad? Because they are trying to fix the world with $$$. Instead they are just making it worse. Pinal county (where I live) is even worse. Everyone complains that the mortgage companies are to blame for all of our foreclosures. Not exactly. In Pinal County they needed money for the growing infrastructure (maricopa, queen creek, florence had terrible roads etc.). So they raised Property taxes 20% in one year (2007-2008). So they screwed us more than the mortgages. That's why some people got huge mortgage payment bumps one month to the next. So let's see, do banks that foreclose have to pay property taxes? yes right, but do they actually pay them (I know they aren't paying the HOA)... So because Pinal County needed more revenue they raised taxes (liberal move), because they raised taxes, people lost their houses, because people lost their houses the county doesn't get the property tax, and revenue goes down to the county. OPPOSITE EFFECT. Now what if they would have lowered taxes on the rich evil building company and left the property taxes low (actually lowered) them on individual homes. More houses get built, people move from Maricopa (higher taxes) to Pinal county, revenue goes up (conservative move). Ahhh! let's review Liberals punish their constituents for the governments overspending by raising taxes, this leads to less revenue or opposite outcome from what was needed. Conservatives make up for bad spending by stimulating growth (remove obstructive government policies to encourage growth), thus raising revenue and than follow it up with more Conservative spending next time (we hope). Anyway what you think will happen (liberals) is very short sighted.

Conservative Underground
The Ronald Reagan Conservative Underground begins today. Stay strong, don't let your heart be troubled. Also don't accept it. Just peacefully fight it. Start in your area. Reagan conservativism is the only safe way. Small government, low taxes, private permanent jobs and protection of life. What part don't people get? Why would we want to raise our taxes, create temporary government jobs and allow 3rd trimester abortions? WHY? I don't get it. Do you want to know who I blame? MIKE HUCKABEE! Yep that's right. Here's my thinking. If he would have been honorable and just dropped out when he had no chance, but no he stayed in and made problems for Mitt and made a pact with the lettuce McCain folks and Mitt was sunk. If you don't remember go read the archives about Super Tuesday and see what happened in West Virginia that caused so much "perception" that Mitt was done. Then Huckabee won a few south states and "handed" it to lettuce. Mitt would have run a much better campaign than Mac. He wouldn't have had the economy issue. Think about it. If Mitt was the man do you think these economy issues would have been a weakness for the GOP? uh NO! Oh if we could just rewind. This spread the wealth around would have been shot down so quick by Romney but John "weak on the economy" McCain doesn't have the experience or the ability to do it. NEVER nominate a senator. Jeez. It's so easy to see now. Start the underground folks! We have 4 years to find someone who we can get behind and if it's Mike Huckabee I'm moving to a desert island. Who's coming?
