Actually it isn’t that strange. Arizona has been moving gradually towards the middle over the last twenty years. The population has doubled in that time and a big part of that spike wasn’t old retirees who tended to be conservative, but a lot of younger families moving from blue states, etc. In 2008 McCain only received 53.4% of the vote here in Arizona, his sixth lowest vote total among the states he won. Now think about that, his home state was one of his least supportive states. Had McCain been from Texas, Florida, etc., he likely would have lost Arizona.

This state has a long history of very conservative, often racist politics and the supporters of those policies aren’t happy that they are consistently losing ground to moderates and liberals (simply termed as liberals in their tirades). Because of how the state legislature is set up conservatives still have a major majority in both houses but, when Napolitano was governor, she vetoed a lot of their stupidity. In fact she set the record for vetoes in the history of the state. You take her away, bring in Brewer who is a wing-nut’s wing-nut, and you see incredibly stupid legislation that was shut down by a reasonable governor make it out of the state house. At the same time you see an increase in non-conservative population as well as an increase in non-white population and the far white err, right is freaking out.

I am the only real option to the big government spenders.

I take that back. Mc may have voted for the “grant” programs and taken money from the company that is included in the video, but he did not do the infomercial to give your hard earned tax dollars to people who never intend to pay you back.

Are you mad yet?

Glad Beck mentioned JD. It just solidifies him in the consciousness of more Americans.

Beck is not the end-all be-all of conservatism…at all!

An endorsement from Beck for Hayworth is like…ho hum!

Beck shouldn’t overestimate his reach.

Michael Savage has come out for Hayworth!

How’s that?

Ha, ha!

Have you checked McCain’s ratings vs J.D.’s on spending?

I assume not!

Were the “earmarks” added to T.A.R.P. after it’s initial Congressional defeat “paid back”?

I await your answer!

The topic is not 1070 –which I was initially opposed to but read it, liked the changes made, and then I looked up case law and found that it actually IS Constitutional according as discovered by TWO UNANIMOUS Supreme Court Decisions… 1 in the 90′s and the other in 2005.

The topic is JD and Beck.

ps- I am NOT voting for Brewer.

It is my contention that this AZ law is not constitutional and will fail when challenged (unless, of course, they keep adding more amendments), pretty funny for this so called perfect law, that many internet blogs claim it was copied “Word for Word” from the Federal law, which I frankly do not believe, if it was then no amendments would have been made, right?, of course.

As for the undocumented workers, as was attributed to Ronald Reagan “It’s the Economy, Stupid”. When the economy is good we say let’s all celebrate “Cinco de Mayo, my brothers” but when the economy is down “it’s all your fault, you damn immigrant”. This too will pass. The real problem is the narcos, arms and people smugglers and that’s what the focus should be on.

Don’t you find it funny that no one ever voted for Brewer for Governor, it’s all about politics and getting elected, do not be fooled. Busy Brewer has passed S.B. 1070, no permit conceal weapons law, the famous Birthers law, banning Ethic studies law, (could she be behind the Mural in Prescott, Arizona) and if history is a lesson she should look up Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago (which failed when legally challenged) and the craziest one the boycotted Martin Luther King Day, not wanting another holiday, how crazy is that. I believe there is an undercurrent to their enactment of new laws, they real love following a distinct pattern. Poor Brewer, last week, she first she said her Dad had died in Germany fighting the Nazi in World War II (war ended 1945) and we find out her father was never in Germany and died in California in 1955 (watch the spin doctors go into overdrive) and then she went to Washington and came back empty as always, poor dear.

This is a McCainian attempt to create a story out of a non-story.

You might as well run a story that my father, who’s in the target elderly voting-block and has been a registered Republican since emigrating to the USA will also NOT endorse JD or Deakin… it matters not that my father’s been dead for 10 years, as long as it gets the job done, right?

This story [plant] is just more from McCain’s Progressive-playbook — the ends justifies the means.

I wish he campaigned this hard against Obama.
