Lots of good people live there.

3. I live here, I'm liberal, and I like it. |

I meet people from all over the country and all over the world. We have lots of sunshine and beautiful scenery from deserts to mountains to pine forests. We have good and we have bad.
I'd say it's much like many places I've been around the country.

5. Have been many times, from Walpi in Hopi country to Tucson |
|
It's a beautiful and interesting place, and I'd gladly return. Judging a place by its politics wouldn't put the best light on much of the world, let alone Arizona.

Indiana is hardly a bastion of liberalism and there's a crank from the Indy suburb of Carmel that wants to implement a tough local immigration law too. But thankfully, the Dems have outmaneuvered him every time he's tried it and local business support is lukewarm to say the least.
Still...as a lawyer, this law seems so bizarre and with all the Latinos in Arizona, I guess I'm wondering how in the hell something like this could happen. Is it the drug stuff on the border that has people scared?

9. The Most Beautiful Desert in the World... |

inhabited by some of the dumbest, meanest, richest, craziest MFer's in America.
How quickly we forget; This is the state the decided it was better to lose the Superbowl than let MLK's B-Day a holiday.
This is the state that elected a used car salesman as governor and was shocked when he turned out to be a thief.
This is the state that was so sick of coming in third, they dedicated years to beating out Mississippi for the worst education system in the nation.
This is the state that decided those pansy-ass pussies in 19th century Tombstone were too timid and knew nothing about guns when they banned them from bars.
This state that was once represented by people like George Hunt, Isabella Greenway, Carl Hayden, and even Barry Goldwater, now chooses Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio as their face. :shrug:
