And then blames his own mother for his comments. Classy.

Angered over State Sen. Debbie Lesko's (R-Glendale) support for an expanded school-voucher system, Rep. Jesus Rubalcava (D-Yuma) wrote that he wanted to throat-punch her.

In a comment thread, Rubalcava discussed Lesko's bill, which would allow public money to be used to help families who want to send their kids to private schools or tutoring sessions.

Rubalcava later deleted the comments, but not before the paper captured them in a screenshot.

Rubalcava later apologized on the House floor in Phoenix, and added that he was raised by a single mother.

Where do they dig up these politicians?

How many of you know people who would talk this way in public? How many of you know people who think an island might tip over?

Yet they get elected. And re-elected.

He is proud to be a bastard?

Typical. Add an anecdote that has nothing to do with the issue at all just to try and draw sympathy.

Unless all single mothers punch their kids in the throat.

My single mother didn't throat punch me or my brother. She probably wanted to at times but she didn't.

They get Them from Years of rounding them up at neighborhood bars on election day and paying them to vote Democrat. Some actually learn that this type of work is very lucrative by not having to really do anything but sign some legislation papers the DNC tells them to. No brain cells required.

Best part of the story is that the legislation passed. Now any student in Arizona can receive a state funded education savings account that can be used at any school. Only unfortunate thing is that the total number awarded is capped and it's on a first come basis. Next step is to make available to any student who wants one.

The real question is: why does the voucher issue generate this kind of hostility?

Well, we can't have genuine equality of opportunity now can we? That would be too much like the democrats actually delivering something.

It's baffling why any democrat would want to deny any of the children of their poorer constituents opportunities to get a quality education. Well, it would be if democrats were logical.

Well this Representative is also a public school teacher so he hates it both ideologically and because he sees it as a threat on the state sanctioned monopoly he earns his living from.
