I bet a few of you check in JUST to see what I have to say about the elections. Because I am tired and have a sick little one (Ty has had a fever for 4 days), I am going to be surprisingly brief.<\/p>\n
I fear that many Conservative Republicans chose not to vote yesterday for a variety of reasons. The one I have heard most often is that “State elections aren’t that important”.<\/p>\n
Consider this:<\/p>\n
* We no longer have the advantage of a Republican dominated House and the Senate is still undecided. <\/p>\n
Folks – that IS a BIG deal! Ask the celebrating Democrats! They are throwing big parties over their victory. <\/p>\n
AZ election results are breaking my heart. It looks like we kept Kyl but we lost Hayworth and Munsil did not get elected. Munsil would have been a huge win for pro family value legislation. (Side note: At the State Fair last week I signed a petition to allow AZ license plates to be printed with a “Choose Life” option. Janet Napolitano had vetoed it because it was “too controversial”. Never mind all of our taxpayer money that goes to Planned Parenthood. Shheeeeessssh! And it is an optional license plate!)<\/em><\/p>\n I am less than satisified with several of the props too. ESPECIALLY Prop 107!!!! I believe in the marriage ammendment stating married couples as one male and one female! Looks like this prop is going to fail and I am very sad about that.<\/p>\n That is all I will say for now. Frankly, I am too disappointed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I bet a few of you check in JUST to see what I have to say about the elections.
