Feeling bad for Steele is like feeling bad for Boehnor because he has to deal with the Tea Party. Don't. Strip out all the horrible social conservative stuff and they are still trying to regress the country to a pre-FDR standard for labor where children have to work in schools if they can't afford meals and you can fire a woman for being pregnant since that affects your bottom line.

Jeb! is what rear end in a top hat Boomers and Gen-Xers think Millennials are like with their supposed "everybody gets a trophy" and "I expect to get what I think I deserve right now" attitudes.

He seems like a guy that has coasted through life to great success but thought he did it through his own ability. Now he is finally in a situation where he can't just show up and get a reward and it really hasn't clicked for him yet.

Those planned hunts say really all you need to know about someone's character or lack thereof. If gun culture wasn't such a thing, I assume it would be more efficient and satisfying for these types to just reach into the box and snap the animal's neck with their bare hands then throw away the carcass.

I don't really follow midwest politics since Walker depressed the hell out of me but other than Minnesota is that entire region just trying to become a gutted out wasteland or are there any places not trying to conservative themselves to death?

Has a recall ever benefited a Democrat? It seems they inherently are biased towards Republicans since it's an even weirder time to have an election. The ones off the top of my head are California, Colorado with the gun nuts, and Walker successful beating one.

Is this the DNC's fault or is it just more of the midwest deciding they didn't conservative hard enough and they REALLY have to cut everything to gain the Confidence Fairy's blessing.

The funny part is that governors have literally no control over who can come into their states.

I'm curious what the response will be from the voters that support refusing refugees will be if they continue to come into those states. Will they blame Obama for being a tyrant or their own Governors for being weak RINOs?

I dunno. Our President had choice words to say about people being lovely to the refugees and a lot of Governors are committed to still taking them in. I don't think it's something the country as a whole has failed but the "I'm so scared I need my precious AR to protect me from hordes of The Others :ohdear:" people certainly did. Apparently even the Evangelical Christians are unhappy with the tone of gently caress Refuges.

I really can't wait (actually I can) to hear how Roberts justifies all the clinics closing by saying how since the law didn't technically say it was to close all the abortion clinics it's totally not a way around Roe vs Wade. Scalia will just gloat like the poo poo he is then bitch about activist judges because of something he's the minority on the same day.
