Bringing together Arizona Progressives to take back our country!

(HOME)
TURN AZ BLUE!

Our Mission
- We intend to bring together activists, bloggers, and voters to work toward progressive political change in Arizona.

- By sharing information and keeping each other informed, we can coordinate efforts to promote progressive causes and candidates.

- We hope to provide a forum for local Democratic candidates to present their positions on issues of concern to Arizonans.

- Anyone who shares our goals is welcome to join and contribute.

- The age of open source politics is here. Lobbyists and special interests have run Arizona for too long.

- Let's take back Arizona from the big money special interests and the right wing crazies!

    Crazy Franks loses it, Calls Obama an Enemy of Humanity

    by: Mackinac

    Sat Oct 17, 2009 at 01:32:42 AM MDT


    Out-of-touch Arizona Rep. Trent Franks (R-Gerrymanderville) has surfaced in a YouTube video in which he refers to President Barack Obama as an enemy of Humanity. This is coming from the guy who voted against SCHIP by the way. Apparently Crazy Franks is one of those people who stop supporting life at birth because it saves him a buck of two. Talk about an enemy of humanity!

    This man will stop at nothing to gain the attention of those on the very far right side of the political spectrum. He even recently even held a press conference (along with Rep. John Shadegg) to highlight his blatant racism. Crazy Franks announced that he believes Muslim interns for Congress are actually planted terrorists who will alter our national security legislation. You cannot make this stuff up folks. Really, you can't. It is obvious that he has totally lost it and is no longer representing the interests of those who elected him.

    Crazy Franks earns is paid $174,000 (plus some really nice benefits) of your tax money to represent the citizens of Arizona's 2nd district in Congress. He has failed epically to do his job. Instead of representing his constituents, he instead chose to be a Congressional puppet for far-fetched extremists, such as Glenn Beck. That is right Arizona; Crazy Franks cares more about what Glenn Beck thinks of him than what you do! How much do you enjoy playing second fiddle to that nut case?

    Contact Crazy Franks today and tell him to represent Arizona and not the far right wing media.

    (Franks has a huge district, why doesn't he have an office in northern AZ?)

    Also, send a letter to the editor of the Arizona Republic and tell Arizona what you think of Crazy Franks.

    Great post! (4.00 / 1)
    Franks has some stiff competition in the modern GOP, but he is clearly in the running for King of the Kooks.  Here in Arizona our legislature may eliminate our local version of SCHIP, KidsCare, in order to balance the state budget. They've taken a pledge to Grover Norquist to never ever raise taxes under any circumstances and would rather balance the state budget on the backs of children than break that pledge.
