7. I already voted against 2 Libertarian initiatives on my state ballot - cleverly worded to obscure

Wed Oct 22, 2014, 08:05 PM

Oct 2014

their NRA talking points and school privatization plans at the cost to the poor, elderly and disabled!

It's sadly proven effective in an area that has lost its liberal media presence, replaced with TeaParty, Libertariana and CT talking points.

We have a state legislature on the edge of giving the same groups running under the GOP, the voting majority. They made the state run with no budget part of last year because they wanted to renege on the liberal budget deal.

Our slim hold is in danger because the Democrats are no longer good enough for those groups who target only Democrats, not the GOP. Thus ALEC wins!

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right and here I am stuck in the middle with you. I'm ticked off, but glad you got my back.
