I wonder if the AZ House and Senate will get together to override her veto on this gun legislation...

She also just vetoed an overwhelmingly passed bill that would require presidential candidates to prove their constititutional eligibility.

Nope. Cannot happen. She waited until the legislature had already adjorned.

Nope. Cannot happen. She waited until the legislature had already adjourned. She is also term-limited out. She cannot run again for Governor, so she has little to lose politically, and has curried favor with the "Progressives" if she decides to run for some other office.

We wanted to replace her. The fact is her streak of hard core conservatism was all a lie. She’s a tax and spend liberal who refused to sign a budget that balanced until it included the possibility of a tax hike (she wanted the tax hike in the budget but settled for it as a ballot measure which she then “encouraged” to pass by threatening to slash the education budget if it didn’t). She’d irritated the hell out of almost everyone, it was looking like she wasn’t even going to get the nomination in her first election (lt governor is appointed in AZ). So she went “conservative” by rubber stamping everything that the GOP controlled senate passed, got the nomination, got lucky with the dem opponent and is now in.

So since she’s comfortably an elected governor now she’s reverted to form, which is a total RINO. There’s nothing sudden about now, the sudden ka wham was when she started rubber stamping what came out of the senate.

Look, there is something called personal property rights, if a business owner does not want you own his property armed are unarmed he has that right. Just go somewhere else to do business and you both will be happy.

Thank you for your comments.

I do get it now. She turned out to be another political crooked liar. (Liar and crook go together. They can’t be separated.)

Thank you again.

(Gnashing teeth.)

This has nothing to do with private property. This bill is about government (public) facilities.

What is it about conservatism and politicians that they just cannot seem to be consistent?

Politicians are by nature and necessity Media creatures. The "Progressives" or the "MSM", still own most of the media. When people who you rely on to stay in office are bombarding you with the message that you are wrong and need to change, day and night, incessantly, and continuously looking for any chink in your armor to bring you down, you might find it hard to be consistent as well. We are winning, but only because we now have a small amount of media to fight back with. If we could gain even 25% of the media, we would win 75% of the political races in the country.

I believe that you are correct. I saw an earlier article in which she stated that the legislation was so poorly written that it could put law-abiding concealed carriers at legal risk. I did not read the details of the bill, but if that’s true, then she had her citizens’ best interests at heart.

If this were the only pro-rights bill she vetoed this year, I'd be willing to accept that explanation without question. But she's vetoed every single one, with the exception of the stupid and symbolic adoption of a state firearm, after signing all of them last year. She's also vetoed other bills the intent of which was good (although I haven't taken the time to investigate the details). She's acting exactly like someone being blackmailed by liberals.

“They obviously got something on her.”

You may be right.

1. If they have something on her; it is real juicy and very embarrassing.

2. Either she or her someone in her family is under serious threat.

3. Or she is just a RINO!

If in the future she announces she is not running again; to spend more time with her family. Then one or two above would apply.

Then again I could be all wrong...just speculating.

Uh, dude, this is about facilities bought an paid for by Brewer's gun owning employers. How dare she bar the facilities' owners?

>>I tongue kissed Mary Sue in the 9th grade (and her sister too!)

>FYI, couldn’t care less. But if at 30 years old, you do the same thing to Mary Sue the 9th grader and you’re running for office, then I care about it.

Doesn’t that really depend on the number of times Mary Sue has repeated 9th Grade?

No there isn’t. There haven’t been for a half-decade when the Supreme Court declared that it is A-OK for a government to seize someone’s property and turn it over to a private developer based on *projected* tax-revenue increase.

I don’t pretend to know what’s in this Governor’s mind, but let us reason.

If it was passed and not enforced, there would be potential for lawsuits from the wrong people. Wouldn’t just one wacko shooter getting through and maiming some socialist would set up an indefensible pretext?

If it was pass AND enforced, where would the money come from for the equipment? How would this help the people of Arizona?

That's funny.

Probably have to question how many times our illustrious candidate had to repeat as well...
