DeeDee Garcia Blase, a Scottsdale resident who is president and founder of the Somos Republicans, had an interesting take on the tragic events of Jan. 8 and a Maricopa County Republican Party meeting she attended that day.
You can read her opinion here. It was published Monday, Jan. 10 in the Santa Fe New Mexican.
A snippet:
I was in line to place my vote into the ballot box at the Maricopa County GOP meeting when I heard about Congresswoman Gabby Giffords being shot.
I was in the process of trying to help vote out our “Neanderthal” chairman, Robert Haney. When we learned of Gabby being shot, I was shocked that the Maricopa County GOP leadership did not stop the meeting to hold a much-needed and important prayer.
While in shock and in disbelief, I heard snickers in the distance and muffled voices asserting that the shooting was probably “done by an illegal.” I was quickly reminded of the deputy who said he was shot in the desert by drug smugglers and the controversy that surrounded that.

So you post only opinions that you agree with in this paper, but you don’t want any opposing viewpoints. I just pointing out the hypocrisy of Mrs. Garcia Blase. That she points out the ignorance of the people at the GOP meeting, but then she shows her own ignorance. I would post it again, but it probably will be deleted. It is pretty cowardly to delete my posts and not tell me why you deleted them. I have read far worse on comment sections of this paper.
