GOP party members, so desperate for someone to take action since the feds allowed unfettered illegal immigration for years, have welcomed Brewer with a glee and giddiness unseen since the arrival of Sarah Palin. Some have even suggested she run for president in 2012. Conservatives who actually paid attention to Brewer prior to SB 1070, such as Red State blogger and CNN political analyst Erick Erickson, noted that Brewer "personally lobbied members of the state legislature to kill the bill (SB 1070) and then kept it on her desk, refusing to sign it until she realized she could use it to help her". As usual, a closer examination is in order before lauding praise upon the latest political hack. Shortly before signing SB 1070 into law, Brewer accomplished her dream of billions of dollars in increased sales taxes. In a particularly creepy video posted on youtube, a shrill and insistent Brewer barks that people will die, children will be abused, and 'education' (meaning government school) would allegedly suffer if her tax increased is not passed. Anyone who loved Arizona, she insisted, would do 'the hard thing' and pass billions in new taxes. Taxes are the answer to all the problems, she claimed, and catastrophe will strike the state if people didn't jump on board and sign on. Brewer even invoked the name of God innapropriately twice during her angry 4 minute tirade. (Watch the video below). In her speech, recorded at a Yavapai GOP meeting on April 10, 2010 just weeks before she signed SB 1070 into law, Brewer stated, in part, "It's easy to stand up here and say 'oh we can cut this and we can cut that'... I'm a problem solver and a truth teller. And when we talk about proposition 100, it is absolutely, absolutely necessary. If you want 60 or 70 people in your kids classroom, then don't vote for prop 100. You don't want businesses to come to Arizona? then dont vote for prop 100. Doing the right thing always always means doing the hard thing. Stand up, Arizona, get the facts. Get the information. And do what you believe is right. You want felons on the street? Don't vote for prop 100. There but for the grace of God go I? I don't want sexually and physically abused children not being protected." Referencing the sick and elderly, Brewer predicted what would happen without a tax increase: "...So we take away their home health care.. we take away their life saving equipment..close the door. What do we do, go back and bury them in ten days? My God people, it's American it is Arizona, we're strong willed person. We're strong willed people, we have got to do what's right; we need a temporary revenue . for three years, to get us through. And if we don't get it, this state will not recover. Probabaly for seven, eight years. And that's the truth." ....Former State Senator Karen Johnson, a strict constitutionalist and conservative who opposed Brewer's sales tax increase, has announced that she will run for governor against Brewer in the Republican primary. Johnson has gone on record saying she opposes any attempt by the federal government to declare martial law, and gave a landmark speech to the State Senate in 2008 urging a new investigation into the 9/11 attacks, suggesting that it appears the buildings were brought down by a controlled demolition.
