“Steve Pierce’s self-serving commentary on taxes and education is enough to make a cat laugh. He has led the charge in strangling funding for education and is yet surprised that Arizona’s students lag those of other states. He touts the absurd notion that withholding support from struggling schools will somehow help them improve. Worse, he worries about higher sales tax rates, when he knows that the cutting of state revenues through tax breaks to his corporate sponsors is precisely what makes an increase in the sales tax necessary.”

“While most observers thought it was pigeon poop on Sheriff Babeau’s car, Sheriff Paul called a news conference to announce that the substance will be forwarded to the MCSO crime lab to determine if it was Cocaine/Anthrax left by the Sinaloa Cartel due to a weak performance by Ms. Napolitano.”

“Come on Arizona, don’t miss the chance to enact a law, where anyone carrying a can of gas in their vehicle, must secure it in a child’s restraining seat. And maybe they can put it on top of the vehicle.”

“How many social programs have to be cut before civilization becomes unsustainable? Greece isn’t the key to economic recovery; it’s the Trojan horse of austerity.”

“Observing Obama with his celebrity backers confirms Democrats live in a world of ‘make-believe’ supported by the rest of the nation who are willing to accept the responsibilities and realities of life.”

“Organized crime, I mean labor, bosses for public employee unions have to be running scared after Wisconsin. The politicians in their pockets had better be scared too. Even Obama stayed away from that fight. Of course when he ran for president in 2008 he promised to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the unions. Yet another broken promise. I lost count.”

“The unfunded debt for public employee pensions carried by federal, state and local governments is almost equal to the total debt of the U.S. Wisconsin spoke loud and clear: Reign it in now!!! The public employee unions should be banned entirely. It’s not like the government is running sweatshops.”

“It matters not where he was born, or from which college he graduated. It matters not what his political affiliation or whose economics he believes. When a man makes jokes about his wife like unto those made by Barack Obama at a recent fundraiser, he shows his true class. Those comments were truly low-brow.”

    Vent #1: Senator Perice is doing a fine job in the AZ Senate. Taxes are lower, education will improve, and recovery is coming at a faster pace, no thanks to our over spending federal government. Always trying to blame corporate money as an excuse to tax or regulate more isn't working anymore. When taxes and regulations are lower the economy will work better. Vote NO on the "Education Tax" initiative.

    Vent #2: Stupid comment, if you're going to rant, rant about something important.

    Vent #3: This must be some kind of smart aleck remark about our legislature passing laws to protect our citizens. Maybe there should be a law about transporting a can of gas in the passenger section of a vehicle.

    Vent #4: The problems with social programs is that it uses other people's money and at some point other people's money runs out. And Greece is a good example.

    Vent #5: You make a good point. Our Campaigner-in-Chief is really good at getting the 1%ers of the entertainment industry to fund his campaign.

    Vent #6: And yet the president is still calling for a bill to provide $30 billion to keep the public sector unions going across the country.

    Vent #7: Politicos can't help themselves and keep funding unsustainable debt for future generations.

    Vent #8: How low can he go..... LOL

    I have never been more proud to be first a Arizona and second a American. last week we had a peanut butter drive to make sure Arizona children would not go hungry. Also last week we voted to give $325 million to the Arizona Coyotes. This $325 million along with BILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS which have been given to professional sports, If we had one honest politician in Arizona they would tell the truth, THE TRUTH ARIZONA TAX PAYERS NEVER WILL RECEIVE A RETURN on these dollars and never have. This is just more corporate welfare. I challenge anyone who can prove these billion of dollars of corporate welfare are ever returned to the tax payers. The last super bowl cost the Arizona tax payers over $1 million dollars.

    It's Lester Pierce you need to watch out for. He's nothing like his brother, Russell. Lester is not and has never been a lawyer. He doesn't know diddly squat about law. He needs to resign his post as judge. He's a menace to this state, and this country.
