Because It’s That Important, I Guess
Jump to Comments
Russell Pearce and Laura Knaperak are looking to call a special legislative session to discuss tearing down the 9-11 memorial. That’s right, it just can’t wait until January.
That’s not Teen Spirit, that smells like election year politics.
Why can’t this wait until January? Oh yeah, no guarantee they will both be there.
These folks in the legislature know that they stand, even in their rosiest scenarios, a pretty decent chance of having to deal with Janet Napolitano for another four years, right? This is a really good example of why voters seem to want to keep her in office.

Republicans using 9/11 for political purposes? Say it is not so!

Oh, I say let’s have that special session and let’s do it immediately. In fact, let’s televise the hearings.
I would absolutely love to see these morons bring the commissioners, who include 9/11 widow Donna Bird, firefighters like Billy Shield and Crystal Allman, and Marines like Viana Bruce, into a hearing room and say the same things to their faces that they apparently have no problem saying to the lapdog press.
Please, please, please commit political suicide by holding hearings in a special session Laura and Russell.
Pretty please with sugar on top!!!!

Oh man, I would take the day off from work to watch that in person.

The 9/11 memorial will be added to a list that already includes abortion, immigration and gay marriage as the hot buttons the GOP will push to divide and scare the electorate, as well as energize their conservative base.
Let’s hope that the dwindling herd of GOP moderates and the independents are just as angered by the politics of fear and division as they SHOULD BE!

Great, Elizabeth! You bring the drinks and I’ll bring chips & dip!
I just heard on the radio an interview with Billy Shields. Apparently, there were quite a few public hearings on the content/design of the memorial held all over the state. They were open to the public and were arranged to give everyone and anyone a chance to put their two cents in on the design.
Gee, I wonder if Len Munsil, Greg Patterson, Laura Knaperek or Russell Pearce attended any of them. Hmmm…
