AZ-06 Republican Congressional Primary: Jeff Flake vs. Jeff Smith = Vampire Edward vs. Werewolf Jacob


The choice facing voters in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District in the August 24 Republican primary between Jeff Flake and Jeff Smith is like the choice between Jacob and Edward in Twilight.

Like that vampire-vs.-werewolf rivalry, the AZ-06 primary is a choice for morons created by a moron.

For Arizona's working families, it means: Do they want the blood sucked out of them by a congressman with the work ethic and compassion of a corpse or to be violently attacked by a dopey werewolfish corporate lackey?

It's twilight for America, no matter who wins.

The real question, of course, is what a member of Congress can do for average people who want the competence both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson sadly lack as actors.

We can summarize the contest for the AZ-06 Republican primary by substituting the names of the clueless candidates for the wooden actors in a leading movie critic's review:

Jeff Smith seems to have recently escaped from a high school cheerleading squad somewhere while Jeff Flake’s right-wing pouts convey the peevishness of a guy who just lost a Greta Garbo lookalike contest — for the third time in a row! — to his own girlfriend.
