Another Republican politician without a spine

Another Republican politician without a spine. Jan Brewer vetoed Arizona’s new religious freedom legislation, pretending in her press conference that it was a drastic erasure of gay rights even though all it did was bring Arizona into line with about thirty other states.

  • Politician and spine are an oxymoron. For all the bullshit they spout, they'll be the first to run like hell when the going gets tough.

  • Both. The law was created so that the radical gay community couldn't file suit against a private business that didn't wish to perform wedding cakes, pictures and the like.

    • But the opponents acted like it was going to require businesses to post someone at the door, checking to make sure nobody gay got into a restaurant or store.

    • I blame Roger Goodell and the NFL. Seriously. No governor could sacrifice that much economic activity. She did what she had to do and she did it under duress.

    • That's exactly it. She was pressured by the businesses that are hoping for a huge payday when they host the Super Bowl.
      Money talks, and politicians grovel.
