Musings, rants, rambling, general nonsense

Meet, Greet, Eat, Repeat

We had our March gathering of Conservative Arizona Bloggers Saturday at Four Peaks in Tempe. I think a good time was had by all. The conversation was lively, as was to be expected with this group.

It wasn’t all about saving the world, though. We had to touch on the other critical issues of the day, like what in the heck was Jesse James thinking? He’s married to Sandra-freakin-Bullock, for goodness sake, America’s sweetheart. Which led, as most discussions of Ms Bullock do with me, to Roselyn Sanchez, “the Latino Sandra Bullock”. We had to cover peripeteia, since that video was sent to me by MzVRWC who was there with her husband, Capitalist Pig. Macker was there, and we finally got the opportunity to meet the lovely Mrs Macker. Exurban League‘s Kevin & Steve were there, and Rachel from Intellectual Conservative.

We did eventually get down to the real stuff, the issues that move us to action. Health care figured prominently, of course, and we also covered problems both local and national.

Elections are definitely on everyone’s mind, as there are many more vulnerable seats thanks to this unprecedented amount of government growth and unbelievable groundswell of resistance from the American people. People from all political parties and all income groups have seen this for what it is and are looking for ways to make their voices heard, looking for ways to turn the tide on government’s ever-expanding grip on our lives.

Vernon ParkerOn that note, a few hours into our blogfest we got a visit from Vernon Parker, fresh from the Grand Opening of his new campaign headquarters. He has set himself apart in a very crowded race to fill the AZCD3 seat that is currently held by the retiring John Shadegg. The folks we elect to send to D.C. in November must be men and women worthy of our trust. Men and women who will work to repeal the atrocity rammed through this weekend. Men and women who will recognize that continued government bloat can not be allowed. Mr. Parker seems to be one of those men.

It was nice to be able to speak to him in such a casual, non-campaign-y environment. I just wish I had been a little less casual – I never got around to asking him the questions I wanted to. I really should have, I live in AZCD3. Thankfully others were more on the ball so I got a good idea of his stance on the big things.

Including his stance on the 2nd Amendment (pro), which we will be celebrating with next month’s blogger gathering, a Meet Up/Shoot Up at Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club.
