Lol, you asshats have had 50+ years in the inner cities, and yet you keep plugging away at the "more taxes, more regulations, fuck the rich" mantra that has done SOOOO well for said cities.

wow, you buy into anything some unknown person says

and notice, it's an "experiment" so what is liberalism? is it a mental disorder like some say it is?

Democrats and Republicans want the same things: America Destroyed.

Stop fighting with each other and start fighting against THEM!

This isn't Major League Baseball where you can mindlessly "cheer" for "your team".

Lets see, how many years and how much billions of dollars has been put into "edemacating" the childreeeeeeeeeeeeen?

and what do we have show for it? take Ferguson Missouri as an example

I do swear liberalism really is a mental disorder

Brownback is behind by an aggregate of about 7 points, and that margin has barely budged.

In terms of voter registration in the great state of Kansas, it is not a Republican-majority state, but a Republican plurality state. Right now, the Rs have a +19.78% VR advantage over the D's - this is a larger advantage than in both 2010 and in 2012:

STATE	DEM	GOP	IND	NO AFF	Total	DEM %	GOP %	IND %	NO AFF %	Margin	Mar %
KS 07/2014	422181	765398	12656	535160	1735395	24,33%	44,11%	0,73%	30,84%	343217	19,78%
KS 07/2010	460318	744975	11110	490395	1706798	26,97%	43,65%	0,65%	28,73%	284657	16,68%
Diff:	-38137	20423	1546	44765	28597	-2,64%	0,46%	0,08%	2,11%	-58560	3,10%
KS 07/2014	422181	765398	12656	535160	1735395	24,33%	44,11%	0,73%	30,84%	343217	19,78%

Continuation of the posting above:

So, assuming, as if almost always that case, that an incumbent gets about 90% of his party's base vote, and assuming that voters come out in proportions similar to the VR spread (this is not guaranteed, but let's use it as a potential model): Brownback GOP vote: 44,11 * .90 = 39.7 Brownback DEM vote: 24.33 + .10= 2.4 ------ 42.1% So, assuming that Brownback loses by 8, 52-44, then the remaining 1.9% that would makeup his 44% of the total vote would be from the unaffiliated vote: 1.4 / 30.84 = 4.5%, which would mean that the unaffiliateds would be breaking about 95% for the Democrat. So, either Brownback is losing a LOT of Republican votes, or he is getting clobbered in the unaffiliated vote in ways we have never seen before in Kansas. And with the SK senatorial down to incumbent Roberts (R) and Mark Ormand (I), there could be lots of Is who input a vote for a candidate who is not an "R". Either way, it looks bad for both Brownback and for Roberts in a bedrock Conservative state. Both men are wildly unpopular. But I'm not so sure how much this has to do with the national GOP, for all politics is pretty local at the end of the day.

A win/win situation...run Texas like Kansas (and North Carolina) and let them secede too.

Interesting comparison. So you're saying that the best example of conservative economic policy being able to be implemented on a statewide basis has resulted in conditions that compare favorably to Detroit, Michigan?

lol

New York gets 39% of its electricity from natural gas. Kansas gets 5.7% of its electricity from natural gas.

Kansas gets 61% of its electricity from coal.

Jobs, manufacturing, economic development, tax revenues... New York is screwing itself out of much more than energy production. But, bless that Yoko Ono! Gotta follow her lead.

"What happened to Kansas" is a pretty good read for understanding how the republicans have gained power. Get it for eight or nine bucks on amazon. The big players are the koch oil thieves of course. Now for the onslaught from the defenders of these rabid, thieving trillionaire dirtbag brothers.... Benghazi, George Soros, Bill Ayersssss!!!!
