Her solution for bad Republican government — which she admits is bad — is to try a different Republican?
For real change, try a different Party.
I didn’t realize that Republican controlled Arizona, and US Congress had enacted, or is trying to enact sharia law here. Why didn’t anyone tell me?
Ominous words.
“I’m a fighter pilot and I talk like one.”
Wait, what?
Does that mean that she approaches people and says “You can be my wingman anytime”?
Exactly what we need in a senator.
Oh, fuck you, Martha. You’re just a more RW version of that idiot “moderate” Susan Collins from Maine: you’ll say how much you “sympathize” with the plight of women and poor people and the working class and immigrants and people who can’t afford health insurance, and then you’ll turn around and vote for any piece of shit legislation the GOP puts in front of you, even though it screws all of those people you supposedly had “sympathy” for in the first place.
Oh, and BTW: what is your informed opinion on shitholes, since you seem to love and support Donald Trump so much?
Popcorn!
She’ll never get over Macho Grande.
We have no time to waste energy on the next craziest group of Repubs that are trying to out-crazy the last craziest group of Repubs. Sharia or no Sharia.
We simply have to encourage them to let their inner nutbag out and then watch them chew on each others guts.
We need the Democrat to win in AZ just like we did in Alabama. Not by badmouthing the Trumpp clones but by offering a service that benefits the people and promotes opportunity and a positive vision.
I wonder on her position on (and more importantly her votes on) issues related to social security, Medicare, and any safety net issues. If I understand this correctly she retired from the military in her late 40’s receiving all the benefits of a military retiree. Then she was elected to the House receiving all the benefits of a congressperson. So what benefits does she think the government should apply to a bricklayer, farmer, factory worker, etc who works until they are 65 yrs old?
Waiting for her to point out that she was a fighter pilot who was never captured.
Why can’t we do both?
I want to see Tammy Duckworth campaigning in Arizona for the Dem candidate. Yeah, let’s see Martha comment on her.
On the one hand, there is no stopping them at this point. Their going full cray cray and that’s that. We need only to nudge and point.
On the other, we have to stop the madness and get on with government as intended, by the people-for the people. Quaint as that may sound.
The Zucker Bros strike again…
And, Congresscritter McSally, please allow me to point out that fighter pilots do not take on terrorists mano a mano. In point of fact, a successful fighter mission more closely resembles a mugging than knights meeting on the field of honor.
Thank you for your service, though.
“I was a fighter pilot. Fighter pilots we are great at reading which way the wind blows. I once said Donald Trump doesn’t carry himself like a President. But, I can tell which way the wind blows, so I voted for every Trump position. But I am a former fighter pilot. I am very independent…blah blah blah”
Yeah, let’s see who the Democrats run, and who comes out to campaign for that person. I personally think the Right Wing former military person (see Governor of Missouri who really likes BDSM, see defeated congressman Allan West, see bizarre Right Wing pro Bernie opportunist Tulsi Gabbard) is really beyond a tired, trite stereotype.
That’s an excellent question she should certainly be asked.
Because doing both draws attention away from the positive message. I’m not saying to ignore the full-on batshit craziness, but rather, acknowledge it for what it is and move on.
The septic tank doesn’t know or care about the source plumbing.
Yet she has tacked right in recent months and aligned herself with Trump as the 2018 campaign season neared.
Totally broken party. Only racists and fascists and scientific illiterates at this point. Simply not a party fit for purpose in a democracy. I wish this would become a talking point for Ds. It’s long overdue. Brand the Ds as the only party fit to govern. The country can’t afford to have the GOP anywhere near power for years.
