Well…have been thinking about how to do a political one today and came up with this one….I think I’ll just do a few one liners and see what happens…it is making me smile that ole Scott Walker is in trouble in Wisconsin…I’ve said this before…if we vote, we win…so I hope they throw this idiot in the dustbin where he belongs…the same thing here in Michigan where ole Snyder is tied with Schauer and no one even knows Schauer yet…I hope the people here send the nerd back to his mansion so we can repeal right to work, the abortion restrictions, and the tax on pensions he and his tea party buddies rammed through….I really do like the commercials being run against Land here, too, pointing out that her entire campaign has been funded by the Koch’s and also highlighting the pollution they are responsible for…one other thing that looks good is that ole Brownback is losing in Kansas where he has instituted all of the repub pushed economic theories of tax cuts for the rich and business…and guess what? The state is almost last in job growth and has had to slash funding for their schools since they have no tax revenues anymore…and the people there are tired of the right wing hooey and the damage done to their state by his band of idiots…okay, that’s enough for now…one more to go….

Bye, bye Scotty…
Well…i will admit I’m a little gleeful with the document dump that came out of Wisconsin over the past couple of days that shows that ole Scott Walker knew that his public employees who worked for the county where he was executive were illegally using county time and resources to support his campaign for governor….something he has said over and over that he knew nothing about. How’s that lying working out for you, Scotty? Not to mention this is public corruption that is a high misdemeanor and the same thing that at least one of those aides has gone to jail for. So, I call on the prosecutor there to take this new evidence and charge the idiot…I am heartened that there are still investigations going on in this matter and that is what should come out of it…let’s keep counting…third repub governor this year to be shown to be the criminal thugs that we on the left know they are…and again, just shows how the repubs don’t think the laws apply to them…only to the little guys like you and me…geez…
Politics are coming back…
Well…I have been waiting for the congress to get back into session so I can comment on the idiocy that comes out of the right almost…no, every day….oh, and one if most stupid politicians out there, Scott Walker, had to comment on the battle to extend UI benefits saying that they shouldn’t be extended since anyone can just go out and get a job and the benefits just allow people to be lazy mooches…oh, and that no one that is unemployed is qualified to work since their skills are not up to date…do you get the incongruity there? So, anyone can just go out and get a job but they can’t because they have no skills? What a piece of crap this guy is…first, the advanced manufacturing jobs that Walker is touting and that the unemployed is supposed to not have the skills for just don’t exist…especially in the workers utopia of Wisconsin that Walker runs…where are the 250,000 jobs you promised Scott? That your tax cuts and union busting was supposed to deliver? Just another idiot on the right that has no clue about the economy but what their ideology tells them…not the truth….geez…
Need to pick on Walker again…
Well…I am feeling considerably better now that I have my Walkman working again and I have played 5 songs without the battery going dead..so, I thought I pick on one of my favorite targets again and his dismal record of job creation that has been mirrored in every other state that is run by the repubs…the latest data from the BLS shows that Wisconsin’s job creation rate under Walker is less than half the national average and trails dem run states by as much as 50%…yep, Walker, the poster boy for the repub agenda of right to work for less, less taxes for corporations, and union busting has basically trashed Wisconsin’s economy by that nonsense…just as Snyder has done here in Michigan…where the only job growth has been in the auto industry and whose assistance by the federal government was opposed by every repub here in this state. I can’t stress this enough…the states are laboratories for repub ideas and by the objective numbers in every measure, they fall far short of progressive policies that serve to protect the middle class and reign in the egregious income inequality that the repub policies are designed to make worse while they enrich the 1%. I will be really interested to see how this idiot spins these numbers…oh, that’s right, they go by gut feel, not no stinkin numbers…geez…
Scott Walker dives to a new low…
Well…if it wasn’t already clear that ole Scott was delusional, the latest fundraising letter from his office should make it crystal…I am still marveling at the sheer audacity of the concept…well…what this letter said was the good repubs should not buy presents for their kids for christmas, but instead give the money to ole Scott for his re-election campaign. After all, the letter goes on, the electronics, clothes or other things will just be broken or worn out so what’s the point? Just give your 8 year old a receipt for the contribution and let them play with that. Kids like empty boxes better anyway, right? This has got to be one of the stupidist things I have ever heard but it seems just right from ole Scott….how much more of a “war on christmas” can you be for than to take the presents away from children? This is going to grow them many, many new converts to the repub religion isn’t it? Just can’t keep from laughing at this one….geez…
Wisconsin and Minnesota…
Well…read a really interesting article somewhere today where economists compared the economies of Minnesota and Wisconsin and how they are performing in economic growth and job creation….one of the things that makes this really interesting is that Wisconsin is controlled and run by repub policies that are mirrors of what the repubs want to do and have done on a national level…and that is attack the unions, cut taxes for corporations, cut education funding and then have faith that this crap will work when it goes counter to accepted economic theory. Where has this gotten Wisconsin with Walker in charge? Almost 40th in job growth since Walker took office with only 90K jobs created when he made the election promise that his policies would add over 250K jobs in the first year of his term…and economic growth is in the bottom half of the states, too. Now lets look at Minnesota, a democratic controlled state that has embraced the unions, raised taxes on corporations, and has invested more in education and training…well, guess what? they are 5th in job creation, tied with another Dem controlled state, California who both have implemented fact based economic policies that look to help workers instead of corporations. Again, Minnesota is in the top ten in economic growth of any state, and they haven’t taken away womens rights or tried to decimate the middle class by taking away the right to organize. So, it’s pretty clear what works and what doesn’t…so, let’s remember that when ole Walker tries to lie his way into the repub nomination in 2016…geez…
Scott Walker is at it again…
Well…there is no other description necessary for ole Scott of Wisconsin than that of a liar and a thief…the latest outrage centers on what he is doing for his cronies that work for him in the state government…with controls on the amount of pay he can pay his synchophants, he has devised a scheme to circumvent the laws of the state by moving them into phantom jobs and raising their pay since it is a “new” position even though they continue to do the same job they had before….then, he does this a few more times, allowing him to reward these cronies while he cuts the pay of union workers and takes away their rights…this is the face of modern republicanism that I have railed about here for years…they hate government until they find ways to use it to steal for their friends and donors….this crap should be illegal and this hypocrite should be in jail….geez…
A few things…
Well…amid all the doom and gloom over Scott Walker keep the gov’s seat in Wisconsin…one thing was lost in the coverage…that the dems took control of the Senate there which basically shuts down the right wing, billionaire bought agenda of the Koch brothers….they did save the office for him and the Citizens United decision allowed the right to raise and spend over 60 million dollars to around 4 for the democratic challenger since the repubs rigged the fundraising laws that would make sure any challenger would not be able to compete…just like the repubs are trying to rig elections all over the country. I don’t for one minute believe that the majority on the supreme court didn’t know that this would happen…I think they knew that most of the billionaires are repubs and would advance the repub causes across the country…a frankly cynical ploy that makes all of the conservative justices unfit for office….but, as I have always said…when the repubs can’t win elections fair and square, they will always lie, cheat, and steal to get their way…they are as un-American as you can get…geez…
Have to talk about Wisconsin…
Well…it was a sad day yesterday when the dems couldn’t even beat the idiot Scott Walker and I am starting to get concerned that they are bringing a knife to a gun fight with the amounts of money that the billionaires have spent to get their puppets elected across the country. But, it’s no one’s fault but the dems who have not come up with any new ideas to fight the money or to raise the money to match from the left….the worst thing about the whole deal over there is now the repubs will be crowing about defeating labor and will continue to gut the middle class since they have been so successful at it for the past few years…more and more nonsense that the people just seem to eat up….I can’t figure it out…geez…
Buying an election in Wisconsin…
Well…since it is election day in Wisconsin, I thought I’d write a couple of lines here about it and see if I can be at least a little lucid…it has been a struggle lately to have something to say and I’m not sure why…but, I’ll just keep trying….so, let’s get on to the election…it looks like Scott Walker may win it…no matter that he hasn’t created one job, he has taken away rights from the working class, and he has divided a state that was once united in doing what was right for everyone in the state. I guess when you inject over 35 million dollars of the 1%’s money into an election, you can fool the people into voting for anything…so, it looks like the Koch brothers have bought themselves a state and with it have driven another nail into the coffin of bi-partisanship….it is a sad day….
