Check out this naked shit:
Incumbent Republican Jan Brewer said Thursday she has no intention of participating in any more events with Democrat Terry Goddard. She said the only reason she debated him on Wednesday is she had to to qualify for more than $1.7 million in public funds for her campaign.
I hope that $1.7 million was worth the embarrassment of her disastrous pre- and post-debate performance, in which she stumbled out of the gate during her opening statement and angrily stormed away from a media scrum after refusing to answer a chorus of questions on her bizarre, unsubstantiated claims about “beheadings in the desert”. And by the way, she’s still not explaining herself on that score:
“All you guys were doing and talking were beheadings, beheadings, beheadings,” the governor said. “That is something that has stuck with you all for so long, and I just felt we needed to move on.”
You gotta give Brewer points for honesty; she fully admits that she’s ducking out of all future debates because she knows she’ll lose:
Anyway, Brewer said, she believes the debates help Goddard more than they benefit her.
“Why would I want to give Terry a chance to redefine himself?” she said.
At least we know where her head’s at!
control the damage and keep demonizing immigrants. Shame, this race was so promising before SB 1070 made Brewer into “the only thing stop the illegals from taking over Arizona….besides John McCain.”
with worst ever. Her, Palin, Bachmann, and Angle all need to be exiled for our country’s own good.
The poll shows 92% in support of more debates.
people say, “yeah i like SB 1080 (or whatever the number is) but wow, that’s not enough to justify voting for her. yeesh!”
Why, oh why, Arizona, would you want this crazy lady as your Governor any longer? And if you really do, would you like to help us next door by taking this crazy lady, too?
Still think this is a very steep climb for Goddard, though.
Because doing the bare minimum is what made this country great.
#1 – Is that no politican has any excuse for totally flubbing their opening statement that bad. This wasn’t a question about physics. This was to say why people should vote for you. Based on that why should they?
#2 – You don’t make stuff up that is totally untrue and walk away from it. Politicians always stretch the truth or embellish the facts but we are basically talking about not having any basis for what you are saying and then walking away from it. At least say that you were mistaken. Even if she said that the headless bodies were in Mexico and that she misimplied that they were in Arizona people would live with that.
Someone stick the cut and run meme on her.
If so, Goddard could go debate them.
Besides her opening statement, Jan Brewer’s performance really isn’t THAT awful. Granted, I don’t agree with her on a lot, and I think Terry Goddard is infinitely more appealing, but this is hardly an all-around dreadful turn.
Goddard will be within single digits within one week.
This chick nearly got her ass handed to her in the primary before she demogogued immigrants into a big lead.
Her opening statement is one strike, the headless statement is another, to decline to step back from the headless statement is the third. To decline any more debates is yet another strike against her.
If this race doesn’t tighten up after all that, then Arizonians was certified dip-shits.
while I hope she loses, I’m a stutterer.
I’ve found that pauses such as that help me control my stuttering.
