Should Arizona be allowed to have a Tea Party license plate?

Click here to vote!

I, for one, think it's outrageous.

The governor claiming it's not partisan is preposterous.

1. If it has a mad hatter logo - maybe

[Drale]

2. When they are designated a Terror group

it will just make them easier to round up. :rofl: In all seriousness though, it is ridiculous and just proves the repukes biased. If we wanted Democratic plates or Progressive or something like that, they would have a heart attack.

3. Good way to tell who the psychos are, similar to political yard signs. I voted no though. n/t

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

4. I voted yes. They should have the right to ruin their state

anyway that they can and by all accounts are doing a good job of it.

[bluedave]

5. yes

I'd like them able to spot without listening to them.

[izquierdista]

6. The already have their own shirts

[Curmudgeoness]

7. I voted no. I don't want anyone to have a new reason

to feel persecuted. Everyone who flips them off because they can't drive will be accused of doing it because they are patriots.

8. Should they be able to have a Nazi plate? Or a KKK plate?

[saras]

9. Can I have a Symbionese Liberation Army license?

They're nonpartisan.

10. Arizona is quickly losing it. I just hope Kentucky never joins that lunatic fringe.

We do have McConnell and Paul as Senators. It is a scary time. I feel for you Arizona Dems. Can we help?

[Jackpine Radical]

11. Sure--if I can have a Socialist plate.

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. Only if Arpaio ends up making them - nm

[ohbill]

13. Absolutely not.

If the Tea Party wants their own license plates, they can build their own license plate factory, hire their own employees, and build their own roads to drive them on. (They should also build their own cars, but I won’t go that far.)

Have the entire operation under a corporation where shareholders determine how much a license and a plate should be.

Conservatively, I’d say the startup costs would be about $10 million and maintenance costs for all those private roads would be at least $20 million per year. If there are only five thousand people who would even bother buying the plate, the cost of the plate should be $4000 per year.

14. Sure. Makes them easier to spot. n/t

[Demeter]

15. I'd consider it a useful public service

Like identifying people with contagion, or homicidal tendencies. Branding the rabid animals, if you can't treat them, isolate them, or eliminate them.....

(you'd have to be insane to buy such a license plate to begin with)

[ladywnch]

16. if people want to put bullseyes on their cars, who are we to say 'no'. n/t

[Veronica.Franco]

17. As long as they want to run off all their tourism ....

from California and elsewhere ... go ahead, STOOGES, wear your tea party plates well ... it'll cost them MILLIONS a year in revenue ...

18. Arizona progressives are on an island here

Gov. Brewer is a nutcase, without question. She vetoed the proposed "birther" bill, which would have required any candidate for President to prove their natural born citizenship before they could be eligible to be placed on an Arizona ballot because she felt it gave too much control to the person deciding what qualified and what didn't. She, of course, never mentioned that we have a Federal Government that does this already, thus making the new law unnecessary. That is, of course because we specialize in redundant laws that we create just to make a spectacle of ourselves.

SB 1070, the "immigration" bill, tried to put pressure on local law enforcement to make sure they were enforcing the current immigration laws as strictly as they could, almost encouraging them to profile Hispanic people in an effort to "do what the federal government has failed to do". The federal government has profiled people here since our formation, haven't any of these people read history? The problem is the federal government is not currently profiling the people bothering Brewer, so we had to pass a piece of mindless legislation, only to see it immediately halted by people utilizing logic.

We have a state gun now, the colt army revolver. YEE HAW!!! Wait, don't all states have a state gun? How else can you shoot the state bird?

We have Senate President Russell Pearce, who would love to see slavery make a return so he could at least keep the "illegals" in their rightful place.

It is a haven for the Tea Party and their nonsense. This is why, in addition to allowing for the creation of the Gadsden flag license plate, Brewer also signed into law a provision allowing homeowners to fly the Gadsden flag, regardless of any local restrictions, such as home owner association rules, or local municipality regulations. This provision had previously been limited to the American flag and military flags on a year round basis.

She is able to get away with it by claiming that the Gadsden flag has roots that are patriotic in nature, not partisan. It is, without question, nonsense, but when your legislature is dominated by Republicans who know they need to appease this new fringe group that has hijacked the party, this is what happens.

Arizona is a beautiful state with lots to offer, and I love living here, so long as I don't have to be reminded of the nature of the police state Brewer and Pearce are trying to create in the name of our constitution.
