If any of you want to fantasize that it wont be business as usual, you're gravely mistaken. Steve Pierce voted for and fully supports SB1070. He voted for all of Pearce's bills except for those 3 immigration bills that were deemed as too early to act on. Arizona has to get SB1070 ruled constitutional by the US Supreme Court, which it will eventually, before going after anymore laws that attempt to stop the out of control invasion of unskilled, uneducated, welfare system parasite, illegal aliens through our southern border with Mexico.
Concerning the impostor republican mormon bishop, “There were several people who voiced some concerns about his (the bishop) loyalty because of how he got there, who it was who got him there — and who he’s beholden to,’’ he said. "That refers to the fact that one of the key recall organizers was Randy Parraz who is not only a registered Democrat but actually tried to be that party’s nominee last year for U.S. Senate."
It will be interesting to see what bills Lewis writes and supports. I doubt he will be able to write any as he has less experience than the obamanation had before being elected to the US Senate. He will spend the rest of Pearce's term then be defeated by the majority of conservative republicans in the next regular election's republican primary. What a small victory for our illegal alien supporting libertards. Hooray for you. I don't think the conservative republican majority will forget how Lewis compared Arizona to the racist days of the south come time for the republican primary that isn't very far away. SB1070 is supported by a large majority of citizens of LD18. Lewis is opposed to it and supports amnesty. That should pretty much seal his fate in the regular election primary where libertards can't vote in the republican primary. Enjoy your small victory while it last. Down some tequila and do the hat dance with La Ratza. You've earned your reward.

Such great news for all of Arizona. You've got to love the tremendous common sense approach that Senator Pierce, a Rancher, will bring to the Senate. He refused to back down to Russell Pearce and his over the top enforcement only immigration policies. More importantly, Senator Pierce sought to keep the focus on improving Arizona's economy while, at the same time he introduced legislation that would help financially strapped Arizona residents.
This appears to me to reflect that the Senate, at least, has taken heed of the wake up call that was the ouster of Russell Pearce. Divisiveness, invective and prejudice have no place in our legislature. All Arizonans need to work together to heal this state and bring it back to the respectability that it deserves.
