Imagine a world without red states. Without the southern states, the rest of us would enjoy:

126. I would like to think that

but I live in Kansas where the governor represents our best citizens, the Koch brothers.

No money or help from the national democratic party. We are outnumbered now when before we actually could compete. So far there is nobody serious even to run against this clown Brownback. Our best bet would be to register R and primary the sucker out. I don't see any way out of this for a very long time. Americans for Prosperity and ALEC make our laws, same for other states and they are passed without a squeak. The only quibbling is how far they can go. Simply put, the Kochs house their businesses here and that is all that matters. There IS no one else to consider.

So I am sensitive about this. We were abandoned, not the only state either. Dean tried and it helped but then we were dropped again and we are entrenched now. We have 33 Dems in the house against 92 Reps and in the Senate we have 8 Dems and 32 Reps. Many of those people are teabaggers and supported by the Koch brothers as is our governor who surrounds himself with ex AFP people.

This is why it is now so difficult here and when I see this divisive crap posted I get so angry. I know a lot of the Dems here and not a one of them would fit the definition of what the Reps call Dems. It all comes from the nose in the air attitude from outside our state like this stupid post and this just makes things 10 times more difficult.

Anyway, not really angry more like frustrated beyond what I ever imagined I would ever have to be. To have to fight through crap thrown out in front of you by your own before you can even get to the other side is simply insane.
