I was corrected by a legislator today when I ribbed him today about the day off he and his colleagues had been given today. I said that they were a bunch of bums. He corrected me and said that they were, in fact, slackers.
They aren’t all taking the day off. Republican leaders are stuck up there […]
Jennifer Burns has announced that she is not running for re-election.
This is the culmination of her getting shunned by her party for, horror of horrors, actually voting with her constituency. Her constituency, by the way, is the oddly gerrymandered District 25, which is fairly conservative for a Democratic district. So, according to the political calculus […]
The otherwise level headed Greg Patterson has a post up on Espresso Pundit defending Karen Johnson. Patterson at least admits that the Republic labeling her an “ultraconservative” may be justified (ya think?), but then makes the ridiculous assertion that her views are echoed at Republican and Democratic district club meetings.
What sort of Democratic district club […]
Three, yes three, seperate people wrote me in response to this morning’s post on the generation gap in voting on prop. 107 back in 2006. That was the last attempt to outlaw gay marriage (actually, it would have had hardly any effect on the already illegal instituition of gay marriage, but would have had a […]
There has been a bit of a scramble on the part of local Democrats to find a candidate to run for State Senate in District 26 after Charlene Pesquiera’s withdrawl. It appears that they have settled on one: local consultant Cheryl Cage.
I first met Cage when she was part of an informal group of Wesley […]
For those of you following the latest hoopla regarding outlawing gay marriage in our great state (shh…don’t tell them it’s already illegal), I ran across an interesting set of statistics.
You can still find some exit poll numbers for 2006’s failed Protect Marriage Arizona effort at CNN’s website. We Grand Canyon State liberals love to point […]
One of those things that makes me laugh a wee bit: in their zeal to outlaw the already illegal institution of gay marriage, our Republican friends did a strike all on SCR 1042, which in its original form would have created a holiday to honor Viet-Nam veterans. That this bill wasn’t going anywhere and that they […]
Poking around yesterday, I found out that the Tim Bee ad that I wrote about the other day was paid for by an organization called the Education Finance Reform Group. As Daniel Scarpinato reported in this morning’s Star, this organization is funded by several local school districts to lobby the legislature.
So, why on earth is school district money […]
It looks like Kyrsten Sinema managed to put the kibosh to the plans that top Republicans had to put gay marriage on the ballot again.
How’d she do it? Well, by amending the bill to codify protections for domestic partners. Protections which, by the way, polling shows a majority of Arizonans would be in support of.
Sinema […]
Okay, y’all can stop e-mailing me: I’m doing a post about crAZyspace.
The Arizona Democratic Party debuted this site a few days ago to highlight some of the more moronic statements and actions by some of our Republican “leaders.” I guess they must have been worried about bandwidth, because I can think of at least a half-dozen more […]
