Poll shows 7 of the 8 newly elected GOP govs would lose in a "do over" now that the voters see what they bought. Where's the return desk? I just hate this thing, it's more abrasive than I thought it would be!
I honestly thought this would happen. Bob Dylan said, "you gotta serve somebody", and these guys appear to be doing a good job for the top 10% of the nations income earners.
Fringe:
ReplyDeleteThe let the top 10% vote for them. :^)
I wonder how the baggers in the House and Senate fare?

ReplyDeleteWe must elect officials who are willing to stand up against those who are using our atmosphere as a free dumping ground for carbon!
What I wish we had was a list of questions that would be asked of each candidate. Then their actions would be compared to the answers they gave. Anyone caught "flip-flopping" would be removed from office promptly!
Here are two that I would ask -
Do you believe that our climate has changed and will continue to change (not in a favorable way) due to the burning of fossil fuels?
Do you believe that special interest money should be allowed in politics?
Can you think of any that you would add?
They will Whit, thats a sure thing.

ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I suspect a few of them may have that problem, but they are elected in gerrymandered slots and so are in a different dynamic.
Illuminated One;
ReplyDeleteI don't often have that choice, in my red state I am in the 30% who do not support the GOP every time no matter what. I focus out of state and give small amounts to close races where a good candidate might have a chance with a little boost.
Like you questions, I have some too. Considering the GOP continues to reduce foodstamps and infant nutrition programs, meals in schools for those desperately poor.........
I would like to know if they believe it moral for a parent to steal to feed a starving child, and if not what jail term would they suggest, and for repeat offenders?
