Well…I am just shaking my head today with the pattern of meanness that is erupting from the repub controlled legislatures across this country…from pinning poor families assistance to how their 8 year old performs in school in Tennessee to the draconian restrictions on womens rights that have happened in Arkansas and other midwestern states, to the new bit of mischief here in Michigan where they have passed a blatantly unconstitutional law that will force those that receive assistance here to pass drug tests and lose their benefits if they fail the tests…no matter that those on assistance actually use drugs less than the general population, these mean bastards are just continuing being the pricks that they are and picking on those that can’t fight back. As I wrote in an earlier post, it is just that these pricks are bullies and love pushing people around…I know they are pushing these new tests saying they will save the state a lot of money…but, before the law in Florida was declared unconstitutional, it was found that no one was failing the tests and it COST the state money to no effect…just because these pricks think poor people should be punished for being poor. I am amazed that they have so much time to pass all of this anti-people, anti-union, and anti-retiree laws but don’t have a bit of time to pass any jobs legislation…oh, other than tax cuts for the rich that they think is the solution to every problem…geez…

Just figured it out…
Well…as I was thinking about the manufactured welfare flap that the repubs are using to falsely attack Obama…I had an epiphany on ole Mitt…It came to me that Mitt doesn’t stand for anything…just winning the election. This whole thing is just a fake argument that Obama wants to end welfare to work system that was implemented under Clinton…he wants nothing of the sort…what has been requested of the feds is that waivers be issued exempting them from federal law on the matter so the governors can more tailor the programs to the facts on the ground in the various states…and this includes two repub governors…I guess these governors have gone from great supporters of states rights to socialists overnight…but you’ll never hear that from the Romney camp…it would interfere with the meme that Obama is a socialist and just wants to hand out checks to people who don’t want to work. The funniest thing in this whole idiotic attack by the repubs is that, while ole Mitt was governor, he asked for the same waiver that he now thinks is the last straw to the damning road of socialism….this man has no beliefs or core….and would have been laughed out of politics when I was younger…just shows you how far the repubs have fallen…geez…
