She has almost certainly been threatened. You and I have no idea what Evil the John McCains of this world are capable of.
I'd like to state the truth as I see it having followed all this from the git-go.
First, Brewer is not a Conservative and has been at odds with our AZ Conservative-led Legislature since she was moved up into Napolitano's Gov. seat.
She, along with Kyl endorsed McCain right out of the chute. Why, because Jan is on the same wave-length as McCain. Her campaign was faltering badly and the majority of we Conservatives here in AZ were going full-out for Dean Martin, who not only is very strong on the illegal alien issue but is heads and then some above Brewer in the fiscal area.
Then along came SB1070 and Brewer saw her "golden egg" and signed the Bill knowing that 70% of Arizonans were much in favor of it. Once it gained national attention, Brewer had no choice except to go out gung-ho on pushing to get our border secured.
THIS put us in a dilemma....do we continue to stick with the wonderful Conservative or go with the issue that is at the top of many of our lists. Should Brewer lose after signing SB1070 and it being the talk of the Country, can anyone tell me that Obama and the Leftists wouldn't use her loss as an out regarding the illegal alien and border security?
They would be talking 24/7 on the MSM saying her loss was due to her hard stance on the border/illegal issue.
Dean Martin saw this the same way and bowed out of the race. He did it to save many of us the torture of tearing our hair out trying to decide what to do. Make no mistake, we Conservatives wanted Martin VERY much so, but Brewer saw her chance and jumped in for the brass ring.
She has none of us fooled and we know exactly what Jan is, has been and will be. She is no different than her friend McCain in that they both knew they had to take command of the illegal alien/border issue and they have. It's really that simple.
The one difference is that Brewer will be stuck here as Gov. in AZ where we citizens will hold her feet to the fire if she lets up on securing our border and I don't expect her to do so.
The reason being that her friend, John McCain, will be re-elected and he will go flying off to DC never to be seen in AZ again, where he will join his good buddy Lindsey and they will both be making a beeline to meet with Obama to plot out their plan. That will be when we hear from McCain that Obama has made great strides in securing our border (which will of course be the same old lie) and with that accomplished he will be sitting down in a bi-partisan meeting of the minds to work out a "reasonable" immigration reform Bill.
Brewer will give a sigh of relief for her friend McCain coming to her aid so that she can put the illegal/border issue to rest.
No doubt AZ citizens will come unglued because the whole problem will still be ours to live with, but we'll not have any recourse since the voters bought into the McCain "campaign" conservative lies. And I truly do not believe Brewer feels much different than McCain and will stick with the program till McCain bails her out.
I do not think Brewer had any idea of how this issue was going to baloon all over the Country and lucky for us here in AZ it has because it does keep her nose to the grindstone on getting our border secured...what kind of shoddy "security" she will end up accepting is unknown.
The "kiddie" fence we now have in spots is worthless and it's just money flushed down the toilet. Until someone gets serious and erects an Israeli type fence with BP outposts built in at intervals for true border security our southern border will remain wide open.
And this is how I see it all from my vantage point watching it all unfold. Not a pretty sight! Many, many AZ voters are just as naive and uninformed as those we see everywhere around our Country these years.
And we will have Independents voting in our Republican Primary so that doubles our wondering as to the outcome. If we only had Conservatives and moderate Republicans voting I would feel much more confident in the ouster of John McCain as I think we out-number the moderates here in AZ.
Right or wrong this is my two cents worth.....I never was a woman of few words...sigh...this is why I stay away from posting on the main board. I do apoligize for being long-winded!
Indeed we do not. That angry pic of him, and the tirade on the senate floor during amnesty was mild.
