But it's got to be enough to turn the governor's mansion and both legislative houses Democratic in any state that does this, and that's a tall order. Or, at least, the fear of that possibility, or of big GOP losses, has to be enough to make a few Republicans wary of going down this road.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-15769673761103780942013-01-24T09:52:57.919-05:002013-01-24T09:52:57.919-05:00Buford,

Any state is within its rights to do what VA did - only they didn't have to stoop as low as VA R's.<br /><br />The Democrats need to try to convince the rural morons in all of the states, that voting for Republicans is voting against their own best interests. <br /><br />And I suspect that even some of the morons know that - but they're too blinded by racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and/or homophobia, to vote for the Democrats, who shun racists, misogyninsts, xenophobes, and/or homophobes.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-5453013724397743722013-01-24T09:16:00.923-05:002013-01-24T09:16:00.923-05:00My question is...how do you stop this?My question is...how do you stop this?Bufordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562503298407472200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-75561410132440382262013-01-24T08:09:22.476-05:002013-01-24T08:09:22.476-05:00After the late Richard Nixon, I think these ratfec...After the late Richard Nixon, I think these ratfecker's next hero, was Al "JUST WIN, BABY!" Davis.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see how things shape up in the sticks when some "Blah" Kenyan Usurper isn't running for election or reelection, but a white Democratic male or female.<br /><br />Also, factor in that by 2016, the ACA will have been around for almost two years. Or, at least in most states. And, hopefully, it will work fairly well, so that Democrats can point to that as a success.<br />I imagine that FUX and Rushba the Nut, will have to go into uber-hyper-overdrive, demonizing the Democratic candidate.<br /><br />The lessons for Democrats from VA are, never take a day off - EVER! -and, if you don't want the ratfeckers feckin' the rat, then either don't leave the rat in a position where it can be fecked by the ratfeckers, or, put a chastity belt on the rat, to keep the rat from being fecked by the ratfeckers who live only to feck rats.<br /><br />And, if any Democrat ever says to him or herself, "I don't think even Republicans would stoop that low" - THINK AGAIN!!! <br /><br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
