Wait a sec. Indians get to vote in American elections but get to live on "sovereign" land (i.e another nation), pay no taxes and open casinos?

The sprawling 1st District includes Flagstaff, the Navajo Nation and most of Pinal County.

Opportunist. Just like McCain.
Rino. Just like McCain.
Lying liberal. Just like McCain.

Carlyle Begay was rated 42% by American Conservative Union.

The Guys a moderate at best which is
still a liberal.

To put it another way “Moderate” means liberal lite. Which means “LIBERAL!”

“Indians get to vote in American elections but get to live on “sovereign” land”

As long as they vote Democrat. They even let wetbacks vote
as long as they vote Democrat or in this case a lying
liberal who says he’s a conservative republican like McCain.

That’s right.
Almost on is still off.
Almost right is still wrong.
Almost true is still false and
almost conservative is still liberal.

Indian votes keep us stuck with Ann Kirkpatric, along with the liberals that choke us here in Flagstaff.

Kirkpatrick is my rep too, and I’m in Maricopa in Pinal County. The 1st congressional district is huge and incongruous. At least I don’t have Grijalva anymore, so there’s that.
