as so many pundits labelled this theory as voodoo economics. How the Kansas electorate would give him 2 terms to run their state onto a reef blows my mind.

You should see Huelskamps new commercial. It has some overweight farmer in a big hat talking about outsiders interfering . I mean you just want to puke!! He is having a fierce battle with some OB running against him.

The voting machines are tilted for Repubs all across the country and they were tilted even further in KS in the most recent election because of the pre-election polling and how well those opposing the air-heads were doing.

And by the way, if this fact is not publicized (that the voting machines are tilted everywhere in favor of the Repubs) and that meme kept in circulation, the far-right owners of the companies will feel they have nothing to fear no matter how far they bend the statistics beyond the incredible to the statistically impossible.

Kobach is a dishonest political thug who brazenly claims rampant electoral fraud, but the primary ones perpetrating electoral fraud are Brownback, Kobach and the rest of the insane tea party GOP politician's currently holding office. Same as it will be in Wisconsin..

My husband retired from a company that sells new and used oil. The used oil goes toward road construction. They have sold none this year. This hurts small business.

would have made this a reality for America, doubling down on Bush's failed...EVERYTHING! Was going to say economic policies.

That's the sad part about diehard republicans. When their policies fail, even after past failures have shown, they insist that if given more time, their policies will turn the economy around.

Which is why when any of my Rep buddy's talks about how Reps can or could fix things I always genuinely laugh at him. But it's truly sad that they don't or cannot learn from their failed ways.
