Hello all. I as a resident of Phoenix have often wondered why, (in addition to Gerrymandering and me not getting off my duff as a democrat to help enough) the republicans here in Arizona and particularly in the Phoenix Metro area are keeping us..."just this side of Ghengis Khan?" Well, yes...I did mention Gerrymandering, apathy on my part and also forgot to mention large retirement communities where only senior citizens are allowed to live but...there is another factor and that is the large mega-churches and the very right wing Arizona Republic (which pretends to be moderate) and which is owned by Gannett, need I say more ?
Well...yes. If anyone here takes the time to catalogue our (Phoenix Metro Churches by their size and their leadership, I believe one could pretty much see how the "poor sheep" that follow and believe every word of a powerful preacher could be predicted to vote republican. Now...that's just a tiny little idea (mine) of why we have embarrasements like Jan Brewer and S.B. 1062 but...hey...I know there's alot more..what's your take ?
