The Tea Party hates Jan Brewer now

[DonViejo]

"She is George Bush in a skirt!" a top Arizona Republican angrily declares. How it all went downhill so suddenly

BY ALEX SEITZ-WALD

In Arizona this week, black is white, up is down, left is right and Gov. Jan Brewer is getting praised by gay Democrats and slammed by Tea Party conservatives.

The governor made a name for herself on Fox News and at national gatherings of conservatives like CPAC as a kind of uber-Tea Partyer, who eats scorpions for breakfast, wags her finger in the president’s face at lunchtime, signs strict anti-immigration bills into law in the afternoon, and gives the Tea Party flag the same legal protections as the Star-Spangled Banner by bedtime.

But this conservative edifice has come crashing down since she announced in her State of the State address this year, to the shock of everyone, that Arizona would accept Obamacare and expand its Medicaid coverage whether her Republican allies in the state liked it or not. Needless to say, they did not like it. But Brewer’s newfound love of Obamacare was so strong that she vowed to veto every single bill the Legislature sent to her office until they caved on Obamacare.

Soon, this one-time darling of the right was getting eviscerated in National Review editorials, yelled at — to her face — by conservative talk radio hosts, and being called “Judas” from the chambers of the state House of Representatives.

This is why I'm really glad I'm a Democrat. Even though it can sometimes make things more difficult, I'm glad that I belong to a more free-thinking political party.

good thing.. for republiCONS!

7. It was...up to the point when it was so obvious

that he had screwed the pooch on every level. Then they started pretending that either he never existed or he was never a real Republican.

6. How ironic, Ms Finger Wagger is an Obamacare

lover.

The article didn't say why she was so set on it.. I'm guessing because she thinks it's better for Arizona's budget?

thanks DV

10. she loaded up the for profit prisons with their 30 year contracts, they don't need her anymore.

Az. is on power stearing, any R will do to replace her. One of their youngins' can fill her spot, all they will miss is her finger shake at the President.

12. The Republican Constituency......

,,,,would seriously gnaw off their own nose to spite their face. In otherwords, the would rather people be left without insurance and die, rather than accept any aid from Obama.

Jan pisses me off to no end, so you know there has to be some grander agenda for her to support the implementation of this program....could it be that she actually thinks it may be good for Arizonans?
