I don't think for a minute that Brewer will sign the bigot bill

[cali]

she's vetoed similar legislation. the business community is begging her to veto it and even repuke pigs who voted for it are now asking her to veto it.

stupid pieces of pig shit legislators did nothing but get a lot of bad press and look like the moron haters that they are.

congrats, assholes.

[jsr]

1. The moneyed class has spoken, and she will obey

[Earth_First]

5. Yep.

"Yes, master..."

Fortunately, Roll Calls have consequences...

[Richardo]

2. Well, they did get Tea Party cred to put in their campaign literature for all-important primaries...

Instead of governing, they're smearing on their kabuki makeup in every race in the country.

[11 Bravo]

3. I agree. She's a horrible person, but I don't think she's as ...

flat-out, brain-dead stupid as say a Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, or Louie Gohmert.

[cali]

4. lol. good comparisons. and talk about damning with faint praise!

[NYC Liberal]

9. Yep. She won't do it for any moral reasons...

it's all about $$$.

[bullwinkle428]

6. CONFIRMED - they just mentioned on the Stephanie Miller show that

she plans to veto the bill today at 4:20 P.M. MST.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. 4:20; there's a kind of poetic irony to that. n/t

[sufrommich]

7. I don't think she will either.

All the vote did was give the morons who woo the Tea Partiers their street cred. Lovely base you got there,GOP.

[HappyMe]

8. She probably won't.

She's still a nasty person.

[longship]

11. She also could let it go into law without her signature.

By simply doing nothing. That, IMHO, would be a worst case scenerio. Not likely, but that governor is a bit of a wild card.

[cali]

13. she's just said she'll veto it. Both Flake and McCain very publically

said she should. NO way she was going to sign it or let it become law under the extant circumstances.

[Lex]

12. If Brewer vetoes it, then can the AZ legislature over-ride her veto?

Or is the point that they won't over-ride her veto so it dies?

[cali]

14. they won't and I don't think they have the votes even if they wanted to.

[Lex]

15. thanks . . .

[Pretzel_Warrior]

16. can you express yourself with out cursing every other word?

[cali]

21. sure. obviously. but I like to fucking curse. a fucking whole fucking fuckiity fuck shit

lot.

[dilby]

17. The bill is pointless.

Gays are not a protected class under anti-discrimination laws in Arizona, even without this bill businesses can still discriminate based on sexual preference or gender identification in Arizona.

[MineralMan]

18. I'm sure she'll veto it. Those who introduced it and voted for it

have gotten their publicity. Now, she will veto it to save her own ass. It's all a planned thing, I believe.

[cali]

22. I wouldn't be shocked if it were planned. ugh. ugh. ugh.

[MineralMan]

23. It's a mid-term election year.

Lots of posturing going on by right wing Republicans, and stupid bills like this one are being introduced everywhere by them. Expect much more of this during the run-up to the election.

Positioning themselves for an election campaign is standard practice for these morons. They don't really care whether the bill is passed or nor, or whether a Governor vetoes it. They just want their name on it for their teabagger constituents to see.

[Sheepshank]

19. I can't believe that I actually agree with you on something!!!

I'm pretty sure She is going to make those legislators sweat it out, since so many of them are back tracking too... but will sign in the end.

[Bombero1956]

20. As I've said before

She will veto the bill but not for the right reason, she will veto it because of the almighty dollar. Groups who were planning conventions in the state and the possible loss of the Super Bowl.

[Erose999]

24. Its about the money for Gov. Baconface. There are no laws in AZ preventing LGBT discrimination as is

this was just about local bigots trying to rack up publicity in an election year.

I suspect the similar law in GA will suffer the same fate. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

[Jamastiene]

25. I hope you are right.

That would be nice if the adults would take over and veto more often when legislators go on their anti-gay legislating binges.

[vi5]

26. They got exactly what they wanted.

They go their hard right/tea party/crazy cred by being able to say "We voted for it!" but then when it's vetoed they don't get any of the blame and it doesn't go against their right wing ratings.

[Politicalboi]

27. She would sign it if

There wasn't so much backlash. I "almost" hope she does sign it. Let's see what happens. Arizona is crazy enough. If not Arizona, I'm sure some other Red state will try this.
