Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., condemns boycotts of Arizona over bill which goes "a little too far"

1. We're still boycotting, Ann, no matter what you say. And maybe especially

3. Cry me a river, Ann
If you think this on "goes a little too far" then you need to "go a lot away".

4. Money trumps Civil rights
Rep. Kirkpatick? Place the Constitution on hold folks the economy is in a fragile situation. Boycotting one state for their stupidity, will make the entire planet go KA BOOM with earth shattering accuracy.

5. Then they should pass laws that are fair and just
not laws to fit an agenda that promotes hate and fear

10. I dunno
perhaps if your state wasn't so infiltrated with bigots, haters, teabaggers, and every other right-winged kook out there, you would have a much better chance at succeeding with restoration projects. As it stands right now, you're up shit creek without the damned paddle.
