Another good election result
In Arizona, the author of the state's tough and contentious immigration
law -- the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in the country -- conceded defeat in an unprecedented recall election. State Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican power broker and Tea Party movement hero, lost with about 45 percent of the vote to fellow Republican Jerry Lewis, who runs charter schools and garnered about 55 percent. "If being recalled is the price for keeping one's promises, then so be it," Pearce said in his concession. Pearce is the first state legislator in Arizona history to be removed from office through a recall election. Read mo http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/...#ixzz1dD7uh9MT |

Those Tea Party characters have had their day in the sun. Looks like logical responsible citizens are finally waking up and giving them the boot. |

Those Tea Party characters have had their day in the sun. Looks like logical responsible citizens are finally waking up and giving them the boot. Maybe waking up a little. I think a large and growing number of middle-income Americans are coming to realize that the Republican party cares only about the rich and how to make the rich richer, the rest of the country be damned. |
