Who’s the “Carpetbagger”?

So, Arizona Republicans call Incumbent Democrat Anne Kirkpatrick a “carpetbagger” because she’s from Phoenix and only rented an apartment in Tucson to get elected to Congress in CD 2. 
But
car salesman Republican Jim Click (of “Howdy Folks! I’m Jim Click from Jim Click Chevrolet!”, his fellow millionaire Money Cartel members (like Mr. Barret of “Jackson-Barret Custom Car Auctions in Phoenix) pay a D.C. lobbyist (named Shay) to come to Tucson to run for the same office….?  WHO’S THE CARPETBAGGER? Answer: Both Candidates AND their moneyed backers who can afford the most loyal indentured servants money can buy. 
U.S. Senate Chairman McConnell as the RNC purser determines who runs (or is appointed in McSally’s case) in Phoenix.  Jim Click and his cartel determines who runs (or at least has the $$$ to win the Republican. Primary (which his “boy” has every time) in CD2. 
Marxism was a reaction to this form of monopolistic capitalism. This form of political robbery has been the source of exploited perceived legitimate grievances by insurgents all over the world. “But Jim Click does a lot of good in the community!” So do drug cartels – at a price.  So the fix was in for Arizona CD2 when Jim-Click- from-Jim-Click-Chevrolet brought in his political ringer and plopped down $300,000.00 to ensure his “boy” won the Republican primary. 

Q. Why does the Republican controlled Arizona State legislature allow candidates to run for office in districts they don’t live in?

Q.  Why, when Arizona CD2 (and Arizona in general) is equally divided between Republicans, Democrats and Independents (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) , are Independent candidates required to obtain three times as many nominating petition signatures?

Despite the lie by omission from my former campaign “consultant” that this wasn’t a mission stopper as a new candidate for this office I smelled a rat and withdrew my candidacy (see “Why I Quit Campaigning for Congress).  She told me Jim-Click-from-Jim-Click-Chevrolet’s “boy” had never “won” any previous elections.  What she conveniently avoided telling me was Jim Click’s “boy” HAD won all the primaries.  Perhaps, as a financially insolvent “slime bucket” (her words not mine) campaign staffer she was going to siphon my personal investment in my campaign chest empty before (if ever) telling me that once Jim Click brought a candidate in the race the primary for any other candidate was lost (as was their investment).  

De Tocqueville warned Americans about this – as did  George Washington. 
If you really believe in the Constitution don’t swallow the PC swill “the important thing is to get an ‘R’ in that seat”. Because as long as political offices are bought and both parties are dedicated to the continuance of Centralized Planning by the “Animals More Equal Than Others” there is no difference but in degree between the D and the R (or the S for that matter).
