You never really know how qualified someone is to represent your country, state, or community until you see their reaction to various legislative actions. Case in point: It took Arizona’s passage of SB1070 to bring to light the gross incompetence of Raul Grijalva.
You have to wonder just how someone that is this clueless managed to not only run for national office, but also win. Here’s some of the lunacy from Raul.
After passage of SB1070, Raul and another misguided, constitutionally challenged ‘representative’ signed a letter asking the great and powerful Obama to intervene, wave his magic wand, and make this law disappear.
The problem with that, Raul, is a little thing called the 10th amendment… Otherwise known as “States Rights.” Had you bothered to take some sort of civics or history class at whatever diploma mill you graduated from, you would know that the federal government has limited power to only those specifically granted to it by the constitution.
That’s not the last we heard from this great ‘representative’ from Arizona. He also went on a campaign to tell businesses and tourists to avoid the state... A state he represents. He is actively driving revenue away from a state he claims to represent and care about. Let’s hope this encourages groups like La Raza to stop visiting Arizona. In that case, keep spreading the word, Raul.
This idiocy would be laughable if it wasn’t true. The sad thing is that we have clueless and dangerous elected officials who obviously do not represent the people of their district, since over 70% of Arizonan’s agree with SB1070!
Way to go, Raul. Your helping the conservative 2010 movement more than you’ll ever know. You’ll have plenty of time to ponder your inadequacies once the people of district 7 realize your not looking out for their best interests.
