Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, following her signing and passionate defense of the state’s new immigration law, now claims 45% of the vote in the state’s Republican Primary field. That’s a 19-point gain from a month ago and puts her well ahead of all her challengers.

Just last month, Brewer held a modest lead with 26% of the primary vote, followed by Mills at 18%, Munger at 14% and Martin with 12%. Twenty-four percent (24%) were undecided.

In March, Brewer, Martin and Mills were in a three-way tie, each attracting about 20% of GOP voters.

Just show you how many idiots there are in this country.
 
AZ governor Brewer's popularity grows . . . among Republicans. Are you surprised by that? It would be something if her popularity did not grow among Republicans after signing that law (and some of the other silly shit she signed).
 
As i mentioned in another post do any of you live in AZ? Do you know what its like? My relatives say on a typical commute 30min home from work every convenience store has a group of illegals who are loitering around looking for work in the morning then drunk in afternoon after finding no work.

Can anyone dispute this? If not would you not mind living with that at your local convenience store?
 
If I was the state of AZ I would have not passed a profiling bill and instead passed a bill that prevents loitering in any public areas without state id or permit. That fixes that problem.

Yeah, that might be "silly" except that her bill was supported across party lines as well as by hispanic Americans.

P.S. It would be helpful if you could decipher between a posters "surprise" and their merely showing political popularity of an idea.

That's the thing. I just can't in any conscience pass any sort of judgment on that bill for that reason. I've been reading for years about the problems in AZ that so many illegals bring, particularly the crime. My impression was, when reading about the bill, that it was a "totally fed up!" measure, reflecting exasperation with the inability of the Feds to deal with the problem.

My point exactly. I dont know what its like to live there at all so im not going to judge the entire state and call them a bunch of idiots and a backwards society. Unless there is some federal and constitutional law states should be able to handle there state issues any way they want.

Hispanics overwhelming oppose the bill.

It would be helpful if you understood the concept of a question. I simply asked whether you were surprised.

The only difference 'tween the AZ law and the federal law is that a law enforcement officer who is already engaged in a legitimate contact with a person and said person cannot provide legal ID or visa that they can be arrested and held pending verification of citizenship. The federal law states that the person must have a felony warrant against them before a law enforcement officer can arrest them and check their legal status.

27% of legal American hispanics support a bill that sees illegal immigration as a problem. Considering that the problem lies mostly with hispanics, albeit illegal hispanics; it speaks of how bad the problem is. Even of the remaining 70% of American hispanics who are opposed to the bill, this number is likely due to the early misinformation put out. The bill continues to gain, not lose support as more accurate information is disseminated to the public.

The problem was not with my ability to answer a question, but to the stupidity of the question.

A radio show this morning said that Phoenix ranks 2nd in the world, for kidnappings.

I knew we were high; but I didn't expect that.

You have fallen for the anti-1070 hyperbole.

There is no "PROFILING" bill. :palm:

Would you mind explaining what is so "unconsciable" about SB-1070??
