    Given that Miller's loss was a given, the classy move would have been to concede and then work towards amending the election laws/procedures.
    Naturally, that was never going to happen...Miller has no class and forcing the state to squander money on useless recounts, enriching more lawyers and tying up the courts was his choice instead.

    Funny how t-baggers like to crow about "the will of the people" until the will goes against them, then it becomes government intrusion.

    First, t-baggers is quite insulting when you realize what it means.

    It's a grass-roots movement and as long as it never has any real leadership-- thus it can never be bought off or threatened off-- it remains a very serious threat to the left-wing agenda. And that is why it is hated so much.

    Second, I could say the same thing about the liberal media. Watching the nightly news it is quite obvious they are outraged that the election swept their beloved democrats out of power in the House. They only care about the "will of the people" when the elections go their way.

    You're getting this just now?

    The "movement" is not now, nor has it ever been, a "grassroots" organization.
    It was completely astroturfed by corporate and oldboy operatives.

    Ah, the old "liberal media" canard again.
    Don't you have any new lies to propagate?
    Let's see some examples of the "outrage" by mainstream media you find so obvious.

    Ah yes, that's why the r.i.n.o. Republicans are so upset by the tea party movement, huh? Or is it because this is a grass roots movement over which they have no control, and if they don't go along with the tea party, they too will eventually be swept out of power?

    Your thinking has become so clouded and foggy that you can't see the obvious bias against conservatives in the media. And talk about lies and propaganda! That's all the left side has.

    So, no examples of this "obvious" bias against conservatives, eh?
    The most watched cable network is FOX, which is nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Republican party and several studies have shown that conservatives are actually overrepresented on talk shows (mainly because they're so colorfully stupid that they make for interesting viewing).

    On a different note...
    Now that you got your tax cuts, how many new employees has your company hired?

They have been doing very biased reports against the newly elected tea party representatives, including an interview with the new representative for the Eagar / Flagstaff area: Paul Gosar.


    The most watched cable network is FOX, Hmmm... I wonder why? Maybe because it is one of the few remaining balanced networks where the conservative point of view can still be seen?


    which is nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Republican party and several studies have shown that conservatives are actually overrepresented on talk shows (mainly because they're so colorfully stupid that they make for interesting viewing). Or could it be that the majority of Americans are still center-right, and not lefties like you?

    Not a single one so far this year. What you don't understand is that they weren't tax cuts. They merely kept the taxes from going back up higher. If they had, we would have had to let go of a few employees in Alpine, Arizona and Luna, New Mexico.

    No child, they were tax cuts.
    So, all that bull about "uncertainty" troubling business owners was just that...bull.
    You get the cuts and still nothing.

    Pretty much as expected, trickle down economics was a lie when Reagan made it up and it's never proven true since.

    This is the trouble. You're listening to/looking for a point of view when you should be looking for facts.

    Bias on any side isn't the problem. Dishonest nonfactual reporting is
    When I was a kid I was told "We do these things not because they're easy, but because they're hard"

    Now all I hear is " I won't do anything unless there's something in it for me"
