Well…if you didn’t really know how much the Kochs hate progress and anyone but the rich, you just have to take a look at the mischief they and their minions are doing in Tennessee. Just today the bought and paid for senators that they own put forth a new bill that would prevent any new mass transit projects from being built…yep, you heard it right…they have just introduced a bill that would not allow any county or municipality to look at their mass transit needs and do something about it…and guess what? Who are the people that use mass transit out in middle of the country? Yep, you guessed it…the middle class and poor….and now the Kochs are buying laws that don’t allow the people to say how their tax dollars are spent…of course, only the Kochs should be able to say how they are spent since they are rich and know better than anyone what the country needs…and, to them, any money spent on anything but tax cuts that benefit them just can’t be allowed to happen…what a bunch of asses…geez…

The supreme court thinks elections should be for sale…
Well….here we go again…the righties on the supreme court have handed the big money in country another win by throwing out the limits on what an individual can give to any campaign…after citizens united, where corporations have been allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on elections but not to individual candidates, now we have the rich able to buy seats without having to go through a corporations….now, the Kochs just have to pick a candidate and buy them the seat…after all, they spent 400 million dollars in the last election…now, they can cut out individual donors all together…and they buy more and more influence while the rest of us will have none…this is probably the worst decision the court has made since Plessy v. Ferguson…these hacks need to be impeached…geez…
Stupidity, they name is repub voters…
Well…have been following the whole ACA signup process that has been going on and it looks like almost 8 million more people will have health insurance that couldn’t get it before, that couldn’t afford it before, and who were told they didn’t need it before….and the really, really stupid thing is that there are new polls out there that asked newly insured repub voters if they still want the law repealed…and a majority of them do. Now I have railed against the fact that repub voters frequently vote against their best interests in electing the party that favors the rich against everyone else, but, this is just fricking ridiculous…these folks now won’t go bankrupt from medical bills, won’t be turned away for pre-existing conditons, and won’t have a cap on what will be paid for their care….all a result of the ACA, and they still want it repealed to be replaced by what? Nothing but high risk pools that cost several times more than coverage under the ACA…or nothing….what a bunch of brainwashed idiots who have been manipulated by their party and Fox news to hate the best thing that has happened to them in a generation…for what? Freedom? Geez….
The real death panels…
Well….after hearing the repubs lie and lie about the supposed “death panels” that they just knew was a part of the ACA, I find it ironic and a little bit sick that the repub governors who have refused the medicaid expansion are actually causing people to die without this needed healthcare. A new study done by Harvard about the effects of these asses and their refusal estimate that from 7-14,000 people will die per year as a direct result of the repub governors trying to score political points…even at the low point, isn’t it just wrong that these guys accept the killing of 7,000 US citizens just so they can go to their extreme right wing donors and get money since these deaths are what people like the Koch’s want? They just don’t give a damn about anyone but the rich and playing the political game…shame on them…what a bunch of immoral asses…geez…
We don’t need no stinkin’ equal wages…
Well….just getting ready to go out and shoot pool but thought I’d get this short one done before since I know I won’t do it when I get back…I am still amazed that any woman still votes for the idiot repubs, with them taking away their right to control their own bodies and now it being revealed they just don’t give a damn about equal wages, either. Just today we had many repubs come out and comment on the various fair pay acts that have been blocked by the repubs both on a federal level, and in many states…saying that they are not necessary and “let the market fix the problem..if there is a problem”…I wonder where the hell these guys have been for the past 50 years? Isn’t that long enough to let the market try to correct the fact that women make 60-70 cents on the dollar compared to men who do the same jobs? This is an issue that needs legislative remedy since the market has proven that it won’t address this problem…and women need to do their part by not voting repub anymore…geez….
Snyder piles on…
Well…after ole Schuette wasted money and time this week appealing the equality ruling and joining the fight against ACA subsidies, we now have ole Snyder piling on the few same sex couples who got married over the weekend by instructing all state agencies to not recognize these legal marriages,…as I’ve said before, the repubs rail and rail and rail about Obama “picking and choosing” which laws to enforce, then do exactly the same thing to discriminate…at least Obama does it to enlarge rights and fight for the middle class…these idiots do nothing but try to keep their enemies down by denying them rights that everyone should have….what a bunch of crap….geez….
Schuette just hates the people of Michigan..
Well…with today’s revelation of our AG’s suit against subsidies for people getting healthcare in the state, we can see that Bill Schuette just hates the people of Michigan…going so far as to take affordable insurance away from residents just to prove that he hates Obamacare and any program that helps people who need it. Where the hell were you before Obamacare passed, Bill? Not a peep out of you for people whose insurance was canceled, not a peep for people with pre-existing conditions that couldn’t get insurance, not a peep for people who couldn’t afford insurance….but, you roar like a lion against the basic help the the ACA provides to people who need it…just like the appeal of the equality ruling, and conspiring with the extremists at Right to Life of Michigan to take away womens access to their healthcare, ole Bill just hates the people of Michigan and solving any of their problems…just make sure they are held down and don’t have the avenue to financial security or equality….this is your repub party, hate, hate, hate…geez….
Now corporations have religion, too?
Well…I am amazed at the new case that comes before the supreme court today where a for profit corporation is suing to not have to have their insurance carrier cover birth control….and, they are suing on religious grounds, as if a corporation goes to church and prays…yeah, not making this one up. You only have to think what the ramification of a win for these asses would mean…then, the corporation would own you even more than they do now and could intrude on you life for religious grounds even if you’re an atheist…don’t go to church? Fired. Married to a black woman? Fired. Muslim? Fired. You can see where I’m going here…if these people prevail, the rights of all Americans will be decimated and the religious asses that try to control their employees lives outside work will have complete control…just what the righties want…geez….
Typical howl from the right…
Well…it has been funny to hear the howl coming from the right here in Michigan…was actually looking out the door to see if I could see or hear any heads exploding…on the ruling on equality that was handed down Friday afternoon in favor of everyone having the same rights. The cries were the same ones that you always hear when the repub sponsored bigotry is found to be unconstitutional…damn activist, liberal judge! But, the only problem with that is that this guy was appointed by Reagan…so that makes him a liberal? I am so tired of the repubs loving government when they can use it to discriminate, but when the result is to increase equality and freedom, they just howl like crazy….and one other funny thing is that in every state where these types of cases have come to the court, every judge has come down on the side of the 14th amendment and equal protection…so now all judges are activist liberals? Get over it haters…get over the fact that this country is changing toward equality and tolerance for all, not just the people you agree with…geez…
Oh, on last thing… Schuette, stop spending my tax money to defend discrimination with the appeal…especially since you have no case…
Equality marches on…
Well…just a short one on the cool developments here in Michigan where a federal judge just struck down the discrimination that was enshrined in the constitution when the marriage inequality act was passed in 2004. I really like what the judge did with the supposed “experts” that the state of Michigan called in to support continuation of inequality, basically calling them lying hacks who had nothing to add to the case….but, the best part is that the judge used the 14th amendment to the constitution and it’s equal protection clause to say that everyone has to be treated equally…you don’t get to discriminate just because you have the votes to do it…I do feel bad that the appeals court has stepped in an stayed the ruling until next week but it won’t last forever and everyone in the state will be equal when it happens…yay…
