My man, Nate Silver, is going to make a lot of the Dems nervous……I hate to admit it but he is pretty damn accurate in his predictions…..it is time for EVERY Dem to see this and read this and then vote.
If you want to prove Silver wrong then there is only one way to accomplish that…….STOP whining and VOTE Democrat!
I have been writing about the plight of American veterans for many years….I started because I was one of those returning vets that the country ignored because we were an inconvenient truth……
So far this country has done LITTLE for the people they asked to sacrifice for their country…..the US owes a debt that it needs to pay………. even if it must be done by FORCE!
For 40 years suicide has been a major problem for vets and now it is hitting in an older sector of the vets…..

Americans need to pull their heads out of the celebs asses and do the RIGHT thing! Vets should NOT have to depend on charity for their needs. Americans response so far to the needs of the veterans is disgusting and pathetic.
First let me answer the question……unequivocally………..YES!
The South is a hot bed of conservative politics….well that is not accurate…..it is hot bed of Tea Party politics……and for decades I have wondered just what they were doing…they seem to vote to screw themselves and then continue to screw themselves…..I have asked where is the rationale?
I read this piece and thought that it would explain it situation a bit………
Is the South Dragging the Rest of the Nation Down? | Alternet.
My lovely state spends way too much time debate and enacting laws that are just flat out STUPID! The state’s economy is in the crapper…..education is in the crapper…..health care is in the crapper…..and what do they do?
From site Mississippi PEP…………
New regulations passed by the state’s Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks removed an earlier exemption allowing feeders to be placed on or near residential homes. Under the new rules, all feeders would have to be located more than 100 yards from any property line or building.
Unless you’ve got a really, really, really big backyard, it’s tough to meet that requirement.
The state commission now says the regulations were not intended to ban backyard birdfeeders. They plan to review and correct the language at some point.
Until then, Mississippians should beware of overzealous park rangers and wildlife officers who could seize upon the opportunity to hand out citations for feeding mockingbirds — the state bird — in their backyards.
Only in Mississippi would it be a ‘crime’ to feed birds in your own backyard. They are ‘freeloaders’ and we know what Southerns think of freeloaders, huh?
And too many think I am unfair in my attacks against the state of Mississippi. Take my word for it….it is a cultural wasteland…….and now they have moved beyond attacking the citizens to kove on to attacking birds……a lovely place to stay as far away from as you can get.
Ah…Trent Lott…..a famous Mississippian….he is from my neck of the woods, South Mississippi……….he was a representative then a senator then the Senate majority leader and then his name became MUDD.
He became the talk of the town when he was speaking at the birthday party of the Congress long time racist from South Carolina….the old fart of the South…..Strom Thurmond…….his comments were racist and he was basically forced to resign …..and in 2007 he took it on the lame and resigned from Congress to become a lobbyist, just ahead of the requirement that they wait before they may become a lobbyist…….and this is where the story takes a curious turn……..
Russian bank targeted with sanctions by President Obama over the Ukraine crisis, has hired two former U.S. senators to lobby against those sanctions, according to a new disclosure filed with the Senate.
Gazprombank is controlled by Russia’s state-owned energy company Gazprom, the country’s largest gas producer; it supplies about a third of Europe’s natural gas.
In a filing submitted Friday and effective that day, former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and former Senator John Breaux, D-La., are listed as the main lobbyists under the Gazprombank account for the firm Squire Patton Boggs, lobbying on “banking laws and regulations including applicable sanctions.”
So the famous (?) Mississippian for his war hawk stances against the old USSR has changed now that he can make a few bucks helping them beat the sanctions imposed by the US because of their aggression in Ukraine.
His concern when a politician was that of average Americans making their way…….I said then he was a self-centered prick that his only concern was the power and the cash he could make……good to see that I was right then and I am right now……Lott is still the same person he always was….a self-centered prick.
I was sent this ‘toon on Twitter the other day……I like the way that it links random statements together to make a premise………a tried and true GOP tactic….
I live in the Deep South….so today I would like to post on the region and give those that do not know much about it a little education……
For decades the people of Mississippi, my state, as well as most of the South, been voting conservative…..and for decades those votes have kept the people from having a descent life and services……the sad part is…the voter still does not equate a sucky life with their vote……..
