Title makes it sound like the beginning of some cheesy zombie movie…..but in this case it is something as cheesy as a bad B-movie…..the 2014 mid-term elections.
This week I will not be posting much…..because of the vote I want to try and get a feel of the country by talking with those that took the election seriously……..
Tomorrow the country will go to the polls and cast their votes for this loser or that and in the end we will have what will be the most worthless Congress ever!
We will have lots to consider….voting rights, birth control, gender problems, spending and of course least we forget a NEW WAR…….
I know many of us are leaning toward the conservative way of governance….you know that tired old talking point of smaller government….to this day not one person has explained what that means beyond the talking point…..if you are considering the conservative alternative then I suggest the you go look at the region of the country that lives and breathes conservatism….the South.
Please check my statements!
You will find a third world country within our borders….with all the problems that plague third world countries…poor health, poor education, extreme poverty, et al……….again please check my assertions……..

Hopefully you will spend a little time and verify what I say…….probably not but I had to try to educate you.
Okay, you are bored…..got it!
Want to find an easier way to check what I claim….then look NO further than KANSAS!
The governor of Kansas, a staunch conservative, Brownback is living proof of what a “smaller government” will look like in the USA…….
Once in office, Brownback surprised critics and supporters alike with the fervor of his pursuit of power, pushing what reporter John Gramlich of Stateline described as perhaps “the boldest agenda of any governor in the nation”: gutting spending on social services and education, privatizing the state’s Medicaid system, undermining the teacher’s union, becoming the only state to entirely abolish funding for the arts, boasting that he would sign any anti-abortion bill that crossed his desk, and – most significantly – pushing through the largest package of tax cuts in Kansas history. His avowed goal is to eliminate the state income tax altogether, a move that many predict will torpedo the budget and engender even more draconian cuts in spending. “Other Republican-led states have experimented with many of the same changes,” Gramlich pointed out – the difference in Kansas being that Brownback “wants to make all of those changes simultaneously.”
And that sports fans is what the country will look like if the conservatives ever take complete control…….Kansas is so bad off that they have resulted in selling of confiscated sex equipment to try and fund their government.
Apparently, no one realizes that if their is reduced revenues for the government then we have a looming problem like the Ebola thing…….why do you think that we seem to be unprepared for this occurrence?
Your vote is just that……. your vote…….. but I beg you to think about what is at stake and educate to the problems and the issues.
The country is watching!
Turn the page!
I ‘liked’ your post, but you know, it’s actually depressing. Maybe the country needs to reach a new low before a strong grassroots movement rises up. There are many smart, committed people and groups fighting for progress – they just need the people (masses of people) to get behind them.
