good for her.

She had to veto it

She sat down with her team and tried to figure out if she could sign it to pander to the Tea Party and then have it overturned in a few months. They couldn't guarantee the case would be heard in the desired time frame so she did the nasty.

Now comes the hard part.

The apology tour with the likes of Limbaugh and Savage.

Three straight hours of refreshing news feeds.

She isn't dumb enough to do that. I can't stand her, but she got to be governor somehow.

happened. ... but she paints it up as some benevolent BS. The hatred is still ALL there in Arizona and I think it runs deep.

She's bad. She's among the worst of the lot. I can't say that she is totally stupid. She has stiff competition for the worst governor, though, and I still say she is in the running.

Throw these people up in the air and who sinks faster. Gravity says they will all fall at the same rate.

He should at least get honorable mention!

He's in the running too.

Actually, your guy gives some pretty stiff competition, but I think Christie might edge him out.

Maybe.

we have a medicate fraud expert running the state.

being elected from Arizona to Congress? She is the first openly bisexual person elected to the U.S. Congress.

Guess my Congressional district is just filled with hate. I just love it when folks paint Arizona with a broad brush. Guess folks can't even name the former mayor of Tempe who just happened to be gay.

I am just to the point where I am fed up with everyone on both sides of the political spectrum bashing AZ.

knew he was like EF Hutton.

People listen to George--he's interesting!

Oh, MYYYYYY!

Love it!

saying "thank you governor,have a lot of fun"? Did anyone else see that?

when she should have been back home addressing the situation.

one huge sinkhole they had created. It's band aids over innate hatred by many in AZ about a lot of things.

Only way to get them is the wallet.

n/t

The anger will just be massive (or, they will start labeling the CoC a leftwing org lol).

Once businesses realized it would hurt them, well, enough said.

but she's smart enough to know it would have hurt her state economically if she signed that bill.

If she even has one.

It's sad.

Signing this bill would have killed any chance of reelection, even if she is able to successfully argue that she's not term-limited. This was purely political.

She isn't idiotic enough or politically unsavvy enough to let that go through. I can't stand her, but she isn't stupid.

As Josh Marshall at TPM says, marriage equality will be the law of the land before Obama leaves office. I agree with that. There is no turning back.

but she is politically savvy enough to see that it would cost AZ money.

And she showed herself weak for waiting this long and not taking a stand from the start.

I doubt she really cares much about the LGBT community....but she sure cares about money.

Next up...Georgia?

of bullshit by these retrograde states.

travesty

so many things, and the critters they elect into office.

First the good news from TX and now from AZ ...

also a "spineless homosexual ganglia",I have no idea what that means.

"Spineless homosexual ganglia".

I still don't get it.

a word like ganglia? And they spelled it right? I am astonished.

I suppose they learned it because the doctor said that they were a ganglion cyst or something.

Wow. Some freeper just threw a couple of words together because it sounded good.

did this out of office.

or something like that....

follows suit with Brewer and also extends Medicaid, which is needed by a few jobless people that I know of who desperately need it and cannot afford health insurance.

Brewer knew this full well, and I doubt she self-deliberated much with her decision.

Nothing has changed. The majority in the AZ house passed this bill. The majority of the AZ senate passed this bill. AZ voters voted these majorities into power. The people that wanted this DoS attack bill still have all the power. The people that voted for the "Papers please!" law still have all the power. WE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE THE HATE AND IGNORANCE OF THE gOP ONE DAY MORE.

It's done. Thank Gawd!

Even if they don't, given the political climate in AZ, I don't see why it still shouldn't be avoided. Same with states with similar political situations.

Gotta hope!
