Garcia makes ‘dramatic tilt’ left in run for governor

You can’t eat David Garcia.

The curious saying stems from when the Democratic gubernatorial candidate served as an infantryman in the U.S. Army.

Garcia and his Army cohorts were told by a commanding officer that their military handbook included the phrase, “you cannot eat another soldier.”

Your fellow soldiers could get you killed, leave you in a foreign land or get you blown up, but they couldn’t cannibalize you, Garcia said at a June 7 fundraiser.

Garcia, who ran for state superintendent of public instruction in 2014 and lost by about 16,000 votes, is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor this cycle.

Why?

[BenLurkin]

Of all the things to internalize from one’s time in uniform....

[ClearCase_guy]

This all sounds vaguely Aztec. Therefore, it may not sell in California.

[servo1969]

I often feel like people can eat me.
Probably not what we’re talking about, though.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

He’s running for governor in Arizona.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s a good choice for him. Because I don’t think it will sell in California.

[BobL]

Wow. It’s INCREDIBLE that the military, who has complete custody of young people for at least 2 years, cannot teach them them to be AMERICANS.

People that far left shouldn’t even get an Honorable, and their COs need to BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

[Larry Lucido]

Maybe Cherry Garcia. But I wouldn't eat that, either.

...he promises free college tuition, shuns big money and backs a ballot initiative that would boost taxes on Arizona’s top earners.

Smart move in a state that caters to retired people. Yep, never mind that the top 10% of wage earners foot 72% of all IRS tax collections, the rich aren't paying their fair share. That was Obozo's theme for years. Two problems: 1) he obviously never checked the facts, and 2) who does Dumbass think wrote the Federal Tax code? If economic understanding were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Garcia needs to let voters know his plans.....he should pass out those La Raza fliers he keeps in his trunk:
Vote for Latino Power - Viva la Raza: "We will kill off the entire evil, white race. We are making them
addicted to cocaine, crack, spiked marijuana, spice, meth, heroin, hash, and other poisons, to kill them.
I will bring in more MS-13 and cartels to hasten the plan."

[DIRTYSECRET]

Ted Danson ate Whoppee

[Liz]

He didnt mean THAT. You bad.

[Flick Lives]

Garcia and his Army cohorts were told by a commanding officer that their military handbook included the phrase, “you cannot eat another soldier.”

Is he running for the Donner party?

[Greenpees]

Unfortunately, almost every teacher in Arizona is licking this guys ass. RED for ED! . What an F’n joke. He a LaRaza doofus, but a generally good speaker. Between Garcia and Kirstin Sinema the R’s have our work cut our for us.

[2banana]

I was in the infantry (airborne - you leg!) for 6 years and we NEVER said that...

[Liz]

....who does Dumbass Garcia think wrote the Federal Tax code?
If economic understanding were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose......

ROTFLOL......now that's funny.

[Liz]

This sounds vaguely Aztec.......

Golly, I hope Garcia's opponent doesnt drag out any of those gory Aztec paintings of human sacrifice.

[TADSLOS]

The perp posing last year with his front organization.

[Boomer]

Which one is he?

[econjack]

Actually, I was referring to Obozo, although it probably applies to Garcia, too.
