In an attempt to ensure that the public conflation of church and state stays conflated, the Arizona Republican Party met this past week in a Phoenix mega church to chart the state party's political future. Last November the Arizona state GOP lost almost every race for statewide office, with the state superintendent of public instruction being the only race which they were able to win. This week the state’s GOP chieftains met in a big church to come up with a path to victory through some clever, punitive ways of increasing their vote totals.
It has just been just a very few years since Arizona Republicans would routinely win every election - but, oh my, how things have changed! Now, they are losing most elections - a situation that some blame on the party’s RINOs - Republicans In Name Only.
One method that Republicans have used in the past to corral wayward members is a censure, a move whereby certain politicians are officially called out and ostracized by their party for not showing enough enthusiasm for party officials, candidates, or policies. Over the past few years the Arizona Republican Party has censured former US Senator John McCain as well as his wife, Cindy, and former Arizona GOP governor Doug Doocy. Now, however, Republicans are figuring out that a censure just by itself probably isn't enough of a deterrent to keep their party members in line.
At this week’s GOP meeting in Phoenix, some ideas on enhanced censures were put forth. One committee member suggested making a censure more memorable by duct-taping politicians who were insufficiently loyal to the party’s screed to trees in a dog park, thus allowing the dogs to come by and pee on the disloyal politicos. The GOP central planner who put forth that idea also wanted to keep the offending politicians taped to their trees for several hours in order that make certain that they would be forced to crap in their pants while being bound in public.
This suggestion for an advanced censure perhaps tells us more about the current state of the Arizona GOP than most of us really wanted to know! And the absolute lack of respect that the plan shows toward the dogs of Arizona is outrageous, immoral, and completely unforgivable!

It sounds as though Arizona Republicans do not deserve to win elections - or to enjoy the very good company of dogs!
