"These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they're choosing to live that life. That's bullsh*t. I mean, what the f**k are we really talking about here?'"

In the wake of 9/11, Sinema opposed military action to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden - if it was up to her, Osama bin Laden would still be alive. At the same time, she called George H.W. Bush and Reagan 'Osama lovers'.

“But in the days and weeks after 9/11, as talk of retaliation reached a fever pitch, Sinema and others in Phoenix began organizing what would eventually become the Arizona Alliance for Peaceful Justice (AAPJ). The group’s mission statement at the time called military action ‘an inappropriate response to terrorism’ and advocated for using the legal system — not violence — to bring Osama bin Laden and others to justice."

As sad as this sounds, I agree with her. I am engaged right now, and my fiance will NEVER be a housewife. I kill myself for what I make as it is. And it's not enough to support the both of us, unless we want to live like the working poor, and if I wanted to live like that, why would I have busted my butt to try and make something of myself to begin with?

Sen. John McCain gave new insight into his grim struggle with an aggressive form of brain cancer in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS's 60 Minutes.

"They said that it's very serious, that the prognosis is very, very serious," the 81-year-old McCain, R-Ariz., said during the segment titled "The Fighter."

"Some say 3 percent, some say 14 percent. You know, it's a very poor prognosis," he continued. "So I just said, 'I understand. Now we're gonna do what we can, get the best doctors we can find and do the best we can.'

Mccain has a terminal type of brain cancer called glioblastoma
The median survival rate for glioblastoma is 14.6 months,
Ted Kennedy died from this same type of cancer in 15 months and Bidens son died in 24 months. If you are over 60 you die quicker from this type of cancer.

The House Freedom Caucus has some good potential AZ candidates including Schweikert and Gosar if you don't like Franks and they decide to run for the Senate.

Kyrsten Sinema for Arizona | RTI Sinema launch

Yes, she officially announced her entry into the Senate race after my post. I will be supporting Kelli Ward for the Republican primary and hopefully against her if she is the Democratic candidate for Senate and Ward defeats Flake in the primary.

Ward won't win the general, she is too right wing and wacky

That would be like me contacting Andy Biggs even though I live in Ruben Gallegos district....

YES I live in liberal sinemas district

Sinema has a lot of dirt and crazy left wing actions that when they become public will kill her chances as senator.
I personally do not want a bisexual senator who grew up in an abandoned gas station representing me and that is the tip of the iceberg.

What's wrong with someone bisexual? Or more importantly with someone who went from rags to riches on their own merits? I thought that was what you Repub's always championed, the old Horatio Alger crap

I know it is the Flake race and not McCain, I have no idea where Ducey would go if Senator McCain (notice I called him by his respectful and EARNED title - like it or not) were to be unable to complete his term - but I sure hope the Senator Flake race does not turn into Ward vs Sinema - I HATE having to choose between two extremes.

Governing is about compromise - I know some of you on both sides hate that truth - but that is the only way it works in any effective manner. If EITHER side starts to get too much power - the other side will revolt in bad ways eventually.

Personally I hope Senator Flake retains his seat, and whoever replaces Senator McCain is in a similar vein. I respect that I don't agree with every one of their decisions, and others with different views than me don't like some of the decisions they make either. To me that is the sign of someone trying to understand the issues and do what is best for ALL of us.

Not an easy task. Especially in this environment.

Maybe 20+ years ago this would have worked out OK, but it is not a winning strategy in today's political environment. The Progressives have taken over the Democrat party and just look at how willing they were to compromise with the Republicans when passing laws like Obamacare. Things that you will never hear from the left are personal responsibility, freedom, liberty and supporting the constitution as written. If you don't elect a conservative person interested in bringing back limited government, there will be no chance to attempt to reduce the national debt or help reduce unneeded regulations that pile up year after year by government bureaucrats.
