On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

All these memes, just like Rex. Are you two playing hide the sausage?

Yep. In your mouth. Liking it, too, arncha? Certainly seems to be on your mind a lot.

Now every time you post one of your little hate memes, we'll know where you're hiding someone else's sausage. And there's nothing wrong with that. Just stop being so in the closet self-loathing about it.

I don't post hate memes. Idiots like you can't have a debate. You have you use racist or hater because you are incapable of defending failing policies.

Beleaguered West Virginia Republican's new ad: I helped bring health care coverage to the disabled

by David NirFollow for Daily Kos Elections




Have a look at the ad below. We gave it away in the headline, but if you weren't familiar with Evan Jenkins, what political party would you think he's a member of?

Mom: "When Grayson was diagnosed with autism, it truly felt like a bomb went off. We found out that the insurance companies refused this treatment that we knew could help him. It was such a lonely, devastating feeling. I decided to contact our state senator, Evan Jenkins."

Jenkins: "She told me their story, and you know, no child should be denied health care just because of a disability."

Mom: "He didn't care to go up against the big insurance companies, to make sure Grayson got what he needed. He cared so much about my son, it meant the world to me."

That messaging sounds exactly like what you might hear from a Democrat, but Jenkins is, in fact, a Republican. Funny enough, he's a recent party-switcher, recruited by the GOP to run against Rep. Nick Rahall, but perhaps Jenkins hasn't entirely forgotten his Democratic past.

And he definitely hasn't forgotten that a spate of polls have shown him getting mashed by Rahall, after months of ads hammering for—get this—supporting the repeal of Obamacare. Okay, not in so many words, but one provision of the ACA made it easier for coal miners to obtain black lung benefits, which of course would get shredded if the law were somehow overturned.

So Jenkins, remarkably enough, is now trying to demonstrate that he, too, cares about expanding health coverage for the less fortunate. What's even more amazing is that he's running in West Virginia, in a district that gave Barack Obama just 33 percent of the vote. At one point, in fact, Rahall looked like a dead man walking, thanks in large part to the president's deep unpopularity here, but now it's Jenkins who's on the defensive.

And if he's turning to a message that could have been written by a Democratic media consultant despite campaigning for a dark red seat, imagine what Republicans elsewhere are thinking these days.

Back to name calling again. Suck on it. You know you want to. You know you like it.

That is anything but a model, as Rex claimed. For it to be a model, you would have to follow the path that Iraq took. No outside help in the Arab spring, all internally done via the will of the people.

It would have been acceptable to say that the Arab Spring was a consequence of the invasion of Iraq, but it was not the model for the Arab Spring.

And then follow it with this?

You are lame.

You have shorter memory than a goldfish. Then again you are also a liar.

How many Dems that are running for office, are trying to distance themselves from Obama right now? Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky isn't running towards Obama, she is running away. You will also notice that she doesn't address him as "President Obama" she calls him Barrack Obama. Interesting is it not?

It was only question, why didn't you answer it?

More incomprehensible blather, drunk or tongue tied by someone's sausage?

Sam Brownback’s failed ‘experiment’ puts state on path to penury
http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/sam-brownbacks-failed-experiment-puts-state-on-path-to-penury/2014/09/21/ded58846-3eb2-11e4-9587-5dafd96295f0_story.html

GOV. SAM BROWNBACK of Kansas says he has come to regret characterizing his policy agenda as a “real live experiment” that would test the efficacy of deep tax cuts to spur jobs and economic growth. In fact, Mr. Brownback’s choice of words was apt. Few if any governors have undertaken such an extreme trial-by-revenue-deprivation in a state so clearly lacking the economic means to withstand it.

Now, as the damaging social and budgetary impacts of his slash-and-burn fiscal measures have become apparent, Mr. Brownback, a conservative Republican seeking reelection this fall in a state where every statewide elected official is also a Republican, is in the disorienting position of trailing his Democratic challenger in the polls.

Mr. Brownback’s Kansas trial is rapidly becoming a cautionary tale for conservative governors elsewhere who have blithely peddled the theology of tax cuts as a painless panacea for sluggish growth. Most key indicators suggest that job creation and economic growth in Kansas are lagging those of its neighbors.

Mr. Brownback has cherry-picked the statistics to suggest that things aren’t as bad as they seem, while arguing that it’s still too early — more than a year and a half after his cuts were enacted — to gauge their full impact. Meanwhile, Wall Street’s bond rating agencies, taking note of plummeting tax revenue and a siphoning off of the state’s reserves to cover current and projected deficits, have weighed in with their own verdict: Moody’s cut Kansas’s credit rating last spring, and Standard & Poor’s followed suit last month.

GOP strategist gets scolded on Texas TV for calling rape, incest victims ‘minor issues’
Source: Raw Story

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Wendy Davis said this week that comments made by one of her opponent’s surrogates calling rape and incest “minor issues” prove that the Republican Party does not value women.

During a debate on Lone Star Politics, which is produced by The Dallas Morning News and KXAS, Democratic strategist Matt Angle reminded viewers that Republican candidate Greg Abbott even opposed abortion in cases of rape and incest.

“He would impose himself and others like himself in the government to decide,” Angle said.

GOP strategist Matt Mackowiak shot back that a ban on abortion was “the law of the land” because Davis had not been successful with her attempt to filibuster it.

You can stop over compensating now.

Overcompensating for you and someone else's blather? Is English your second language? You poor little pathetic poop. Tell us again how you take the high ground and never post anything hateful. Or are you going in for some more sausage?

How Rich Men Are Taking the Lunch Money Away From Broken-Down Schools

How Rich Old Men Are Taking the Lunch Money Away From Broken-Down Schools
by Paul Buchheit

Cuts to Head Start and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program have taken food away from schoolchildren. The cuts are directly related to the dramatic dropoff in federal corporate tax revenue.

Tax avoidance is just as bad at the state level, which is a much greater source of K-12 educational funding. Both individuals and corporations are paying less state taxes than ever before. As a result, our public schools, the most important expression of a society working together to secure future generations, are being defunded and dismantled and left to decay.

It may be the ugliest extreme of inequality in our country -- tax avoidance by the rich vs. broken-down schools.

Rich Male Tax Avoidance

According to a Standard and Poor's analysis, average annual state tax revenue fell from 10% to 5% between 1980 and 2011, even as the share of total income for the top 1% of earners doubled. The top 10% and the top 500 CEOs are predominately white males. Our country's missing tax revenue can be found in their growing stock portfolios.

Corporate Tax Cheats

Walgreens and Burger King are the most recent manifestations of the so-called inversions that allow companies to skip out on the country that made them successful. They don't want to pay for decades of publicly funded research in technology and medicine; a legal system that protects patents and intellectual property; infrastructure, including roads and seaports and airports to ship their products; unprecedented amounts of local and national security, a nationwide energy grid to power factories, emergency management (FEMA) to clean up industrial accidents.
