Republicans have controlled the Arizona House since 1967 -- 42 years. And with a few short-lived exceptions, Republicans have controlled the Arizona Senate during the same period of time. Arizona's governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, have been hostage to Republican legislators.
With this kind of iron-fisted control over [...]

Nothing is ever the fault of Republicans (just ask our governor and legislators). And nobody shirks personal responsibility better than Sarah Palin. "True Americans" (white American Christian conservatives) are the true victims. And Sarah Palin in 2012 would allow conservatives to snatch "victimry" from the jaws of their defeat.

The Special Session will begin Tuesday afternoon. My sources say that the Republicans are still short a vote and will have to play "Let's Make a Deal." Howard Fischer, however, says the GOP has the votes and maybe some Democrats to spare. Budget, Rio Nuevo on' [...]
"Feel lucky punk? Well, do ya?"While loathed by the Left, Dick Cheney remains remarkably popular among conservative Republicans. Some pundits are wondering if the former vice president might be setting his sights on the Oval Office.

(It is worth knowing that O’Reilly, even when he is right, still shows himself to be an idiot. How does Shadegg become si-DAYG?)

If you missed the House debate on the health care bill Saturday night, you missed the GOP gone wild and behaving badly towards the Democratic Women's Caucus. Is this how Republicans treat women in their own caucus? Is this how they treat their wife, daughter, mother? The GOP' [...]
Emerging high on the of list of moderate Republicans facing possible Scozzafavacation is Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who is seeking the Senate seat vacated by Mel Martinez. Last week the Family Research Council PAC and now the Club for Growth announced they are backing [...] 
At the behest of Rep. Michele Bachmann (Kook-Minn), House Republicans joined the teabagger crowd on the West Front of the Capital yesterday for a hate fest about health care reform. In addition to waiving the usual signs depicting Obama as a clown, monkey, Nazi, etc., the teabaggers [...] 
What a difference a half an hour can make. At nine, Mari Herreras wrote about “Happy Republicans,” now even Nina Trasoff (whose numbers were giving Dems the vapors early in the evening) is above 50%. Stay tuned to this station for news and official information.
