I fear for my state. The video posted below by SoundAdvice is disturbing and very important for every voter to see before the August 24th Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary. If you know someone who has not yet voted on Prop. 100, please show them this video and have them read the transcript I provide below before the May 18th special election. This video is guaranteed to motivate the apathetic voter to rally to the “NO on 100” side and show up to cast their ballot in person on Tuesday.
The Buz Mills campaign, please, carefully and fairly edit this spectacle down to 60 seconds and broadcast it on every Arizona television station. You have the resources. As a man who believes he has what it takes to lead us through these terrible economic times, you have a duty to Republicans and to Arizona to ensure Gov. Brewer never again takes the oath of office as Arizona’s governor. There will be plenty of time to sort out Dean Martin and John Munger. Expose Brewer now before it’s too late.
When I first watched it, I found the sound in the explosive Brewer Verbal Assault Video a little hard to make out. So, I decided to create a transcript to clearly reveal the true offensiveness and creepiness of Brewer’s unprofessional and thoroughly inappropriate rant.
Please make sure this video and transcript get wide distribution before Tuesday’s important vote. I’m honestly unsettled about having that woman in a position of trust and responsibility. It might be too late to defeat Prop. 100 with all those early ballots already submitted. But it is not too late to save our state from an over-her-head political flunky who has risen far, far beyond her Peter Principle level.

TRANSCRIPT:
[The exchange is largely inaudible until Voter holds up a penny in her left hand while Gov. Jan Brewer clutches her on her right side in an awkward embrace]
VOTER: Penny tax, Penny tax!
BREWER: You vote “yes.”
[Voter holds up her hand where “NO on 100” is written in marker on her palm]
VOTER: I voted “no.” Sorry.
BREWER: Are they your children?
VOTER: These are my kids, yeah! No, I’m sorry. You know what? It’s been such a struggle for me. And if, if there would have been a pay cut for…
BREWER: You know what?
VOTER: If there would have been…
BREWER: Know what?
VOTER: …a pay cut for those fat-cat administrators…
BREWER: Let me tell you something … let me tell you… if you vote “no” it’s going to be more trouble for you because you are going to have uneducated children, you are not going to have any jobs in the state of Arizona and no recovery and who will you have to blame but yourself?
VOTER: You know what I heard? We can take the money for other programs…
[Brewer repeatedly points her finger or fingers at the chest of the voter throughout the following]
BREWER: That’s not true. Do you think that Jan Brewer… do you think… do you think that I, whose has never voted for a tax increase in my life, would have done that? Do you think that I, who has stayed up night after night after night, week after week after week, making myself sick – to say we can’t raise taxes, it just can’t make it work? There is no other way to turn our economy around. If you say “no” just because you don’t have the facts… and I don’t think you have the facts… if you had the facts, I think you would vote “yes.” You can’t do that to your children. You can’t do that to yourself and you can’t do that to the state of Arizona. It’s a one penny tax, temporary, for three years so we can correct the structural deficit.
VOTER: That would be fine with me if, if other people would take a pay cut. The $41 million in Paradise Valley…
BREWER: Who hasn’t taken… who hasn’t taken a pay cut?
VOTER: I think there needs to be…
BREWER: Who?
VOTER: There needs to be more…
BREWER: Who?
VOTER: More…
BREWER: Who? Who? Who hasn’t taken a pay cut?
VOTER: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I don’t want to… I’m sorry… [inaudible]
BREWER: I’m just… You know I’m just so concerned because you’ve got your children. I have no… no… I don’t have, but I don’t have children in the schools.
[Fade to disgust]
