Governor Jan Brewer's moment of sanity notwithstanding, the sad spectacle of Arizona's SB 1062 -- which would have given businesses and local governments a license to discriminate against gays -- is simply more proof that Republicans would rather focus on their extreme social agenda, at the expense of jobs.In fact, it's further proof that the GOP's obsession with bashing gays and regulating uteruses is itself impeding job growth in the states Republicans control.The fact that a lame-duck Republican Governor, with nothing more to fear from the Tea Party, vetoed SB 1062 is the exception that proves the trend.Consider that of all the Republicans in Arizona able to cast a vote on SB 1062 (i.e., legislators and the Governor), 94 percent of them voted for it -- despite massive outcry from moderate voters and the business community, who understood the devastating economic and social impact discrimination would have.
when republicans pick their hate of the decade the do so with blinders on and as a result become anal retentive and all else goes out the window the last 5 years has revealed their most destructive reign of hate and bigotry, they have told us they were not going to help Pres. and say no to everything he has anything to do with their goal sink him and to hell with America and Americans.
Consider another example reported by The Washington Post and others: Virginia Republican Senator Steve Martin, who recently referred to pregnant women as mere "Hosts" (though he did point out that, "Some refer to them as mothers"). Sen. Martin's words have been roundly condemned, but his policies are the law of the land in Virginia.Most of the state's abortion clinics have been shut down, thanks to legislators like Martin. Women who do seek an abortion are forced to undergo an invasive, medically unnecessary ultrasound.The original version of that law, supported nearly unanimously by Republican legislators, actually required the ultrasound to be performed using a 10-inch vaginal probe. By the time another lame-duck Republican governor (notice a pattern?) realized the bill might damage his legacy, Virginia was already a national laughingstock.Now consider Georgia, a state whose lightning-fast Latino growth could re-shape politics as it has in California. Rather than appealing to these new voters with a jobs-focused message, Georgia Republicans are pushing English-only and anti-DREAMer legislation this session, rightly noted by Atlanta Journal-Constitutioncolumnist Jay Bookman as "knee jerk short term thinking."
and Preibus and the boyz are still talking reaching out, letting others know about their embracing of their culture and including them in their talks, problem we don't want to be long to any org. that has people like him and the rest as members,
we don't want them much like they have never wanted us. they make these claims then one or two will jump up and say something counter but more true then the claims of Kumbaya.
