Last week in my article Ruth McClung: Brought to you by the Republican Party Machine, I reported that the right-wing extremist political action committee (PAC) the Republican Majority Campaign was endorsing and raising money for McClung.
Less that 24 hours after I posted that story and when the Google searches for “Ruth McClung” were lighting up with that story, the website link to the Republican Majority Campaign’s blatantly racist fundraising efforts on McClung’s behalf (below) disappeared.
…the Republican Majority Campaign PAC fully endorses, stands behind, will fund-raise and campaign for Ruth with the fullest and utmost vigor we possess.
El temblando racista de (the quiverying racist of) Tucson, Sr. Grijalva, must be defeated at all costs. He is the first to call the race card at every turn. He is the racist, not we conservatives. He believes in, sponsors and promotes “La Raza” (the Mexican race) while we conservatives value all races equally. We have heard his silly racist name calling for decades now and it is time the electorate of the 7th Congressional District of Arizona tells him to shut up, go to Mexico City and cash in his race card where it may bring him five centavos.
We urge you to work hard, get in the trenches and fight and bring home victory of the glory of the United States, Arizona and Ruth McClung.
Meet Raúl Grijalva: Mexico’s “unofficial” Congressman from Arizona’s 7th district Grijalva is Mexico’s “unofficial” Member of Congress! This is the man who stabbed his constituents in the back by organizing an economic boycott of his own state, because he disagrees with the tough new anti-illegal alien measure signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer.
Thinking that some of you conspiracy theorists out there may think I was making this excerpt from the Republican Majority Campaign up, I started digging.
What I found was fascinating. The Republican Majority Campaign website is here, and it’s pretty thin. The fundraising website that I had found previously started with “rmcpac.com”. Now all pages for that website come up blank— not “page not found” but blank.
Digging a bit further, I Googled one of the more inflammatory statements in the excerpt above and found 2 right-wing bloggers who also had linked to the same Republican Majority Campaign McClung fundraising page that I had linked to. (They wanted you to donate to that PAC; I, on the other hand, wanted you to see what scumbags are raising money for her.)
Simranjeet Singh [Alternative Thinking Is Just the Beginning] even quotes the Republican Majority Campaign link that I did, has a “donate” link to their website [same URL as in my story], and includes a “thank you” from McClung for the Republican Majority Campaign’s efforts on her behalf. [Emphasis added.]
The Republican Majority Campaign has a well thought out program to create the defeat of Mr. Grijalva; use the button to the right should you wish to help.
When McClung wins in November we’ll let you know how we did it, maybe…Your efforts have resulted in a direct cash contribution to the McClung campaign and a rousing thank you from Ruth, as follows:
“I am excited to receive the endorsement of the Republican Majority Campaign PAC! RMCPAC is very selective in their endorsements. Some of the people they are currently supporting include big races like Sharron Angle for US Senate (Harry Reid’s NV seat), Scott Brown for US Senate (Ted Kennedy’s old MA seat), and at least 9 more Congressional and Senatoral candidates. I am proud and thankful that they have chosen to add me to their list of endorsements. Their endorsement states:
“… McClung could very well be the brightest star in the US’s southwest sky. She is a conservative, Gung-Ho Tea-Party Republican who seeks to unseat “progressive” Grijalva, a politician so far to the hard left that he is in the leadership of the progressive caucus. In this year of patriotic revulsion of Democratic hard left policies, we’re betting that McClung will pull off the upset of the decade…
“Thanks RMCPAC – and thanks eveyone for your support!”
Not to be content with one piece of corroborating evidence, I found the Desert Conservative website. He posted an e-mail communication from the Republican Majority Campaign which includes some of the text that had been on their now-blank web page.

Dear Fellow Patriot:
The United States is in the biggest crisis of its entire history!
Millions of illegal aliens are crossing our borders hell-bent on destroying our institutions, claiming the fruit of our labor and imposing a terrorizing forms of law upon us called sharia. They are NOT all coming from Mexico – many are coming from lands terrorized by muslim jihadis in the Mid-East!
While this is happening before our eyes, a pro-muslim, anti-Christian, president is watching, waiting and hoping that the ambitions of these illegal aliens are obtained by them, for our president also seems hell-bent on achieving exactly the same goals: claiming the fruit or our labor, imposing sharia upon us and destroying the carefully built-up machinery of democracy that millions of us have fought and died for over the last 234 years.
To make matters worse, the hugely corrupt and incompetent country of Mexico has placed its “Unofficial” Congressman – Raul Grijalva – at its beck-and-call. Grijalva is following the most corrupt, dirty and undemocratic campaigning practices imaginable – just like the drug cartels do in Mexico. Even while Sheriff Joe Arpaio is now under a murder contract from Mexican drug cartels, Arizona is under a death threat of millions of illegal aliens, all of whom are rabidly supported by the dupester Grijalva.
Grijalva is a leader of the pro-communist group of Members of Congress known as the “Progressive Caucus” but do NOT let the term “progressive” fool you. This word in todays hard-left terminology simply means “communist.” Hussein Obama is a “progressive” in the White House. Grijalva is a “progressive in the House of Representative and, YOU KNOW, that both of them are trying to destroy Arizona!
Ruth McClung is a conservative Republican seeking your vote to the U.S. House of Representatives in Arizona District 7. She deserves your vote and campaigning skills.She has been running since May of 2009 because, she says, “I cannot stand on the sidelines when politicians in Washington (like my opponent) are grabbing control of our personal freedoms, wrecking our economy, recklessly spending our money, and destroying America’s greatness. We need to return to limited government, personal responsibility and integrity, a strong work ethic, and opportunity for all. The American dream is to be self reliant and work to achieve the life that you want, not live off the government.”
She continued, “As a nation, we face many complex challenges requiring innovative solutions. My technical knowledge and expertise in scientific problem solving will be valuable in solving these problems”. We, as Americans and conservatives must support her!
She promises that she will take strong, decisive stands on border security and immigration, curbing out-of-control government debt, and promoting job creation through a free market economy and states, “I am committed to limiting our government and defending our Constitution. Working as a physicist, I understand the importance of finding the right solution instead of causing new problems. Maybe it does take a rocket scientist!”This is why the Republican Majority Campaign PAC fully endorses, stands behind, will fund-raise and campaign for Ruth with the fullest and utmost vigor we possess.
El temblando racista de (the quivering racist of) Tucson, Sr. Grijalva, must be defeated at all costs. He is the first to call the race card at every turn.

800-362-2723P. S. Please do not sit idly by and watch the ruination of this great nation. Of course, there are many, many appeals during this heated election period. But nowhere else in America is the difference between the forces of evil and good any more represented than in this 7th Congressional district race where a pro-Mexican takeover candidate who advocates granting illegal aliens immediate voting rights is being fought by a pro-American, conservative Tea-Party Republican. Only with your help will Mexico lose and America win.
I’m sure some of you Ruth apologists will try to make light of this, but I think it is pretty clear that McClung has racists backing her. Maybe that’s why she won’t pull or apologize for her racist print ad of Grijalva.
Of course, racism has nothing to do with it…………

Racism in our society is most brutally imposed in the prisons. To begin, the prisons are disproportionately represented by racial minorities. Black young men are largely missing from their communities because they are incarcerated. If you believe the reason for this is they are inclined to be criminals, then you are a racist. You do not have to apologize for it, you simply are. That is because, if you believe that this is the result of social conditions which cause this result, then you must become a reformer unless you are not at all humanitarian.

Everything. If it’s not something that benefits the rich and powerful then they blast it or stonewall it. And so many people just join right in with Obama being some muslim anti-Christ commie trying to tear down all that’s been accomplished throughout the history of the land as though such allegations represent the absolute truth rather than the most blatant of lies.

Seeking a republican majority??? When the national pundits and stories on the news say the Republican pick-up will be a minimum of 46 seats and there are even stories out there about who the next Speaker will be I really don’t think the term “seeking” is accurate. A victory by Ruth McClung will give us a Congressperson in the majority and much more clout. Additionally, Grijalva has burned so many bridges with McCain, Kyl, and his fellow delegation members there is little chance he can be effective. I even see he is going to be challenged by his fellow Democrats to head the House’s progessive coalition/caucus so he won’t even be on MSNBC anymore.

The title “Desperately seeking…” is a reference to a 1980s movie “Desperately seeking Susan,” where a bored housewife (Rosanna Arquette) places a classified ad looking for her quirky friend, Susan (played by Madonna). The bored housewife wants to leave her hum-drum life and have wild adventures with free-spirited Susan.
The “Republican Majority Campaign” (RMC) is a secretly funded extremist group (with obviously racist lingo and followers, as evidenced by the links I provided) that is raising funds for Ruth McClung. In the analogy, McClung is the bored housewife and the RMC is the wild and dangerous Susan. So, it’s a pun– although perhaps a bit obscure for people not into 1980s cult classics.
