Do you think she's read SB1070, or even knows how to read? Then again she's in good company (satire!) with Homeland Security Director, US Attorney General and an undersecretary of State saying stupid things about it without having read it. Looks like Peggy is ready for national office.

Democrat County Supervisor Advocates AZ boycott for SB 1070. Does Not Know AZ/Mex Border Each Other (vid)
Democrat County Supervisor Peggy West of Milwaukee. This knucklehead claims to be of "Hispanic\Latino heritage"; states she's proud to be the first Latino on the Milwaukee County Board. Yet she had no idea that Mexico and Arizona share the border. Low standards for knowledge and intelligence for political office...well, that's become pretty standard for both local and national political office.

It is odd that there has been this big spike in right wing idiocy coming out of Arizona though. Texas has a higher background level of crazy and right now Arizona is like a supernova taking the attention. I wonder how long it will last.
Actually it isn't that strange. Arizona has been moving gradually towards the middle over the last twenty years. The population has doubled in that time and a big part of that spike wasn't old retirees who tended to be conservative, but a lot of younger families moving from blue states, etc. In 2008 McCain only received 53.4% of the vote here in Arizona, his sixth lowest vote total among the states he won. Now think about that, his home state was one of his least supportive states. Had McCain been from Texas, Florida, etc., he likely would have lost Arizona.
This state has a long history of very conservative, often racist politics and the supporters of those policies aren't happy that they are consistently losing ground to moderates and liberals (simply termed as liberals in their tirades). Because of how the state legislature is set up conservatives still have a major majority in both houses but, when Napolitano was governor, she vetoed a lot of their stupidity. In fact she set the record for vetoes in the history of the state. You take her away, bring in Brewer who is a wing-nut's wing-nut, and you see incredibly stupid legislation that was shut down by a reasonable governor make it out of the state house. At the same time you see an increase in non-conservative population as well as an increase in non-white population and the far white err, right is freaking out.
