Arizona governor vetoes bill making gold, silver legal tender

[SkepticalMetal]

Were any of you expecting anything different? Sort of like people who really thought Ron Paul had a chance at the White House.

charge her with TREASON

 

[enjerth]

Biggest BS reason I've ever heard.

Oh, come on. She made two very good points.
1) We all lose a little bit.
2) There are select individuals who, by no right of their own, will prosper from it.
That means that the legislation is no good at all. The demerits of it's side effects are monstrous. No?

 

[ninepointfive]

Her reasoning is weak. Very weak. She sounds like a spineless squishy. Probably right at home with Arizona's resident squishy Senator.

yeah, she's a squish

Of all the horrible things male politicians have done... I don't think I've ever seen this type of angry (sexist) hostility towards them. Bitch, cunt, really?

She's a fool for her reasoning, but that's as far as I will go with that.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I agree with you. It's talking like this that fuels the notion that libertarians are all sexists/racists or whatever. Calling someone a "bitch" and a "cunt" is not going to do anything good for the promotion of liberty, nor does it make any sense whatsoever being that the majority of politicians who pass this crap are men.

Seems like this may be in part to spite libertarians, because gold and silver as legal tender is one of our big policy positions.

 

[jllundqu]

For some reason she remains rather popular among self-proclaimed conservatives here in AZ.

I hate our Governor... truly

 

[Keith and stuff]

That sucks. At least it is legal in UTah and NEw Hampshire. Basically, you just need a state without a sales tax or capital gains tax. It still violates federal law, though.

Maybe you could set it up that when someone types 1 of those words, it appears as care bear or pony. That would be a way to improve the low reputation of this forum. Or you could directly edit the comments.

Republicans see a loss of tax revenue as a reason to veto a bill. So much so that they can just casually give that reason without a second thought and expect no one to notice.

That's something to remember, and remind people of.

What BS nonsense... read that slick statement

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed a measure on Thursday that would have made gold and silver legal tender in the state, saying the legislation could have resulted in lost tax revenue.

What everyone needs to realize, the party 'Alpha Designator' doesn't matter anymore. It's apparent these lawyered-up silver-tongue devil politicians, are just whores to big business and big government. You'll experience today, both parties sell the people out, doesn't matter whether it's at the Federal, State, or local levels. Graft, Fraud, Racketeering, Greed, Corruption continues

Greed, Money, and Taxation powers are the controls of Politicians. It's the 2 wings of the 'Party of One'

PS: All the social shit split between parties are just low costs memes to keep the serfs occupied, bickering at one another, while government steals money out of your pockets.

If you're a tyrant you get called a f@ggot, cunt, slut, shit eating maggot.

Tyrants are tyrants. The men get called f@ggots (not to be confused with homosexual) and the women get called cunts. Fair is fair.

Try to ruin my life and hold me down as a peasant and I show no mercy.

It's not sexist to call a cunt a cunt.

You're right, if it was a dude I wouldn't have used the word cunt, or bitch. Well, maybe "son of a bitch", but I probably would have used the word asshole. Or motherfucker.

Otherwise the hostility is still there regardless of the presence or absence of lady parts, I assure you.

I'll believe your sincere when you express your feelings over the name calling directed at males on a daily basis.

From the perspective of you and I and typical folks in the Liberty movement, that's good. Unfortunately, outside of our merry band of refuseniki, the booboisie just doesn't agree. There are some loud-mouthed people *ahem*Barry Young*ahem* who think that our pet issues-like free market money and secession-are kook/fringe and will not even engage the subject(s).

I agree... Would it be OK to just call her an asshole?

Also -- what is to stop people from using gold and/or silver in barter transactions? You may not be able to use it at the grocery store or to pay your water bill, but couldn't people still use PMs for private transactions, and/or with small business owners who were in agreement?
