I am all in favor of Jan Brewer signing this bill.
It would be good for Colorado.
Thats wicked, davebarnes! On the other hand, one would think Arizona might have learned something from watching the Amendment 2 boycott here in Colorado. Guess not. It has to be a bad idea when even the aptly named Jeff Flake says it should not be signed into law. I guess I didn't know Arizona's treasury is so flush that it can withstand not only the boycott that is sure to follow, but the (most likely successful) lawsuits seeking to overturn this throwback to the "good old days".
Yep, looks like a nasty case of Gay Fever is sweeping through the GOP-controlled state legislatures.
Idaho wants to top both AZ and Kansas with 2 bills:

GOP is still trying to corner the market on Stoopid! And I'd say they've just about succeeded.
Funny how they spend half their time accusing Dems of unfairly labeling them anti-woman, anti-minority, anti-gay. Then they spend the other half proudly claiming those labels for themselves and bragging about it. Maybe they think the rest of us have cornered the market on stoopid.
A great piece of campaign lit or TV ad should compare the GOP agenda vs. Democratic agenda. Something like:
This is what GOP legislative priorities have been the last 4 years…
This is what Democratic legislative priorities have been in the last 4 years…
You can fill in the details, naturally. It won't be pretty for the GOTP wackos.
Let's bring back cap and trade!
I hear that will really help in the mid-terms.
Stoopid is right, Davie. I went and read it. It is Son of Amendment 2, and will suffer the same fate if passed. This one won't get past the Federal District Court level as the District Court will simply cite Romer v Evans and strike the thing down in its tracks. However, the damage to Idaho's business, tourism and convention business will have been done. If their legislature's that dumb, I shan't pity them
As I wrote a while back, Rand Paul said in response to a question during his 2008 Senatoral campaign, that he did not believe that governments should be able to discriminate, but he did feel that private property owners should have the right to decide to whom they would serve and to whom they would refuse service. This attitude. if enacted into law, would destroy the public accommodation laws that got rid of Jim Crow and allow all citizens of the US to have the equal protection of the law as guaranteed by the 14th amendment. The Arizona law awating the governor's veto or signature; the Kansas proposed law that may have died in the Kansas State Senate; and the public campaign waged by the Colorado right wing on behalf of the baker who would not create a wedding cake for a gay couple are all part of the same effort to change our constitution by weakening the 14th amendment. The success of the campaign to "reeducate" the public to allow discrimination on religious grounds can be seen by the fact that the Arizona legislature passed the law awaiting action by the Arizona governor.
It may only be the pressure from commercial interests that prevent the Arizona law from taking effect, but the power of the campaign to change public opinion should not be minimized.
Again, I urge that there be more than civil rights advocates, not just gay activities, engaged in a public campaign to defeat the effort to influence the public.
I don't think the AZ public has been "reeducated" at all. They voted in the bastards before they started making these arguments for SB1070 and this year's feel free to discriminate bill.
Sorry, d, but there's no "there" there.
Noise is being made about relocating the upcoming Super Bowl in Arizona…I hope they do.
How much longer will Americans tolerate the racism, sexism, and all around bigotry of todays' Republican party? They repeatedly show themselves to be the lying, hateful, people they really are. How anyone with a soul or a conscience can support this throwback gaggle of revisionists is beyond me.
And yet, DC, those throwback gaggle of revisonists control the House of Representatives, may well take back the US Senate; control 30 governorships, now, and control all state offices in 23 states. I suggest that we all try and figure out how these gaggle,etc, are so successful.
This comment was in response to PR.
This format is crazy….many comments ago, PR said that "there was no there, there." My comment about brands was in response to PR, not DC,
I hate this format. I think it is the work of moles from Red State.
I would like to take full credit, but can't.
We already know that. They have enormous sums of money and they lie and cheat.
And if your comment was to PR, why did you use my initials?
And you, of course, are the only one trying to figure out how they are successful. The rest of us are complacent idiots who don't care about our country and never challenge the right…(see: AQCC hearings…another crushing defeat for us complacent, do-nothing Dems.)
@DC,
I thought I was replying to your comment and then I thought I had replied to PR's comment. That is why I said I hate this format. I did not realize there was so much "traffic" on the thread and that my comments would not be posted in sync….
You are wrong, the rest of you are not "complacent idiots who don't care about our country and never challenge the right." However, you did say how these "g,etc" get public support was beyond you…..so I said that we all ought to figure out how they get the public support……
I argue that there is a propaganda campaign going on..and that advertising works…..because these "g…etc." are winning votes.
Why do you play the victim?? Focusing on me makes a lot of people, I guess, feel superior. Go right ahead.
Playing to prejudices and making them "okay" is an important part of an ongoing campaign from the radical right. If advertising did not work, we would all being using the exact same brand of soap.
Nothing but giving Sharia law a foothold
That is absolutely true.
What's the problem? They're just doing the bidding of the majority of their constituents, right? At least it's out in public, where we can all see it.
The American Taliban at work….
