On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

Billy said something interesting to the Madcow...

Mitch is like the blind trying to lead those with sight...

He's an idiot; he wants everybody to live in fear. It's more likely that any individual will be killed in their own cars driving close to home.

We have idiots like McConnell as our congressman.

Another republican moron that needs to be sent packing... The blame for such idiocy rests firmly on the Texas governor. With such blaring stupidity yes, Texas could easily become a blue state...

Never happen. The Texans have been thoroughly brainwashed by their state schools to believe conservative dogma. Kind of like religious indoctranation.

The internet is undoing a lot of the attempts at indoctrination... Simply, if the republicans don't change their hard lines they will most definitely be marginalized. I remember when MTV came to my small town in Maine where I spent a great part of my childhood. Almost overnight the town was transformed from goobers and hicks to rockers and semi-progressives. Social media should not be underestimated, especially by republicans and despots... Change is a coming regardless, so one shouldn't let it catch them in their unawares...

52.0% of Texas voters now support recognizing the marriages of same-gender couples from states that currently allow marriage; an increase in support

BTW I used to live in Dallas Texas and it was a party town for sure...

Twenty years ago gays walked hand in hand down the street in parts of Dallas without much of a problem at all... I would assume today it is even more so open to diversity. Houston maybe even more than Dallas is quite a progressive city.

That's true~! Houston probably has the greatest numbers of liberals in the state.

Children nationwide have been indoctrinated into liberalism in government/public schools for decades... this explains the 'dumbmasses' the nation is dealing with today. It's hard to believe, but students currently in the system will be even dumber than those that came before them. The Soviet style of education this nation is using has long reaching negative effects that make it increasingly difficult for the USA to be competitive. Liberal Idiocracy is the desired effect... mission accomplished.

Waterman, why dont you take a long walk off a short pier. Maybe it might cure you of being such a jerk.

Does watered brain mix with water? LOL

I struck a sensitive nerve in you, that's a good sign.

The truth will set you free

Bomb the **** out of another country and kill tens of thousands of innocents; that's part and parcel of the GOP's good socialism - there's not enough tax income that can support these heinous crimes. More for wars to kill, and cut universal health care at home.

We don't need no more tax revenue for our schools; they're already wasting too much money!

More important to support wars and guns!

Brownback adds handwritten message on anti-abortion bill

Rand Paul and his papi like to associate themselves with the libertarian party yet, Rand is one of the most outspoken anti-tax politicians, meaning he is clearly bought off by the big corporations. How can one be both libertarian and bought off by big corporate America? Liberty and justice FOR ALL... Not just the fat cats on wall street...

How can liberty survive such a greedy oligarchy?

Being a "Mainer" (long time resident of the state of Maine) I first hand know what a "libertarian" is...

They were/are people who moved to Maine (and other wilderness states) and bought or inherited a piece of land. They made a dirt road into the land or just walked into the wilderness and rarely if ever came out to socialize.

These are the people who these "libertarian" tax exempt laws are designed to protect NOT corporations holding 99% of the world's wealth...

How can one in good conscience confuse the two?
