  1. Just reshuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. Term limits are a joke in AZ: John Kavanagh, John Huppenthal, Andy Biggs, et al. They just move from one chamber to another, and then back again.
    Sylvia Allen was re-elected?
    Seriously, Arizonans have no creativity, and Democrats have no state platform.

  2. Kelli Ward and Education. The hits just keep on coming. It is embarrassing that someone allegedly educated as a doctor is so ignorant about education policy. Save time, just get the ALEC play book on education. If we could just home school all our kids or give them all tax funded vouchers to religious schools , everything would be perfect. Judy Burges and Federalism. Might as well just name the committee, the Black Helicopter/Conspiracy Committee.
