Crazy Jack Harper

Crazy Jack Harper tells people he was a “sniper” in the Army.

The reality is that he was more of a “snipper”.  As in using scissors.  Or maybe a stapler.  And getting coffee for his boss.  And of course he got flowers or something quite special on Secretary’s Day.  

For two years, Crazy Jack fought the bad guys and shed a little blood due to an occasional paper cut as…a “Personnel Administration Specialist”.  A bureaucratic paper pusher.

Well, he must have been assigned somewhere dangerous, where life was rough and tumble, right?  Well, um, the 385th Aviation Group was located… right here in Phoenix, AZ.

Ah, that would explain the tumbleweeds he is hiding behind in his ‘snipper’ photo.  So scary.  Yikes.

Crazy Jack is sneaking a pay raise for himself!

Crazy Jack says that he wants to become Arizona Secretary of State in 2012…so he’s attempting to increase the pay by $25,000 while still in the legislature!  (Read this recent article.)  He’s trying to disguise this pay raise in a bill to increase pay for other elected officials.  Last week, Crazy Jack sent out an email telling everyone on his list that “It’s an unfulfilled goal to be the secretary of state.

How much more corruption is the public going to permit from Crazy Jack Harper??? 

A Decade of Dumbness

Crazy Jack is calling it quits!  And although that makes us sad, I’m sure we’ll find another ding dong who is an easy target.

His wife, who has earned the sole income in that family for at least 10 years and deserves a medal for bearing that burden, finally pressured Crazy Jack to get a real job. She knew that there was more about Crazy Jack that would be revealed to the public this next election.  Smart move: spare your family before being further publicly humiliated. 

But, on his way out the door, Crazy Jack has threatened to return…as a candidate for Secretary of State. (Why would anyone want this guy one heartbeat away from becoming Governor?)  Or he wants to become a US Ambassador.  (With what country would the US want to destroy its relations?)

So what are the qualifications for a US Ambassador?

  • One doesn’t need a college degree. (Crazy Jack passes the first requirement!) PASS
  • One must pass a written test. (Crazy Jack’s wife edits all of his wacky writings.) FAIL
  • One needs intercultural people skills.  Actual test question: “How many friends do you have from different cultural backgrounds?” (Crazy Jack, that means, for example, people who are not white and people who wear bed sheets won’t count.) FAIL
  • One must pass an oral test. (No, Crazy Jack, that doesn’t mean a trip to your dentist.)  The oral test is based on your experience. Bankrupt and pizza delivery guy are, um, interesting qualifications.  The oral test is also based on diplomacy and working with others.  Remember when you pulled the plug on the microphones while two Arizona State Senators were debating proposed legislation? Not the skills they’re looking for, Crazy Jack. FAIL
  • One must have linguistic skills. (Crazy Jack has linguistic skills…in not telling the truth!) PASS

Sorry, Crazy Jack, but the vote is 3-2 that you just won’t make it as a US Ambassador. But the good news is, with your prior experience as an executive assistant in the Army (Yes, we were able to locate your DD214 from the military…), you just might have the skills needed to be a secretary.  Crazy Jack, while you’re up, would you get me a cup of coffee, please?  (You probably heard that a lot in the Army…)

Crazy Jack, the Bankrupt Hypocrite

Crazy Jack Harper, under what rock have you been hiding?  We’ve sorta missed you!

Today’s episode finds Crazy Jack trying to eliminate a homeowner’s ability to walk away from their mortgage.  And he’s doing this on behalf of the Big Banks, according to an article in the Arizona Business Gazette.  Now, whether you agree or disagree with this idea, here’s the kicker: 

Crazy Jack Harper declared personal bankruptcy in 2004.  He walked away from his debts.  And he got to stick it to…the banks.  And to…the taxpayers.

Bankrupt Jack Harper had his STATE and FEDERAL taxes wiped away, including obligations to several banks.  And you wonder why banks wanted a bailout?  Because Harper stuck them with HIS bill!  We taxpayers have had to cover Harper’s irresponsible financial dealings.

Harper claimed $242,236 in secured claims and $770,167 in unsecured claims against personal property of $31,590, not counting his home, which was valued at about $300,000.  Add that up and you see why Harper went bankrupt. And that was in 2004 when the economy was doing great… (scroll down in this stream of articles to read Crazy Jack’s bankruptcy papers for yourself)

Not only has Crazy Jack declared bankruptcy, and stuck taxpayers and banks with his debts, but now he allegedly works for a mortgage company!  We use the term ‘work’ very loosely, because he’s yet to close any deal.  But now this raging hypocrite wants to close the door on the other schmucks who can’t pay their bills.  

Tsk tsk, Crazy Jack.

Harper Supports Car Thieves

Yep, you read that right. Last week in the House Judiciary Committee, Crazy Jack said: “We shouldn’t go forward with clogging our prisons with property crimes…that sometimes could be accidental.” 

He was referring to a proposal that would treat a person who keeps a rental car beyond the return date as one who has stolen the vehicle.  If a driver doesn’t return a vehicle at the due date and avoids calls to return the vehicle, what would you call that driver?  When this committee took the vote, Crazy Jack voted “no” on the proposal.  Soft on crime and soft in the head…

We thought we had completely covered the silliness that is Crazy Jack Harper.  But wait.  There is more…much more. Read this article for some more history on Crazy Jack.

And we’re looking forward to Crazy Jack’s next two years in the Arizona House of Representatives.  Crazy Jack was term-limited from the rare air and lofty position as a State Senator…only to run for the lowly House seat.  And that’s how one gets around voter-approved term limits…so that he can keep his job that pays $24,000 per year.

How ‘crazy’ is it that Harper equates himself - and his ethically-challenged behaviors - with conservative icons Vice President Dan Quayle and LT COL Oliver North?
Harper criticizes his democrat opponent for using the “publicly funded” campaign system.  Crazy Jack has used the same taxpayer-funded system for the past EIGHT YEARS.

Question: How is this article about a Democrat congresswoman shaking down lobbyists any different than our very own State Senator Jack Harper shaking down lobbyists?

Answer: It isn’t.

U.S. Congressman Refutes Another Harper Lie

To:                    LD4 Republicans
From:                Chairman Lyle Tuttle in behalf of Jeanette “Jet” Dubreil
Reg:                  False accusations         
 
U.S. Congressman Refutes Another Harper Lie

Legislative District 4 Republicans held a regular monthly meeting on August
16, 2010.  U.S. Congressman Trent Franks was the guest speaker. The next
day, The Arizona Capitol Times reported that Sheriff Joe Arpaio withdrew his
support for State Senator Jack Harper.

Harper responded by accusing Senate candidate Scott Bundgaard and LD4 GOP
Chairman Lyle Tuttle of trying to “strong-arm” Franks into distancing
himself from Harper.  Harper further stated that Bundgaard and Tuttle tried
to speak with Franks at the district meeting before and after Franks
addressed the Republicans, but that it was clear Franks wanted nothing to do
with them.

Congressman Franks publicly refuted another Harper lie.  On August 19th, Franks told listeners of the Crossroads with Van radio show:

“I was told of something that occurred that I want to set the record
straight. They said Lyle Tuttle and Scott Bundgaard had approached me
recently at a Legislative District meeting and tried to dissuade me from
supporting Jack Harper and that is absolutely not true.  Lyle Tuttle & Scott
Bundgaard have never spoken a negative word to me about Jack of any kind,
ever.”  

Franks added, “I hold Lyle Tuttle in the highest regard as well as Scott
Bundgaard.”  

Harper continues to lie to us in order to win election to the Arizona House.
Any candidate this desperate cannot be trusted.  Now, Harper has dragged
Congressman Franks into his web of deceit in an attempt to deceive us
further.

Listen for yourself to Congressman Franks on Van’s show.  It is about 5
minutes into an interview with U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth.

Harper Didn’t Pay State, Federal Taxes; Keeps Lying

Harper keeps lying to voters, this time on Facebook:

“Jack W. Harper August 18 at 9:14pm

That site was started by one of the candidiates for State Senate in my legislative District and his paid campaign anager updates it. Some of it is petty, some of it misleading, and one thing is doctored. A couple things are out-right lies.

The inportant thing to remember is that I definately paid all of my personal and business taxes in full and on time. That part is an out-right lie.”

Crazy, Bankrupt, Lying Jack Harper, you’ve never answered ANY question posed to you about the contents of this website.  Instead, you’ve launched personal attacks against 7 different people about this website! 

  • What is “petty”?
  • What is “misleading”?
  • What is “doctored”? 
  • What are “out-right lies”? 

It’s easy to see what IS true, because it is DOCUMENTED.  But we’d love to hear your side of the story.  Click on “Ask Me Anything” and we will publish exactly what you write.

Bankrupt Jack Harper had his STATE and FEDERAL taxes wiped away, including obligations to several banks.  And you wonder why banks wanted a bailout?  Because Harper stuck them with HIS bill!  We taxpayers have had to cover Harper’s irresponsible financial dealings.

Jack Harper continues to lie to voters.  And gets caught.  Over and over again.  Harper is unfit for public office.  With so many other good conservatives in the Legislative District Four House race, it’s time for the voters to dump this incumbent.  Dump Crazy Jack Harper.

Crazy Jack Harper has the inside scoop as to the Human Resource practices of the Arizona Republic.  Boy, can’t sneak anything by you, Crazy Jack.  Jack also said that being endorsed by the Arizona Republic is the “death” of conservatives.  And then Crazy Jack says that he was endorsed by the Republic.  Odd, but telling.
