Off the rails

Not to mention that Arizona just elected a senator who hates Arizona even more than McCain did.

For the record, I keep trying to comment but I messed up a captcha deal with my phone and now it jerks me around so much I eventually give up.
I often can't see all the correct pictures on the small phone screen and I get sick of playing whak-a-mole.

Sorry about the technological difficulties; I was really hoping to get some insight from you on Arizona. McCain, Flake and now Super-Flake. What does it all mean?

I had to play that blog spot game. Then it decided that I am "Deborah God", so no more games even when I reply as "Deborah", which is always. Maybe one day, you will be Veeshir God.

As to Arizona, how did Arizonans overwhelmingly elect a Republican governor, but then vote the antithesis to represent them in the US Senate. Hmmm.

Cortez, like the Conquistador? I find that name triggering, I think she should at least change it, if not do years of penance. This is the 21st Century when people named Cortez can't just march in and take over.

I don't understand McCain, Flake was all Super Duper Conservative!!!!!!! to win elections, once he became obvious he lost all support.
As for Sinema, Stephen Green at the puppy blender's had the best take I've seen,
McSally wasn’t as strong on the campaign trail as she could or should have been, and Sinema ran a smart (if fundamentally dishonest) campaign, and enjoyed serious media tailwinds.

Sinema was all Super Duper Conservative!!!!!!!!!! in her commercials and McSally's ads didn't have much to say about McSally, mostly just about Sinema. What little it did say about McSally was, "I was in the military!" Flashbacks to J Effin Kerry.

I was in the position of believing everything Sinema's ads said about McSally and everything McSally's ad said about Sinema.
Add in a heaping helping of Californians who fled their state and ran out of gas on the way to Texas and you get Senator, "I hate my state!"

Don't forget illegals.

My take on Arizona is that it's full of 80-90 year olds who still think the Democratic Party is the party of the Working Man(tm).

Retired union people from steel country. Oh and yes, illegal voters. All this talk about Californians, I'm not buying it, not 100% anyway.
Union snowbirds, that's who lives in AZ.

Jonah said...

I mean every California expat I've talked to (yes, a very small sample size) has been extremely adamant about why they left. Talk about the extreme feelings of a civil war, the people who had to leave the place they loved will be your most loyal partisans.

Sinema is Dutch origin, Brigham-Young University grad. Unusual combination, but every Dutch person I know is like that - individualistic, also very stubborn. I can see how she appeals to conservative old unionist Democrats. Andrew Bolt is Dutch, started as a leftist. They have a refreshing directness and straightness (like old Anglo-Saxons whose cousins they are, even in language).

I predict Sinema will break from the Dem horde when she sees how corrupt it is, just based on her being Dutch. Not that that's any use to the rest of us who can't wait a lifetime for the others to wake up.

Veeshir said...

Bruce,
She has less "Dutchness" than a guy who splits the check on a date.

She's part of the leftist crazy-train.
The corruption is what she likes about it the most.

I've just about given up following U.S. conservative sites; the news these days out of the U.S., especially regarding the rampant Dem fraud in the election and apparent RINO collusion with that fraud, makes me physically sick.

Can the U.S. republic stand?
Will traditional U.S.A. be dissolved in a tsunami of "undocumented immigrants" from God only knows where?
The globalists have been doing this throughout the West; but conspiracy theories are tinfoil hat territory, I'm told.

Will conservative U.S.A. soon be reduced to a few besieged states in the middle of the country?

I was supposed to visit my daughter in Melbourne Mike, but I told her to come here instead. Ashton's circus police force and bungling Feds saved by a phone call from a hardware clerk about suspicious purchases, we just dodged a terror attack which could have been much worse. She lives on Port Phillip, but if we baywalk toward St Kilda there may be African gangs now. And the idiots down south just signed up to the China 'belt road' borg. We were 'the lucky country', how long will our luck hold out?

Mike_W said...

Yeah, Bruce, it's a worry.

Western communists just love their Chicoms.
Personally, I'm not too keen on a lot of what the Chinese have been sending us in the way of trade: rat meat disguised as chicken, poisonous baby formula and pet food, toxic drywall, etc.

And the multi-cultis just love their cultural enrichment, especially the domestic terrorism.

What a world the left is building.
