Actions speak more than words
27 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I found this book to be both eye opening and gut wrenching. I have long ago stopped watching the news channels. I am an Independent and have been closely following the GOP race and polls on the net. While browsing I came across a blog about the tarmac incident..... curious about the cause I bought the book. The book comes across as very authentic. If I had any doubts, the hateful personal attacks from those who obviously did not read the book proves just how true it is. What is gut wrenching is the president is now raising the stakes and repeating the same behavior, except it is at the national level and pitting Americans against each other. It is the same ploy.... point the finger at the 1%, it is their fault we don't have jobs, their fault the housing market is still falling with 4 million foreclosures this year (despite being put on hold due to fraud), their fault we have an anemic economy, and their fault the dollar is free falling. The reason for the financial crisis is corruption. Four years later no one has been convicted. But, billions and billions of bail outs, incentives, etc. have continued, without even forcing the primary players in the crisis out of their jobs. Not one person is sitting in jail for the biggest case of corruption, fraud, and insider trading between Washington and Wall Street ever. It started with Republicans and then continued with the Democrats. Instead of doing his job and doing the things I voted him in office to do, he is deliberately inciting class warfare (e.g., 1% predominantly white republican race warfare) by blaming others. I believe history will judge this president harshly. That is if the America I know and love survives his presidency. I have been a swing voter and 100% of the presidents I have voted for have been elected. I don't really like any of the Republican candidates, but I can assure you this swing vote will go to anyone who can beat Obama. I am praying my luck in selecting the winning candidate holds. Anyone who is concerned about the rhetoric you are hearing right now needs to read this book. Governor Brewer's actions to protect her state's citizens speaks volumes louder than all the slanderous words from her detractors. And the President's actions speak volumes about the words that will be coming out of his mouth this year.

Outstanding telling of border struggles...
26 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is an outstanding description of the challenges faced by border states and the denial of federal politicians anxious to corner the hispanic vote. Reviews for this book obviously fall along party lines but the despicable motivations of those on the left intent on rupturing the rule of law re immigration in the name of gaining or maintaining power will leave you numb. Immigration is great as long as it's legal. 5 stars for courage and leadership Governor!

Insightful for someone interested in state vs. fed
26 Jan 2012
Format:Hardcover
Honest and insightful.
We are bombarded with the medias take on events in AZ and one sides negative portrait of those in AZ who live on the front lines.
If you believe people in AZ who are against illegal immigration are racist then you should read this book. At least then you can say you honestly listened to the other side.
