  1. The more that the political Right splinters, the better off the world will be. Think progressive.

    Oh, and I'm sorry, did you say "if" Trump loses? :D

    Just the kind of thing that republicans post. Articles by motherjones on economics.

    No you are not a republican. Not even the kind that belongs to the chamber of commerce type.
    You are nothing but a liberal. Through and through. Quite literally nobody else could possibly post this article but a far leftist liberal.
    Why won't you admit it? That is the question.
    Of all the states in America that are really screwed to the max, like Illinois for instance, Kansas is a state that is a smoldering ruin, destroyed and turned into a third world hellhole.

    You are an imbecile. Sorry to have to say it. But it is obviously true.

    Is the butthurt of Trump's low polling numbers giving you pain?

    Here is today's hint: Real Republicans know how to do math. The crowd of idiots in Kansas do not.

  6. The "small government" that tried to shut down the state Supreme Court...nothing dictatorial there.

    Where's jem and his salad spinner?

  7. STFU. He posted a factual chronology of actual events. Are you afraid that, by confronting the truth, you might burst into flames?

    Real republicans know how to do math? Well that leaves you out, then doesn't it? I mean you have fred Foresite agreeing with you. Now there's an ally that any good republican could want isn't it?

    If you have any real interest in the truth about state finances at all, which I already know you don't, you could simply look at a list of rankings done not two weeks ago on Ranking State Finances by Fiscal Condition here:
    http://mercatus.org/statefiscalrankings

    You would find that Kansas is right in the middle of the rankings for the entire United States. Yet you continue to post article after article by websites like motherjones that claim Kansas is in a state of ruination and is headed toward third world status.

    You are a far leftwing liberal on here posing as a republican. A total joke.

    Kansas Primary Election Sends Brownback Supporters Down In Flames
    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/...ion-Sends-Brownback-Supporters-Down-In-Flames

    In election after election tonight, Brownback supporting conservatives found themselves going down in flames, with incumbents being thrown out of office in races from Johnson County to Reno County, and moderate Republicans — some recently former (D)s — doing the tossing. Whether it was the senate or the house, nothing could stop the voter refusal of the Brownback plan.

    Gone are Greg Smith and Jeff Melcher. Gone is Terry Bruce, Senate leader, who had imagined himself as senate president this term.

    Bye, Bye, Bye. In the end, moderate Republicans did not just drive the bus over the competition; they crushed those on the inside of the Brownback plan.

    The damage didn’t just extend to the Kansas House & Senate, though. Gone is Tim Huelskamp, the US representative from the 1st district.

    The run of Brownback favored allies in the state looks like a firing squad, as Brownback supporters who faced opposition ran into a buzzsaw of those who voiced the ‘Throw the bums out’ complaint. Now, many races for the fall will show a new landscape: Democrats VS moderate Republicans in a chance to reshape the state house with new ideas. This gives a whole new look for both parties in the fall, in many races locking out Koch-supported allied groups like AFP and others, who openly opposed these primary challengers.

    Now, the voters in Kansas will get to choose a direction forward with issues and substance. Conservative Republicans in some districts could be lost to a (D) in the fall. This may be a scary omen of what is happening in their party.

    And now for the latest from Kansas....

    'As the revolt in Brownbackistan gains momentum, rebel forces seize control of the state legislature and vote to accept Obamacare funds to expand Medicaid, and restore the tenure rights to public school teachers that were removed in 2014'

    http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2017/feb/22/house-advances-medicaid-expansion-bill/

    So let's get this straight, the Kansas State House is 85 Republicans and 40 Democrats. The Kansas Senate is 31 Republicans and 9 Democrats. Someone explain to me again why Republicans in the legislature are leading the charge to torch everything Gov. Brownback has done? Oh, it's because Brownback has turned Kansas into a "burning pile of shit". No, that's not me saying it... that's the majority leader.
