South Dakota Republicans attempting to legalize the killing of abortion doctors.

see the nice thing about this is it makes it perfectly legal to murder absolutely anyone in the state of SD so that no sperm or eggs will be wasted or destroyed

This is too dismal to even bother posting the appropriate Monty Python song.

So as everyone knows, Wisconsin went from a blue state to a red state. Already in the one month Scott Walker has been in office, he has called for huge cuts to state workers, limiting court awards in injury cases, and throwing away every kind of stimulus the federal government tries to give us. On top of that he is calling for the elimination of collective bargaining rights for public workers.

Shit sucks yo.

Apparently, he's doing so in the name of a make-believe budget crisis. And also his plans are going to cost the state a ton of money in revenue without saving any at all.

Here's a source confirming Walker's bizarro math.

Democrats are in hiding to delay the vote.

From what I understand, the budget shortfall was caused by a ton of tax credits he gave out to companies. When confronted about this, republicans just say "But he didn't spend any money!" and shrug their shoulders. And then they go on to talk about how teachers are leaching off of the state.

Look at it that this way: Last time it took over 15 years before voters realized that Republicans were good for shit and that their economic policies were disastrous.  Now people seem to be learning that lesson in less than a month.

Quote from: CNN
When asked who else she might envision at the top of the GOP ticket Palin responded, "No one is more qualified to multi-tasking and doing all the things you need to do as a President than a woman."

As far as I can tell, anyone who didn't already know that the state was screwed after the results of the election last November think that this is the best thing that has happened to Wisconsin in years. There are a lot of dumb people here.

And the people are fired up there, as well

Hoping that might state will take up the cause soon.

Congresswoman, and also, reading the article, that doesn't seem like what happened at all, at least according to the guy. Given his odd behavior at the time though, I'm sort of inclined to believe his later explanation.

So when I walked in from work yesterday the mother in law was watching a Tivo'd Fox and Friends from that morning, in which they implied this was Obama's fault for threatening to veto earmarks.

Provided that Fox can't spin this to be the Democrat's fault, which I'm sure they will, this could be a very good thing in the long run, given that it's going to wake Americans up as to what the fuck the Tea Party is all about in the first place. Where did they think the spending cuts were going to come from? Military spending and social security are 70% of our budget, and nobody plans to cut either. Maybe if we get enough grim wakeup calls like this Americans wil realize that getting the deficit under control isn't something we can do without raising taxes.

I get the feeling at this point like Democrats are trying to distance themselves from the inference that incendiary rhetoric has turned Republicans into a bunch of sociopaths, and that's why we say things like 'I don't really believe that the fireman refused to respond because she was a Democrat'.

I think siding with the room full of firefighters and his supervisor who all say that's why he didn't respond is probably a safe bet, considering they were probably all republicans too, so it's not like they're just accusing him because they're bleeding hearts or something.

This idiot deserves to be fired. Even - no, especially - if he's telling the truth. 'I was too emotionally invested' should not come into play unless you're responding to a friend or family member. I'm sure they'd all be emotionally invested if an orphanage was burning down, that wouldn't give them an excuse to not respond to the fire. You don't get to be a public servant if you're going to refuse to serve every time you don't feel comfortable with who you are serving.

I never said he shouldn't be fired, I just don't necessarily disbelieve his explanation. He should absolutely be fired if he can't handle an emergency situation due to a personal investment, other than his own family or similar.

They set the start time for 5pm, then tried to start early and vote it all through as quickly as possible before the Democrats arrived. While they were at it, they did not consider the amendments proposed by the Dems. Then when the Dems showed up, they were like "oh, whoops".

Please note that this Walker was talking to major news outlets exactly when this happened, so none of those cameras were in this room.

Whoops I didn't post the full link last night, I fixed it now.

The worst part about this is that the media is not picking that video up. CNN mentioned it in passing, but didn't even talk about how it was an ILLEGAL VOTE.

If it was actually illegal then the Dems shouldn't have tried to interfere.

They literally did this in new york state last year, and the words they used were 'coup d'etat'.

They convinced a democrat to switch sides so they had a majority, and then showed up to the NY capitol building before the dems could and locked them out so they could legislate uninterrupted.
