Just another hillbilly

Arizona is known for a few things: the Grand Canyon, its beautiful sunsets...and for having some of the dopiest, gun-loving, hillbilly politicians in the entire country. Enter Arizona Congressional candidate Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, who said in a recent interview that A) Middle Easterners look like Mexicans, and B) she doesn't want them in the country "legally or illegally." Even worse: there's video. Saucedo Mercer, a Hispanic immigrant who became a citizen in 1991, has the backing of the Tea Party and the state's foot-in-mouth governor, GED Jan Brewer.

In the height of loony irony, Mercer herself an immigrant to the USA doesn’t want Middle Easterners to enter the country, legally or illegally.

The opponents of Raúl Grijalva are once again engaging in their biannual tradition of convincing themselves that everyone hates Grijalva as much as they do ... So, every two years, they end up recruiting someone who is a flawed candidate, convince themselves that this person is HUGELY popular, run a half assed campaign, and are shocked that they lose.
