2. Seriously, I just don't know. |

Between the racism, the obsession with guns, and the stupidity of the state legislature, why would anyone move here (willingly)? Arizona is dead last in per pupil expenditures and they want to cut education funding even further. We spend more on our prison system than education. Officials like Sheriff Joe are re-elected time after time. It's a sad and pathetic state of affairs.

My congressman is co-chair of the House Progressive Caucus. But to answer your question, maybe - hopefully - we're heading this-a-way: http://www.bandersnatch.com/bajaz.htm

Obama was so close he started advertising in McCain's home state.
What a difference a Republican governor makes. We must get Goddard elected for Governor. And we have to figure out a way to get rid of Russell Pearce. I bet the Dems in the Az Senate and House are going bonkers sitting thru all of this.
Nick- please don't use that word Retarded - okay? It's extremely offensive to those of us that have a loved one with Special Needs. Thanks :)

Who suffers from retardation.
It comes up once in a while out of my mouth like "it's gay".
Yet you'll see me in the LGBT forum :)

6. Oh Nick - what a sweetheart you are to foster a special child! |
|
My daughter has a chromosome abnormality. She's 22, visually impaired, delayed in all areas. I have learned so much from her. I just adore her - she has such a great attitude, loves everybody and always makes me laugh. So yeah, I am overly sensitive to the R word.

7. Nowhere as long as the Legislature is in thrall to Grover Norquist |

and that stupid Goldwater Institute. Old Barry must be turning over in his grave to have that place named for him.

8. Seems not just Arizona, but the whole country |
|
Look at how the tea party has grown and influenced the country. I wonder what kind of a hand they had in pressuring Arizona to pass this bill.
