Arizona Republicans Resign

[bullypulpit]

Turns out a number of Arizona Republicans have resigned in the wake of last Saturday's tragedy. Among those was Anthony Miller, chairman of the GOP in Arizona's 20 legislative district. He resigned, specifically citing threats to himself and his family by members of the Tea Party.

A sad commentary on what has become of the GOP as it has sought to move the country even further to the right.

Bully and reality have parted company. Election 2008 seemed to have sealed that deal for him.

No, dear lady...the right wing, and it's supporters, ran off those rails a long time ago. Oh, and your responses were sadly typical. Can't debate the message, so you attack the messenger.

Just because you ignore the thread, Progressive Hate, doesn't mean you can ignore the evidence.

I must have missed the section of the articles where the guy quoted even one threat from a TEA Party member, and/or identified any TEA Party member as a source of anything that worried him.

Oddly, such identification seems to be missing from EVERY article where leftists announce that the TEA party is doing something wrong.

Just coincidence, no doubt.

Bully, it's been more than evident for awhile. The fact that you ignored my direct thread to you regarding signing statements says volumes more than your posts.

Until all want the country to succeed, meaning that they speak up when their 'side' does wrong, we'll continue our downward spiral. I guess from you, as long as a (D) leads us there, all is good.

Bully is correct. It is the right wingers in general but the teabaggers in particular that have made many elected Republicans feel threatened for themselves and their families and subsequently resign their positions. So much for a democracy?!?!

Did you notice the article said he resigned a couple of hours after the shootings? It was a knee jerk reaction.

Gads Bully, how much does the nutjob left pay you to come here and make a fool of yourself like this?

Knee jerk? That is hardly the case. How about "last straw" for a metaphor?

I, for one, say good riddance. our country doesn't need officials who run when they are faced with adversity. It's no wonder terrorists think they can succeed. I imagine the signers of the declaration of independence faced similar threats but they still "... pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

I wonder what they would have done with 280 million people and 300 million semi automatic weapons aimed at them?
