Are you all as stunned as I am about how the States are falling?

[Cirque du So-What]

21. How long can it continue?

Try January 2015, when these teabag fucks are replaced by Democrats. Funny how all these states followed the same pattern, isn't it? First, they started off attacking the unions of the state workers, followed by everyone else's unions, but only recently have they all turned toward restricting women's reproductive rights. It's as though whoever devised this coordinated attack realized that if all these freshly repugnicized states began their agendas by assaulting women's reproductive issues, there would be such a backlash that the rest of the agenda may run into too much resistance. By beginning the attack on the periphery - against workers who represent a small percentage of the population in any of those states - it didn't set off alarm bells right away (with the notable exception of Wisconsin, where a recall effort against Scott Walker began in earnest).

Perhaps the conservatives really don't care if they retain power in state legislatures after 2014; they've managed to accomplish just about everything their corporate puppetmasters wanted anyway.
