Pope Guilty posted:Hitler was staunchly against abortion and contraception. Because Hitler wanted more German boys to grow up into Nazi soldiers. I mean, if they're making the same argument here they should loving own up to it.

That Old Tree posted:Does anyone know why Brownback seems to hate Kansas Neurological Institute specifically? There are rumors going around that some state hospitals might actually see some raises, but absolutely definitely not KNI. Did it just happen to be first on his list of socialist hellholes to close, and since it survived he's sworn vengeance like a good devout Christian would? I talked to a former KU psychiatry prof at a candidate event recently and they said the state mental hospitals are getting a boost so they can be raised to federal standards, with the intent of qualifying for Federal grants that would make it worthwhile. Speculation is proposal from the far right will attempt to privatize state mental hospitals for everything else. I think the grants are for redirecting from prisons; if KNI can't accommodate criminals they will be left in the cold. I tell ya, there is so much crazy happening in KS that there's no way a voter would tolerate keeping their door open long enough for me to tell them about all of it. Two weeks until election, and I've got 4,000 unaffiliated voters left to try and reach.

I've looked on Google but I can't find anything concrete - does anyone have some info on Kansas elections and how they're polling? Are the Repubs going to get smoked for pushing Brownback's tax nightmare hellscape?

They'll find some way to blame the Democrats; Obamacare will probably get the blame for Kansas happening somehow.

Though there are little victories insofar as a lot of Brownback toadies were primaried out months ago. Whether or not the new incoming republicans are even remotely better is yet to be seen. IIRC I think polling was on the side of keeping the ACTIVIST JUDGES because despite the state being blood red, Brownback loving with the public school system so much that the supreme court had to rule it illegal multiple times actually sticks to a lot of the people I talk to. I guess we can feel at least a little bit good that Brownback only has 2 more years and then he's term limited out. I'd loving love to see his stupid rear end try to run for president in 2020 or 2024 and get loving crushed in the primaries.

Moderate R's already drove out a number of the baddies in primary contests, and a decent number of D's look to win their general. Right now the question is will the cons keep a majority and stave off a moderate coalition with D's. State candidate polls are paid for by the campaigns, so not many candidates have polls to look at. State Senate polls cost minimum $5k, which is more than my entire budget.

Does anyone living in Johnson County go to the bi-weekly democrat party get togethers that are held at the Lucky Brewgrille over on Johnson Drive? I wanted to help out with some local elections this cycle but wasn't able to, and I heard about these meetings through the DNC County Chairman.

I always root for the Johnson County Dems, because I feel like, opinions-wise, they have a shot at turning that county blue. It wouldn't sway a whole state, but it would change up voting blocs. I always felt like Johnson County was a place where, if lefties weren't so discouraged, you'd have a closer fight on state and midterm elections. I haven't had much contact with them since moving to Lawrence a decade ago, but when I ran for office in 2004, their ground game was unimpressive. Now- I wasn't a high priority candidate, but just a guy who couldn't let Campbell run unopposed for Olathe's state house rep. But when I met with party people, I noticed nobody but the other candidates were over 30, and our event roster was miniscule compared to the county GOP's. I really, really hope they get their poo poo together, and get whatever support from the national DNC that would take. Democrats need to up that local politics game Douglas County Democrats do alright, but it's not a difficult fight. As rough as that election was, at least Dennis "Boog" Highberger is still my state rep.

Kansas expects budget shortfall around $350 million this fiscal year. Missouri basically just voted to head down this path and the country itself probably isn't too far behind. Gonna be a fun ride!

A document released by the state Department of Labor after Caleb's death showed that all of Schlitterbahn's rides passed private inspections in June. "In our 50 years of providing an environment for families and friends to gather," the statement read, "we've never experienced this kind of devastating event." Maybe not directly you, guy, it just wasn't perhaps in this park and it wasn't a lawmaker's kid.

Her and I are both very passionate about politics and want to help the DNC in Johnson County however we can. I actually am thinking about getting involved in Reno county, it's total hicksville here but apparently the county democratic party was able to finally oust Jan Pauls this cycle. For anyone who doesn't know/remember that's this lovely lady: http://www.hutchnews.com/news/local_state_news/pauls-drops-the-d-and-joins-gop/article_37654038-0d94-5074-aa3c-36cfefdb1177.html She was a democrat who ran on a super anti-gay and anti-abortion rhetoric and held the seat since 1991 and was basically an ancient relic of the old blue dog days. In 2010 she got redistricted to somewhere she didn't actually live, causing her to buy an abandoned church in her new district to 'live in' for her campaign. In 2012 she had a primary challenger from the left by a gay man. Then when she barely won (by 8 votes) she was challenged from the left by the republican contender who was also a gay man who was in the same LGBT coalition as her primary candidate. Again, she barely won and after the victory promptly changed to a republican because it was easier to defend herself from the big mean I kind of wrote the election off as a loss again this year but somehow we pulled it off at least on the county level. Statewide it seems as though a lot of Brownback toadies got ousted too, too bad they still basically outnumber the dems and relatively sane GOPers still.

Brownback is going to veto it and there isn't enough to over ride. What I think is loving bat poo poo is this Johnson County Airport proposal. Where the gently caress is the money going to come from? It makes more sense to build a light rail from OP or Olathe to the airport than a new loving airport does

As much as I deplore modern slavery, no one appears willing to replace the ancient washing machines in Topeka women's prison, which means suddenly a bunch of state institutions that are constantly getting poo poo on and facing cuts need to find ways to install/contract industrial-level wash facilities. I can't wait to be unable to do my job properly because of a loving towel shortage.
