Len Munsil's Case of Denial

Len Munsil’s assessment of Gov. Napolitano’s performance indicates a plain misreading of who is responsible for what. He blames the Governor for a high crime rate, yet most of the state’s elected police officials and those who set crime-prevention policy are Republicans. He complains about poor schools, yet the State Superintendent and the legislature that funds Education is controlled by Republicans. He says the Governor wants to raise taxes yet those who control the budget process and have a demonstrable lack of foresight that would make any tax increase necessary are Republicans. He criticizes the Governor for the record number of vetoes, yet forgets the leaders of the legislature who sent to the Governor bills that deserved to be vetoed are Republicans. He blames the Governor for not spending state resources to defend the border, yet those who really are responsible for doing nothing to protect the border are Republicans.

Well, Mr. Munsil, it sure looks to this voter like Republicans are the problem and not Janet Napolitano. And yes, this means you won’t be getting my vote.
