County Supervisor, Peggy West, dumbest politician east of the Mississippi ( Updated)
by Jim Kelley on Jun. 24, 2010, under PoliticsIn a stunningly ignorant rant about Arizona’s Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SB1070), Peggy West a county supervisor from Milwaukee WI, states in part ” If this were Texas a state that borders Mexico I would have to look twice at this, but it’s Arizona, a state that is a ways removed from the border…” What adds insult to the injury of her stupidity is that she had listed one of her interests as Mexican history on her FaceBook page. The interest has since been removed.
Do I need to tell you this woman is a Democrat? Her party must be so proud.

oh wow, as a very conservative republican in WISCONSIN, i have to say that this woman has completely embarrassed our ENTIRE state! please do not send the illegals here, we dont want them either! and besides, we ARE a border state and have NUMEROUS issues with terrorissssts (said like Bush) entering here from canada. we can all walk freely back and forth over the canadian border. you simply sign yourself in and out in an honor system! luckily, the mexicans havent figured this out, otherwise they would all fly to canada and walk over LOL
by the way, piggy wests constituency is primarily illegal based. so not very surprised by any of this.

GoodLuck with electing her out of office. May I suggest that the GOP in Milwaukee indentify their candidate now and start crafting their message and intent.
