Libertarian nominee for Governor, Barry Hess weighs in on the only thing Democrat, Janet Napolitano and Republican, Len Munsil can find to disagree on-the great Arizona 9-11 memorial debate. 

When asked for his input, Mr. Hess replied, "It doesn't surprise me that this is all they can come up with to distinguish themselves as a reason to vote for them.  The problem is that neither one of them ever seems to posses the ability to go to the root of the issue.  The very first thing they should have determined is, what is it?  Is it a tribute to the innocent lives lost on 9-11, or is it a memorial of the event?

If it is a tribute to the innocent dead, then the politically-charged slogans are clearly misplaced and should be removed.  If it is a monument memorializing a tragic event that is surrounded by a multitude of dubious official explanations of what actually happened when innocent lives were caught up in something bigger than them and lost in a politically-induced inevitability, then the outrage expressed in the slogans is well, and rightfully placed.

Why didn't the Republican or the Democrat first establish what it is supposed to be?  Because they are both just using it as a soapbox, and it's shameful they would each use it in an attempt to garner votes.  The public really should reflect on the fact that if these are the best candidates the Republican/Democrat Party could come up with, maybe neither is their best option for Governor."
