Of course they never bothered to ask ALL of the candidates.

I mentioned earlier that you can find all of the candidates' answers on a range of subjects at:

Thanks for the hard hitting journalism Max. Looks like me and Jim are the only ones who almost give a blip. I almost hit the link to see what Mike and Asa have to say about education- actually I never came close....

First line of business in "Education Policy" is:

A) Get all the facts - Mike and Asa are not the only candidates, just the richest.

B) Tell the whole truth - Rod and Jim are the other half of the gubernatorial equation.

C) Don't dumb down the public - neglecting to "educate" others regarding points A and B means a failed education system and a creditless survey.

I will never allow my children to attend a school that lies, betrays, and dumbs down. UA (and ASU) are not institutions of higher education, but rather factories of small-minded administrators and, in many cases, professors, teaching students how to ignore the truth, get in line, and make money no matter the cost. What a fine example for the next generation to follow.

I almost skipped this thread, because I have already decided who I am voting for in the upcoming election.

I'm glad I didn't.

R4G, I assume you know that your candidate is not going to be the next governor. Insulting graduates of two of the state's universities won't gain any votes.

And your comments just soured me on your candidate.

Asa's surveys are online. Beebe's refusing to give up the goods even though eh said he's give his surveys to anyone who asked.

What a bold-faced lie.

I have a survey for ASA. Should gay people be stoned to death or slowly tortured?

Why does he fear gay people?

Does he think that the Huckster is hiring Illegal aliens in state jobs? iF so can he provide an example? He seems to imply that in his ads.

It sounds like the man is losing. .
