I was a guest on ‘The Rick Amato Show’ on KCBQ in San Diego Tuesday night to discuss The Daily Caller smearing bloggers, FTR Radio, Pamela Gorman and what makes me tick.

Last month, I along with a few peeps from the FTR Radio crew made my way to Vegas for Right Online. Needless to say a good time was had by all.
Over the course of the weekend we met a lot of people running for office. I really dislike talking to politicians. Most give off a used car salesman vibe.(My apologies to used car salesmen everywhere)
I will never forget a major candidate running for governor that I interviewed last year in Michigan. In the course of a quick 5 minute interview he must of used the word “grassroots” 62 times.
Me; “So why do you want to be governor.”
Him; “Well the grassroots of the grassroots makes me think that the grassroots of the grassroots is grassrootyness. Yes we can.”
I am sick of focus groups and opinion polls dictating what a politician thinks, says and does. One of the reasons why we loved Reagan so much is that he had a set of core beliefs that we knew would shape his worldview. That is leadership–making decisions by focus group is follow-ship.
Why am I bringing this up? That weekend at Right Online I met Pamela Gorman. Pamela is running for Congress in Arizona’s 3rd district. I had heard of Pamela after the fallout from her gun shooting campaign ad that almost made Keith Olbermann’s head explode.
She’s different.
She lets her core beliefs guide her actions and her words. I know I am not alone in believing in her, all the folks on the FTR Radio leadership team feel the same way.
There has been a lot written about the campaign in Arizona-3. Some of the best coverage of the dirty politics in this race can be found on the Arizona Right to Win Blog.
I highly recommend you check out that blog. I believe if Arizonans do their research they will realize that Pamela Gorman is the only grownup in the race.
She is conservative and will fight for the things we believe in; limited government, lower taxes, a balanced budget and secure borders. She is what we need in Congress right now, please vote for her tomorrow Arizona…
This week my special guest is Pamela Gorman. We talk about Ben Quayle and some guy named Moak. We also get in an in depth discussion about how much of a curse it is to be part of the “beautiful people.”

This is the new Pamela Gorman television ad. I wonder if Keith Olbermann can find a way to freak out about this commercial like he did the last ad? Maybe using a picture of Ronald Reagan will push him over the edge???
As many of you know, when it comes to the race for Congress in Arizona District 3 — I am in the tank for Pamela Gorman. Last Thursday was Pamela Gorman Day on FTR Radio — and it was a huge success. Unlike Katie Couric, I like to let you know up front that I’m biased.
She is running against nine other candidates. The most well known of her opponents is Ben Quayle.(son of former V.P. Dan Quayle)
Quayle just recently moved to Arizona. Fortunately, he picked a house in a congressional district that has an open seat. What are the odds?
There has been some play about a Quayle mail piece that had a photo of him with 2 kids in his lap. The impression was left to the casual reader that they are Quayle’s kids, they are not.
From RedState:
Quayle sent out a mail piece of him holding one young child with another in a seat. The caption under it reads, in part, “Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here.”
To be fair, the mail piece does not claim that the kids are Ben’s. But I’m sure that if it were to leave the impression on Arizona voters that the kids are his and that Quayle is a strong family man, his campaign staff would be okay with that.
So to sum up — Ben Quayle just moved to Arizona, got married, adopted a dog and is now running for Congress. Any more politician clichés available?
Get this man some babies to kiss and pass the apple pie! Stat!!!

Well kids, Pamela Gorman Day was a huge success. Yesterday her campaign coffers swelled to over 1 biiilllliooon dollars. Much of that credit goes to everyone that listened to FTR Radio’s wall to wall coverage of PamelaPalooza. Thank you!
The lead up to yesterday was fun. I thought it would be funny to make up a bunch of ridiculous statements about Pamela Gorman and tweet them with the hashtag #pamelagormanfunfacts. I heart Twitter.
Well it didn’t take long for me to gravitate to some old Chuck Norris fun facts. I repackaged some of them as Pamela Gorman fun facts and included a new car smell. Others joined in on the fun. It was pretty successful.
Later I found out that CQ Politics noticed our shenanigans-and wrote about them on CQPolitics.com. Fingers Malloy on CQ Politics? All I can say is- it’s about time.
From CQ Politics:
Random can be funny. Just ask “Fingers Malloy.”
Malloy came up with a clever way to invite listeners to tune into “Pamela Gorman Day” on his online radio show, “The Snark Factor.”
He tweeted fictional and clearly silly “fun facts” about Gorman, a Republican running for the House in Arizona’s 3rd district.
Then others joined in.
Here are the contributions to #pamelagormanfunfacts that made us LOL, groan, or both:
- “Crop circles are @PamelaGorman’s way of telling the world that sometimes corn needs to lie down.”
- “@PamelaGorman can win a game of Connect Four in only three moves.”
- “@PamelaGorman knows where Carmen Sandiego is.”
My thanks go out to Katherine Rizzo and CQ Politics. To read the entire post, click here.
Today is Pamela Gorman Day.
I remember my first Pamela Gorman Day like it was yesterday. The family and I got up early to decorate the tree with Arizona flags and pistols. The traditional Pamela Gorman Day feast was out of this world.
Most of you are probably wondering what’s usually served at a Pamela Gorman Day feast. It doesn’t matter what you eat on Pamela Gorman Day, as long as at one time the main course had parents.
This year Pamela Gorman Day is significant for many Americans. You see, Pamela is running for Congress in the 3RD district of Arizona. She is one of many people running against an inexperienced candidate that is very well funded, with a famous last name.
But Pamela is the type of candidate that conservatives can enthusiastically support. She has a strong record of fiscal responsibility and she is determined to secure our borders.
Not wanting to shortchange her constituents, Pamela resigned her seat in the Arizona State Senate to run for Congress. That my friends, shows character.
So today on FTR Radio, we are dedicating our broadcast schedule to all things Pamela Gorman. We did not make this decision casually, we believe in her.
Tune in today to learn more about this fantastic leader. If you like what you hear, check out her website and make a donation to her campaign. I know I will.
