A reminder that proponents of Prop 102 lied to Arizona in 2008
In 2006 Prop 107 would have added the following words to the Arizona State Constitution: “To preserve and protect marriage in this state, only a union between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage by this state or its political subdivisions and no legal status for unmarried persons shall [...]
The AZ Democratic Party is neither Tammany Hall nor a group of venture capitalists
This editorial appeared in Saturday’s AZ Republic. Nomiki Konst was a candidate for Congress in CD2 (Ron Barber’s seat) and claims she was “pushed out” of the race. In a year when Democrats triumphed against the odds, Arizona Democrats blew it. President Barack Obama built an historic victory by continuing the construction of a coalition [...]
Jeff Flake’s lame and insecure attacks on Richard Carmona

The team did a thorough job vetting all the complaints and they go far beyond the domestic violence allegations most of us are aware of. Patterson [...]
But I thought they were all for the individual!
Michael Bryan of Blog for Arizona shares Republican CD8 Congressional candidate Frank Antenori’s statement about how we leftists are ripping people from the bosoms of their families: “The family is the core unit that makes this country great. And if you dismantle it, like the left loves to do—they love to divide and conquer. They [...]
Tomorrow is a big day!
We’ve been moving all weekend so I didn’t have a chance to post and I’m exhausted from it all so I don’t have the energy to opine about everything (and it’s quite a lot) going on in AZ. But allow me to take this moment to express hope and confidence that the following will happen [...]
