The call is clear, electing progressive Democrats. Save the GOP from itself!

Right on Arizona, this election needs to turn the tide toward a more Liberal and progressive state leadership. Statewide and legislative election of Democrats and putting progressives in charge for the next two years is the answer.

Starting with electing a progressive as Governor. Here are the problems as I see them. The idea that cutting taxes for the rich, offering government safety net programs for low-wage income earners, then eliminating or cutting them and some how destroying education in the name of school choice will bring employment to Arizona has been proven wrong. It's a totally false program that keeps us next to poverty.

Both on the Federal and State level government spending on infrastructure, education and alternative energy are more likely to create jobs than Republican calls to cut spending and taxes to build business confidence and spur employment.

Gutting government programs, hostility to unions, opposition to minimum wage increases are sucking us dry in building a revenue base for any economic growth in Arizona. While we rely upon sales taxes to fund all of our government functions, brag about tax loop-holes for the corporations and wealthy folks, who has the purchasing power to generate those sales taxes.

The Republican and the right-wing myth with the wonderful experiment and uniquely strong ability to lie to themselves about trickle-down economics and less government is better government is just part of the problem.

The Republican Party is so disorganized and in such disarray it is really two parties each trying to pick up the banner of conservatism. The Tea Party Republicans and the more moderate Republicans fighting among themselves then coming out to hold power against the Democrats without solving their own internal discourse.

Ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. "Obama is not a real American, a Muslim intent on destroying America with his Socialist ideas."

What I see is the Tea Party and a rump of spineless modrates. The GOP, quite simply, has been split in two.

We need to send them out in the desert for a couple years to fight it out while the progressives in charge of the Democrat party seek to put Arizona back on track again. That includes electing a full slate of Democrats to statewide and legislative offices.

It shows totally in the difference between the Republican parties in Arizona and Mississippi. In Arizona the GOP is complaining about the registered Independents voting in their primary rejecting the true believers and nominating establishment Republicans.

In Mississsippi on the other hand has the Tea Party favored GOP candidate complaining about the establishment wing of the party inviting Democrat outsiders to vote for their candidate defeating the Tea Party candidate in the run-off election.

Which is it? Only the pure can vote in the Republican primary or outsiders invited in to some how protect them from their own registered GOP voters.

Out to the desert and come back when you have sorted out the issues and the platform of the Republican party.

The ideas expressed by Fred DuVall in his campaign to become our next Governor are awesome, and allowing him the opportunity to build all of our infrastructure including all levels of education is the choice we should take this election.
