Crows Turn Off posted:My problem with letting Kansas serve as a warning is that they don't actually seem to be learning anything from it. Despite the objective failures in Kansas, other states are still incorporating similar fiscal policies, and talking about how good these policies are. Yeah the goal should be winning it back, and then once it has been won back, punishing the places that voted over 80% for brownback by cutting funds as much as possible, while rewarding the rest of the state. Thats a good revenge.

Arglebargle III posted:I think it's good for Kansans to die; but I don't think they should suffer. Should I support the current Kansan regime or should I support regime change? Die in the sense of choked off of funds, put as little economic development in them as possible, keep the highways good, but let the county roads be dirt, cut farm insurance.

Adventure Pigeon posted:The best solution at this point is to quietly cut off all roads leading out of Kansas and to loop them around into roads leading back into Kansas. After that, they can just announce all airports have been closed to save precious tax dollars. Once that's done, all that's left is to watch. Who do we repopulate it with?

I think my favorite is the guy accusing liberals of deliberately sabotaging their economy. I swear some of them sound like they could be mouthpieces for Maduro's government in Venezuela.

Seriously there are times when I really wouldn't mind if the communists they claim are really at the end of day taking over did, just so they would be put into a camp and be able to pay for being such worthless creatures.

Hey Neolib, the polls have him within a percentage point. Look I know you'd like to never ever have to hear from flyover gomers again> But guess what? plenty of them want something beyond getting raped by the GOP. Now I know that also means they want less gun control and more workers protections which you cannot stand. But then the party doesn't need you.

rscott posted:There is no enthusiasm from any of my conservative co-workers about this election, the only people I hear talking about it intended to vote for Thompson. Anecdotal for sure and who knows what the sticks are like but first signs are encouraging No, you see I am a very serious person who lives on the coast and knows that all people in Kansas are toothless gomer neanderthals who would never have the inclination to vote for anyone that wasn't screaming about killing gays and immigrants.

awesmoe posted:in their defense, his thompson's twitter bio doesn't mention he's a democrat and he's working much harder to tie his opponent to brownback than to trump. e:or so i read THere is no defense. This is a fuckup of the National party. Time to purge the so called wonks like Pardicas, make it feel like 1937.

mcmagic posted:Maybe this race will help; with fundraising for just that. Yeah, maybe instead the people responsible for this should resign. Especially when their promise for becoming the head of the DNC was that they "Could get things done". ALso they promised a 50 state strategy.
