John McCain: I Hope Jan Brewer Vetoes Gay Bill
Arizona's two Republican senators have urged their governor to veto a controversial measure that gives businesses in the state the right to refuse service to gays based on religious beliefs.
Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake offered Gov. Jan Brewer, R-Ariz., some unsolicited advice on Twitter. McCain on Monday echoed a tweet posted Saturday by Flake that addressed the issue directly: "I hope Governor Brewer will veto #SB1062," the tweets read.
Lawmakers in the GOP-controlled state House and Senate approved the legislation last week. Brewer, a fiery Republican who has embraced controversial laws in the past, hasn't said yet whether she plans to sign the bill. The measure would automatically become law after five days of sitting idly on her desk.
Flake and McCain are not as staunchly conservative as the state lawmakers that proposed and passed the measure.
Yet Monday, Republican state senators Bob Worsley, Adam Driggs and Steve Pierce sent their own letter to Brewer urging a veto just days after they joined the entire 17-member Senate Republican caucus in voting for the bill, the Associated Press reports. "I was not comfortable' with the vote,' Worsley told the AP. "I have not been comfortable with this for some time." The controversy with this bill highlights the divisions in the Republican Party as it grapples with the changing social landscape.

A business owners Religous freedom is what it is. It doesn’t end if the customer is an approved faith.
Point is, this piece of legislation, if taken to its full meaning could easily boomerang. And the Mormon pastor who is objecting can easily see the consequences it would have on his flock. Others who could care less because it will never affect them individually probably fully support this piece of legislation.
Good intentions, poorly written.
Vetoing freedom is what McInsane is all about.
He ran that ad on stemming illegal immigration, “Build the dang fence.” Then the low information voter said, “John’s the man.”
McCain is a scumbag. I remember a campaign ad showing him in front of Duncan Hunter’s fence to show how tough he is on illegal immigration.
I Hope Jan Brewer Vetoes Gay Bill

Little Lindsay Graham couldn’t contain himself as he was heard gleefully giggling from the area of McCains’ Fruit of the Looms.
So, theoretically, you can refuse a muslim service too? That’s probably the real reason people are up in arms about this. >.<
He probably gets more democrat votes than republican. He gets no conservative votes. He has been a liar all along. I think he has at least early dementia now.
Muslims can refuse to serve us. It works the other way around for them, with nothing said (at least up here).
We’re so stupid we will rearrange the classroom seating for them - girls have to be surrounded by girls.
No surprise... john’s a poofter.
Just because someone has an (R) after their name no longer means they follow normal Republican policies.
The day we jam one beliefs down others throats and force them to do stuff that goes against thier beliefs we are no longer the Republic we were cut out to be
McCain is an example of what is greatly wrong with American politics

I hope that someone vetoes McStain.
I hate to say it but from observation of her previous vetoes Jan does what is most politically astute for Jan.
Resign you POS DemocRat, McAmnesty.
That mormons would stand with gays as they persecute Christians shows how little Religious freedom means to them.
This legislation is what the 1st amendment supports.
If mormons fear religious freedom that is their problem.
What next, rewrite the 1st amendment so Mormons can be comfortable with it???
