I really liked him. I hope we can get a good conservative to replace him.
Gotta wonder what’s going around. Webb, Kyl, the idiot Lee, all in less than 24 hours?
Colonel, USAFR
I have the most horrible feeling they may try and get Giffords husband or someone involved in the shootings to run for this on the rat side. I would not put it past them to try it.
Don’t like losing the good ones.
He was compromised. Time for some new blood.
wrong one retiring
This is a shame.
Four terms in the house, 3 terms in the Senate.
Maybe he is one of the sane ones who think 25 years in government is enough.
It’ll be interesting to see who Arizona comes up with to replace him. Another pro-illegal aisle crosser?
Arpaio for senate???
Too bad. Wish him a happy retirement
A real loss to Arizona and our government...Jon Kyl is one of a hand full of Senators with integrity. Why are so many quitting - do they see the Union Take Over of America? Or are there other reasons at work. The country can’t afford to lose men like Kyl....pray for a good replacement...Napolitano was mentioned - Can anyone believe it- that woman isn’t an option...may she slip on a banana peel.............
Gosar describes himself as pro-life. Gosar supports the 2nd Amendment and opposes restrictions on firearm ownership. He describes himself as a fiscal conservative. He opposes the Affordable Health Care for America Act.
Regarding immigration, Gosar supports Arizona Senate Bill 1070. He advocates deploying soldiers to the border and supports building a double barrier fence.
Cross your fingers he will also announce he will be seeking the Republican nomination for President!
It’s Jeff Flake’s seat to lose...
First, Bristol Palin announces she's buying a house in Arizona - Link
Then, a Phoenix radio station announces it's offered her a job - Link
Then she lets leak she's writing a memoir - Link
Then Bristol announces that she may run for office some day - Link
And all of a sudden, BANG! Kyl annouces his retirement. Watch for the Bristol for Senate exploratory committed to start fundraising soon.
Sheriff Joe for US Senate!
Senator Kyl - maybe a Conservative on many issues... but I have a memory and Senator Kyl had to be ROPED in on the illegal immigration issue back in 2006/07 ... Kly had to be practically threatened (and actually was I believe) before he would stop carrying the water FOR Amnesty. He became a bit ‘born again’ after that FORCED backing down ... All in all he is a good man - but Kyl was way too easily swayed to support Amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens by the Republican Elites including GW Bush.
I am surprised that so many FR posters on this thread cannot seem to recall the absolute uproar Kyl caused back then ...
Good. Another amnesty traitor gives up before the TEA party kicks him out.
