Poll: Making the Republican Hatred in AZ an Issue in Decision 2014

True or false. The Dem apparatus, including the president, senators, house members, governors, pundits, and staffers, should relentlessly beat the drum over the debacle in AZ, painting every single republican candidate in the nation with it. they should use words like bigotry, intolerance, hatred, red state, teabagger, exclusion, civil rights, and so on, starting today and continuing right through election day.

I'm sick up and fed with those who tip toe around and make excuses for liars and bigots, as if it is polite to stand in silence while they attack others but impolite to call out bigotry. It's disgusting.

but firmly disagree with permitting them to set the stage. WE go forward with POSITIVE issues, and respond firmly when they play the hateful cards.

Maybe it's my fault for leaving and allowing it to be taken over by bigots. it was not that way when I left.

There are a few other states that have had similiar legislation on the table. They need to be bunged over the head with their lack of concern in regards to civil rights. Of course there are other issues that need to be spotlighted also.
