Melvin: A Member of the "Coalition of the heartless, clueless and confused"

State Senator Al Melvin disdainfully brushed off any concerns he might have about reports that Democratic legislative candidates Cheryl Cage and Representative Nancy Young Wright have outraised Republican adversaries more than two to one in the last campaign finance reporting period.

He made excuses to the Tucson Weekly (See Democratic Double: LD26 Dems Way Ahead in Fundraising  that the reason for the successful Democratic fundraising is because the Democrats are "scared." (Didn't he say he would not talk to the "liberal" media?)  He said “I think there’s going to be a Republican tsunami in November,” the Republican freshman says. “And I think they see it coming. I think they’re desperate… and they’re trying to throw a bunch of money at (the race).”

He actually thinks that he represents the voters of LD 26 and does not shy away from his support for what he calls a mainstream agenda that favors the few over the rest of us. These extreme views and a voting record loyal to his Phoenix bosses that strands the majority of Arizona voters and boosts corporate monopolies make a vote for Al Melvin, a vote against a secure future for Arizona.

He's clinging to a leaky life raft  and has faith that the market will "lift all boats."  It hasn't happened yet as thousands of desperate jobless Arizonans will tell you.  Long ago hopes and dreams of many Arizonans for a good education, life saving health care, and a secure financial future were sunk by card carrying Arizona members of what economist Paul Krugman terms "a coalition of the heartless, clueless and the confused."
