Comments on: Edwin Leslie Stands Up To Governor Jan Brewer, Makes a Lot of Sense About Cents http://www.autostraddle.com/edwin-leslie-stands-up-to-governor-jan-brewer-makes-a-lot-of-sense-about-cents-141208/ The World's Most Popular Independently-Owned Website for Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Women Tue, 21 May 2013 08:54:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Dani http://www.autostraddle.com/edwin-leslie-stands-up-to-governor-jan-brewer-makes-a-lot-of-sense-about-cents-141208/#comment-220819 Dani Sat, 14 Jul 2012 16:38:08 +0000 http://www.autostraddle.com/?p=141208#comment-220819 “Brewer claims that petitioning the Supreme Court to let Arizona halt these healthcare benefits is a cost-cutting measure for her state.”

Her little pseudo-argument doesn’t even make sense. You don’t get to arbitrarily stop providing benefits to a portion of the population because it costs too much.

Why aren’t they pointing out the ridiculous level of hypocrisy in this situation, and every situation in which the Republicans blather on about state rights and limited government only to turn around and try to use federal powers to enact big government policies? It makes me crazy.

Which is refreshing. Although I always feel confused when people resign in protest because it feels like they take away their own power to make a difference. Unless he was also resigning because he was losing that particular benefit.

Also can we please talk about that rainbow money image?

I seriously don’t understand the whole hoopla surrounding states’ rights for your country, really. Because this shit completely undermines the whole point of it. Bitch about having “state rights” when it suits their bigoted agenda, but use federal sources to propagate it? Fuck that noise.
