I'm certainly sympathetic, but this article notes that:

If Arizonans are so adamant about this issue, why do they keep electing RINOs? Your vote if your only chance to change things and if the politicians know they can sell out to big business and still get your vote they won't take you seriously.

If you will compare the population of the Ariz cities against the ranchers population, you will get your answer.

Like Kalifornia, the cities outpopulate the countryside, and they keep voting in the liberals. When you check county by county election results, you get a different footprint of the voters preferences.
