Perhaps, but survival tends to clarify the mind.

She would have been credible only if she had threatened a veto which was safe since the law would have been struck down. I think she crumbled under pressure from the NFL and chamber(s) of commerce. Da Wimp.

I think it's obvious that was the case.

"The Center for Arizona Policy, which has been behind several pieces of conservative social legislation here, has deep ties to Republicans in the State Capitol and was once a close ally of Ms. Brewer’s. They parted ways last year after the center’s president, Cathi Herrod, campaigned hard against the governor’s plan to expand Medicaid, arguing that because the program paid for certain services provided by Planned Parenthood, it also funded abortions, even if indirectly.
Chuck Coughlin, who was the chairman of Ms. Brewer’s transition team and has remained a close adviser, said in an interview that he had told Ms. Herrod that her organization was “over the tip of its skis,” on the verge of losing its relevance because of its “very narrow social agenda.”
On Thursday, Ms. Herrod listened attentively to the debate on the House floor, nodding emphatically as State Representative Debbie Lesko, the Republican sponsor of the abortion measure, delivered a passionate defense of it, saying there was no reason the clinics should not be subjected to surprise inspections “like the kind of inspections that happen at Burger King and McDonald’s.”

Wow, man. These holy steamrollers are slow learners.

Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?

Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Wyatt Earp: What does he need?

Doc Holliday: Revenge.

Wyatt Earp: For what?

Doc Holliday: Bein' born.

From the 1993 Movie "Tombstone"

You put out some pretty specific numbers Dude.

31% of Latinos favored same-sex marriage and more than half 56% oppose it

40% of Blacks favored same-sex marriage and 48% oppose it

A year long study by pew shows that 61 percent of Democrats support gay marriage leaving how many that don't?

I'm afraid that siteing "common knowledge" isn't going to cut the Mustard.

I'm real sorry that the right wing outfit that pays you to post only gave you the percentages with no link to any documentation.

That's a bummer, but it's not my problem.

Maybe you should try their toll free help line and see if the Pakistani guy in their call center can help you out.
