Subscribe to RSSThe outcomes Tuesday in balloting from Maine to Mississippi included enough wins for Democrats, abortion rights advocates, and labor unions to give a bit of a lift to President Obama and his allies as they look toward the 2012 elections, 12 months from tonight.
In Ohio, voters overwhelmingly rejected the law enacted last spring by Gov. John Kasich and the Republican-controlled legislature that limited the ability of public employee unions to collectively bargain.
The law also would have required performance-based pay for most public employees and required them to pay 15 percent of the cost of their health care benefits.
Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz cheered the outcome in Ohio calling the law “a blatantly partisan attempt to lay the blame for our economy on middle-class Americans, while letting the wealthiest and special interests off the hook and not asking them to pay their fair share. Voters in Ohio know that targeting public employees for political reasons will do nothing to create jobs or boost Ohio’s economy.”
Yet at the same time that Ohio voters were boosting labor unions, they also delivered at least a symbolic rebuff to Obama’s health care reform law by overwhelmingly approving a ballot measure saying that no federal, state, or local law or rule could compel any person or employer to participate in a health care system. The practical effect of that Ohio measure hinges on the outcome of legal challenges in federal courts to Obama’s health care law.
In Mississippi, abortion rights advocates scored a somewhat surprising victory as voters defeated Initiative 26, a proposed amendment to the state’s constitution that would have defined the word “person” to include every human being “from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof.”
More than 55 percent of voters were voted “no” on the ballot measure, The Associated Press reported, falling far short of the threshold needed for it to be enacted.
A statement from Planned Parenthood cheered the victory, saying “Mississippi voters rejected the so-called ‘personhood’ amendment because they understood it is government gone too far, and would have allowed government to have control over personal decisions that should be left up to a woman, her family, her doctor and her faith….”
Both the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor had backed the measure.
Proponents of Initiative 26 said its passage would be a historic triumph for anti-abortion forces, but Republican Gov. Haley Barbour indicated he had misgivings about its effect on in vitro fertilization and ectopic pregnancies, even as he said he had voted for it.
Veteran conservative lawyer and anti-abortion activist James Bopp had criticized the ballot measure, saying it might open the way to a new Supreme Court ruling strengthening abortion rights.
Meanwhile, Mississippi voters also gave overwhelming approval to a ballot initiative that will create a photo identification requirement for voters. According to the National Council of State Legislatures, Mississippi will now be the 31st state with a voter ID requirement and the eighth with a strict photo ID requirement.
In Arizona, Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, architect of the tough immigration law cracking down on illegal immigrantst that thrust the issue into the national political debate, was ousted from office in a recall election. The moderate Republican who defeated him had made immigration a constant theme, saying Pearce's hard-line policies harmed Arizona's image.
In another victory for Democrats, Maine voters were headed toward a rejection of an attempt by the Republican-controlled state legislature to put an end to Election Day voter registration in the state.
Maine has had Election Day voter registration since 1973.
In two governors’ races, the parties each picked up a win:
In Kentucky, Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear, as expected, won a second term, defeating Republican state Senate President David Williams.
In Mississippi, also very much as expected, Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant defeated underfunded Democrat Johnny DuPree, the mayor of Hattiesburg and the state’s first African-American gubernatorial nominee.
Barbour could not run due to Mississippi’s term limit.
With Bryant’s victory, Republicans have now won five of the last six gubernatorial elections in Mississippi. No Democrat has carried the Magnolia State in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
In Virginia Republicans appeared headed toward a major victory -- gaining control of the state Senate. As Election Day started, the Democrats controlled the 40-member Senate with 22 members.
Democrat Roscoe Reynolds lost his bid for a fourth term to freshman GOP Sen. Bill Stanley in the state Senate's marquee race, bringing the GOP to within one seat of a 20-20 split.
In the deciding race, Democratic Sen. Edd Houck trailed Republican Bryce Reeves by 86 votes out of nearly 45,000 cast with all precincts reporting in a race too close to call, according to The Associated Press. The narrow margin is likely subject to a recount.
An evenly divided Senate gives Republicans an upper hand, since Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling would have the power to break a 20-20 tie, but will likely yield equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans on Senate committees, the AP reported.
Political strategists were carefully watching the Virginia elections to see glimmers of insight into how Obama and Democratic Senate candidate Tim Kaine might fare in 2012.

Going to laugh at those retards when their taxes are raised to support pay for the new public employee contracts. What a bunch of clueless twits.
I saw Obumbles on FOX this morning and they were laughing because he was signing another useless executive order and made it look like a big bill signing. You know, Blow Biden and the usual nincompoops and signing with the pens and all that crap. They said he did it because he HAS NOT SIGNED ANY BILLS IN A LONG TIME. His advisors said it will make him look much more presidential, leading up to his defeat in the next election. Another laugh was because the executive order was to cut waste in gooberment, he has already done this many times since he became our worst ever president. Obumbles and the mafia union slugs do not want what is best for the country, only themselves...
He was singing executive orders because those lame brain Republicans in the House are acting like spoiled children........do nothing congress.
Well alghourd, I didn't see Obama's signing of the recent bill's the same way you did. But hey, I mean....who could possibly argue, after all, Faux News said it so it must be the honest to god's truth. Nothing but. lol
I'm curious. When faux says 'fair and balance', are they refering to fair and balanced FACTS, or fair and balanced OPINION? Looking at what you presented, I'd have to assume it is their opinion (and only their's) that is being reported as fair and balanced.
lest we forget all about those do-nothings in the reid led senate.
Gov. John Kasich turned down a run for the Presidency this year to be Governor of his beloved state of Ohio. He thought he could really make a difference in stopping Ohio's decline. What a waste of the efforts of a great man who could have become President in 2012. The people of Ohio formed a circular firing squad so to speak and undid what he had done for them. They have absolutely no understanding of business or how business works. They are the Mid-West equivalent of California except they have a great Governor who is flabbergasted at this point. He realizes now that he missed the opportunity to make such a large difference on the national scene attempting to save Ohio from itself. What a waste of human talent and shame on you Ohio! Great man and a sad electorate- From this vote forward Ohio will see higher taxes; less services; companies leaving for progressive states; and the youth of Ohio will also leave as there will be no jobs. Same as the once great state of California and now Ohio. Cleveland will soon look like Detroit.
Cleveland doesn't have far to go.....Ohio is 49th with only Detroit and Michigan lower on the food chain in state rankings for business climate, jobs, wages
Yeah, giving union workers teh ability to negotiate collectively is the problem with the state.It has nothing to do with Republican "fair-trade" policies that sent all the manufacturing jobs overseas to China and India right? It was the state unions.
You realize that even with a max pension and high wages, Ohio's state budget's largest expense is unemployment and welfare services because if all the out of work factory workers right? And just like the Republican congress, Ohio Republicans have wasted all their time attacking unions and not making one single job.
Wake up. A working person is a tax-paying person. A tax payer puts money in the State coffers. As long as Republicans use this recession to follow their agenda instead of make any jobs, we will never see the state or country recover. Tax payers are "makers". Not managers and owners. Anyone can own a company or spend money. It takes a real american worker to make something.
last one to leave ohio, please turn out the lights, wouldn't won't an angry energy czar.....good luck with your new bosses, unions.
How can you say this is a BIG win. I pay a persentage of my medical benefits and my retirement, what makes the government worker so special that they think it not fair to ask them to pay a percentage of thiers. The whole, vote NO on issue 2, campaign was a lie. It wasent about saving Ohio jobs, or removing your ability to collectively bargin. your just afraid to abide by any rule that is'nt totally in your favor, you bunch of little crybabys, you want what you want when you want it or you'll deny the public the benefit of your service. Way to go, you act like a bunch of spoiled little brats!!!!!!!!! Pony up the cash to pay for your benefits, I'm tired of supporting you!
The "down-trodden" middle class in Ohio just gave themselves a tax increase and the unions bosses a PAY increase!!
I'm laughing.......I'm laughing some more.....
As a right to work state, we will benefit from businesses relocating from Ohio. I do lament the downfall of once mighty states like CA, Michigan, and now Ohio. Seems like once the government unions get their foot in the door you can't get them to go home.
hot,
Maybe you missed it but Ohio doesn't have any businesses to send your way. That's sort of why we're in the dilemma we're in right now.
Wait till WI Gov. Walker is recalled! He lied during his campaign, back-doored legislation, corrupt hiring of his donors and list keeps going on and on. Our public employees agreed to pay more for their benefits and he still took away bargin rights. Now he will pay. The state repugs will go right with him for their corruption in our state gov.
lets see...greece...italy...spain...ohio...what do they have in common...hmmm....soon riots ...flash-mobs...
and unemployment....wow people really have no clue...wow...just wow
If you wonder why Mississippi is the POOREST state in the union, LEAST EDUCATED state in the union, WORST QUALITY OF LIFE in the union, and has some of the LOWEST WAGES, look no further than their devotion to the big RED elephant in the room. "With Bryant’s victory, Republicans have now won five of the last six gubernatorial elections in Mississippi. No Democrat has carried the Magnolia State in a presidential election since Jimmy Carter in 1976."
The fact that they lack education to understand how the economy grows is largely to blame. The worst thing for the GOP is an educated society.
I disagree with your statement. Mississippi is poor because the state has no large companies, agriculture or resources (coal, oil, and gas) that could garner the tax revenue base like for example MN. I think you are not very educated by making these statements. Your comments are driven by a narrow minded look at party affiliation.
Keep voting Republican Mississippi.
Look at what it's gotten you.
I have an honest look at party affiliation. I look at data and ignore the comments that are NEVER supported with data. I've spent days and months analyzing the state statistics based on their leading party. And why do they have none of those companies/industries? If republicans are so great for the economy and business, why aren't companies setting up shop in Mississippi? A lot of states don't have many natural resources, including my state of MN. But because we are a blue state, with highly educated people and a high quality of life, companies set up shop here (even though our taxes are one of the highest in the union) to take advantage of that quality of life and get access to those educated workers.
Also, HeReigns, what about Texas? They have a lot of oil, but Texas still has a low quality of life. They have the LOWEST wages in the union and the HIGHEST number of uninsured. And despite grabbing jobs from neighboring states, they have one of the highest number of unemployed workers. Texas also has more people on government assistance and requires more federal funds than any other state. It's true for almost every red state in the nation. You can pretty much split the country by red and blue and most all the blue states have better stats than almost all the red states, with few exceptions.
Not to poke a stick at you, but you should look at the last census info for your answers. Miss. has the lowest levels of High School grads and Bachelors in the South. Coupled with low diversity and high crime rates related to per capita drug/alcohol abuse, its not a welcome environment to businesses in a tough economy. The simple reason that GOP candidates get voted for there is that white people go to the poles and vote and historically black turn out to mid-term election cycles is poor. Its not ideology, its simply interest in the government.
The persons who consider that the constitution came down from the rockies, carved on a stone tablet might be suprised to know that even the framers of it knew that there would be amendments to it,or would you feel better standing,hat in hand, whilst they threw the horses reigns to you, saying 'hey you ,hold my horse until I come back and I will give you a dime'. As for the rights of women to not bare children, the planet is already over crowded and unable to feed all of it's population.Governments should be thinking of ways to decrease the population by peaceful means, not by butchery.
You do understand that decision not to have children is pretty much the province of the educated and career minded and career successful women-a product of society that values materials possessions as a sign of success quite highly....so while culturally, professional, educated women are post poning and even declining being parents at all, on the flip side in less prosperous cultures, women are still popping babies out at a pretty high rate....The impact of which has been felt in countries like Germany, and the Netherlands....the immigrant population is literally outpopulating those whose origins are of that country and forcing complete social changes into the society that were previously unheard of....example: the issue has been brought up because of the number of young muslim boys and adolescents that female instructors be forced to wear the burkha, even though they are not themselves muslim......the Brisith Flag, the Union Jack, does not fly above Buckingham Palace, because it might offend those of Indian and Pakistani heritage who are now naturalized English citizens with full rights, priveleges, and benefits, but who are still grinding an axe over English Imperialism of 100 years ago...
Considering that before this election, and the "restoration of the unions"...Ohio had climbed all the way to 49th out of 50 among states encouraging new business, attracting new business, expanding existing business (translate that as more jobs and more income for everyone), and the only state worse off was Michigan, which has been considered a financial disaster and joke for well over a quarter century now.....I guess that they have alot to look forward to-like making Michigan look good. And I guess that us poor slobs in Illinois can feel pretty secure in our 48th spot for the moment.
For the historically challenged, the top ten WORST Presidents:
1) James Buchanan (D)
2) Warren Harding (R)
3) Andrew Johnson (D)/National Union Party
4) Franklin Pierce (D)
5) Millard Fillmore (Whig)/American party
6) John Tyler (I)
7) Ulysses S. Grant (R)
8) William Harrison (Whig)
9) Richard Nixon (R)
10) George W. Bush (R)
You s**tkickers must have brains in your d***s if you think Obama is going to lose to the gang that can't shoot straight
Who voted for these... you? Left Carter off the list (conveniently)-- Obama may not lose, but only because no one else looks good either. He should be on your list if you compare promises with reality... but reality is the real victim it seems
I guess you can ask people, but most of what you'd get would be either partisan or based on very little real knowledge of their accomplishments. This is based on the research of historians. FYI Carter is 25th, Bush is 36th. The only highly rated republican in recent years is Eisenhower.
this looks like a list made by Al Franken...
What a @!$%#ing joke, you forgot your precious BOY IN CHIEF Obama to top that list, what a joke, I am laughing so hard...Liberal Pansy....GO NRA...LIVE FREE OR DIE....SAVE THE WHALES....NO NUKES....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha ha
Hey UNFORGIVEN I bet you spend your nights naked in front of the computer, eating cheetos and ordering Dominos pizza, never tipping the delivery guy, wacking off to pictures of Jessice Alba, while you dream of the day you may get laid, because your probably a 35 year old mail room clerk that has never been on a date, and I bet you cant wait to get home to restart your game of World Of Warcraft and wow all your online friends....what a loser, maybe some day ill let you know what its like to feel real breasts, not the blow up doll that you shot your load in last n ight, whats her name? Oh and pretty soon your parents are gonna start charging you rent, because they see you spend all your cash ($8.50 an hour) on Star Wars figurines, but I guess its hard to get a girl when you weigh 350 pounds and cant workout because of a "Back Problem"...LOSER...hey go and occupy the refirgerator and heat up some of those Pizza Rolls calling your name right now!!! LMAO!!!!!
Billy, thanks for the laugh today. Needed that one.
Perhaps Governor Kasich will tone down the rhetoric and try talking with people. The man's head simply got to big to wear the hat of a leader.
Lauren MN you are so right
Mississippi bears the burden on being a large cotton producing state which required massive hand labor forces. Initially black slaves were purchased from New England slavers in New Orleans to work the field. After the War of Northern Aggression, the slaves were freed and became tenant farmers still residing in Mississippi. In the early 20th century, society adopted Intelligence quotient testing to determine an individuals potential to succeed in demanding college curriculums. Nationwide scores by whites were assigned 100. Blacks averaged 80 with Jews around 106. Now it is not PC to discuss the limitations of the black student in terms of IQ, but the fact remains that they are as a race innately less intelligent and Mississippi bears the burden of educating them. Minnesota has no blacks compared to MS and cannot be compared. Are there blacks who score above 100? Yes. But they are the exception and if you have had statistics, you know the probability of scoring 4 or more standard deviations above the norm. Hence, it is more likely for a Jew to have above 140 IQ than a white; it is likely for a white to have a 140 IQ than a black. Asians were not factored in initially. This is the reality that heavy cotton growing states live with year in and year out. Compare their test scores with Detroit or Washington DC to level the playing field.
why is everyone so negative, give the new electees a chance, and if they don't produce then give them hell. and on top of that half of you can't even spell, so you have no room to degrade.
Since the State and local Ohio communities are broke the choice is clear. Raise taxes, or cut public worker jobs. Since a great majority of tax levies failed in Ohio yesterday, tax increases are not going to be happening anytime soon. So enjoy your victory and save as much as possible, because you may be about to lose your job.
amen
agreed, this will turn out to be a rather hollow victory. labor union investment of $30 million has paid off so once again, they have the right to lay workers off based on seniority. nice job, get ready for tax increases Ohioans, you have a pension to fund... and it's not yours...
"Pension accounts for state and local government workers are underfunded by $4 trillion, according to one recent analysis. If America's households were to split that tab today, each would have to kick in $34,000."
Yep, good job Ohio. BTW, that's an average, Ohio is probably $55,000 per household. Enjoy paying for someone elses retirement -- maroons...
Mississippi voters rejecting the "Personhood"(and who makes up these terms, anyway?) referendum were endorsing common sense, no matter what noises the crows make; while I agree that a life is created(and constitutionally protected) at conception, wiser men(the "Wisdom of Solomon", they like to say) in the US Supreme Court decided in 1973 that the life of the mother was more important-instead of calling the embryo a "parasite"(it's not a symbiote, either)...and left the decision to be determined on an individual basis - to stop women from having abortions with coat-hangers in alleys(remember what happened to Patrick Swayzes' girlfriend in "Dirty Dancing?") - THAT"S what Roe vs. Wade was all about, NOT murdering babies! The anti-abortion crowd-who say, "I'm FOR Life"...always seem to have no trouble getting laid, how about being responsible? What about not interfering with other American's individual rights?
The issue of overpopulation never seems to get mentioned enough; Good to see it popping up now that common sense is returning after 30 years of GOP lunacy(both fiscal and political).
The defeat of the union-buster measure in Ohio is a last-minute return to common sense by voters, at the last moment remembering that it was business-owners(and Government troops) mowing striking workers down with gunfire - at mines and factories - that caused the rise of unions. They're a necessary evil, that would not be much trouble if policed more vigorously.
Good Luck!
Keith Mason you suck. Mississippi already has strict laws and limited facilities (maybe one) for abortion. This law was more about taking away rights than anything. Other states beware. He is trying to get his foot in the door so others will follow. Mississippi was not the weak state you thought it was punk. Focus on teaching responsibility instead of tring to take away rights. Alabama and Wisconsin, I think you are next on his list.
I wonder if it is too late/filing deadline for Gov. Kasich to run for the Republican nomination in enough states to deadlock Romney? He has given Ohio his best shot. The patient was very sick, but will not take its medicine.
Perhaps California and Ohio are hoping for a national bailout? There is nothing left for Kasich to do there. He could best serve his Country by getting in even now to the Republican primary. If any of you have the Governor's ear, give it a twist:) His country needs him more than Ohio!
Kasich looked like a whipped puppy, much like Walker in Wisconsin the last time I saw him on TV.....
Kathryn, Walker is doing just fine. Wisconsin is doing even better... the unions only spent about $8 million last time around (your dues I suspect and, a pile of my tax $$) and failed. I'm sure they'll throw more at this latest waste of taxpayer money (the recall effort) and distract everyone from the task at hand. Every single district in the state under the new pension and healthcare contribution guidelines has retained all teachers and staff, those operating under existing contracts with no contributions have eliminated jobs (guess that's better, cuz they still have their 'rights') and are operating in the red.
the guys that look like whipped puppies are the ones wearing those orange shirts screaming 'shame' at the top of their lungs - attention seeking whiners that don't have a plan. For the eight previous years, the dems (progressives, liberals, left-wingers, whatever) had control of our legislature and plowed us hundreds of millions into debt by kicking the can down the road. Walker was elected to do something about it so, pay attention to your own state and let Wisconsin get back on track.
don't forget about Illinois...
"It was the very dawning of day when the term
'Dignity of Labor' meant something"
—George E. McNeill
MAYDAY, 1886: THE EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT
"ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN STRIKING FOR EIGHT HOURS," screamed the headline May 1, 1886. For twenty years working people had watched with growing anger as machines had displaced them in almost every industry and craft. Their bosses had not shared the increased productivity of those machines with them, nor passed along the profit to them as consumers in lower prices. Across the land they organized in independent unions, locals of national craft unions, and Knights of Labor assemblies.
A depression in 1884 left two million (24 percent) out of work. The unions fought back desperately against wage cuts and agitated for shorter hours to put those two million back to work. The 1884 convention of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (forerunner of the American Federation of Labor) resolved that eight hours "shall constitute a day's work from and after May 1, 1886." People in most trades worked ten hours, and those in factories longer.
The May 1 target for eight hours caught on as unions across the country prepared to implement it in their trades. Members of the Knights ignored the no-strike edict of top officials and joined the movement enthusiastically. The employers reacted ferociously to the labor unrest. Jay Gould, the railroad magnate, declared that "labor is a commodity that will in the long run be governed absolutely by the law of supply and demand." Samuel Gompers quoted one manufacturer:
"I regard my employees as do a machine to be used to my advantage, and when they are old and of no further use I cast them in the street," and another manufacturer asserted that when workers "get starved down to it they will go to work at just what you can afford to pay."
From St. Louis east, strikes began the last week in April, punctuated at intervals by huge parades and mass meetings. The first days of May, 80,000 struck in Chicago, 45,000 in New York, 32,000 in Cincinnati, and additional thousands in other cities. Some workers gained shorter hours (eight or nine) with no reduction in pay; others accepted pay cuts with the reduction in hours.
In Tacoma, Typographical Union Local 170 notified all printing offices that on May 1 the workday would be eight hours. It was. In all, the May 1 actions involved 340,000 working people. Of these, 150,000 won shorter hours without striking; 190,000 struck, and 42,000 of the strikers improved their conditions.
In Chicago on May 4 and unrelated event, the Haymarket bomb, ended the eight-hour campaign for years. A large companyof police officers charged into an Anarchist meeting in Haymarket Square and ordered the crowd to disperse. An unknown person threw a bomb into the police ranks, killing seven. Without attempting to establish the guilt of the Anarchists or any other worker, the press nationally howled for blood, evoking the lynch spirit, "Hang them first and try them afterwards."
Notwithstanding the tragedy, George E. McNeill a contemporary labor historian, declared: "The year 1886 will be known as the year of the great uprising of labor. . . .Hope seemed to have entered the heart of the most oppressed. It was the very dawning of the day when the term 'dignity of labor' meant something. Laboring men who had heretofore considered themselves as scarcely more than serfs, without rights or privileges, fearing to organize, or failing to do so because of the hopelessness of their condition, seemed to be inspired with a new spirit. So great was the increased membership that even the largest of organized labor."

Sweeeeet........guess we have finally had enough.
I expected things to go as they did in Ohio, but Mississippi was a shocker. Boner was waiting to see how things would go in his home state...not too well for him and cartoon. If things had went the other way in Ohio boner would still have reason to say no to the President's job plan, not now. Now he don't have solid ground to stand on, not that he ever did anyway. Next in Ohio, send boner and cartoon home for good.
OH voters firmly rejected the Republican agenda, but will they also reject Boehner?
The media just won't press Boehner or any of the Republicans on why they are blocking every single bill designed to create jobs and stimulate the economy.
It is this blatant conservative media bias that allows Republicans to get away with destroying the economy, then preventing anything that will help rejuvenate the economy.
Isn't that how our system works? One side can't ram through what they want to unless they have a supermajority of voters. I agree it is an inefficient system, but it is the system we have. If a person doesn't like that their representatives compromised or didn't compromise, you have the right to vote them out. Blocking a bill that they don't think will help the country is the power that they have. True that nothing gets done unless there is a deep compromise by both sides in those situations, but it supposedly limits corruption that is seen when one person makes all of the decisions (monarchy/despotism).
If you think that there is a blatant conservative media bias, feel free to not patronize those media sources.
So why dont the occupiers (joke) try and occupy a job? without blaming everthing on everyone else (losers) Because plain and simple they bare LOSERS, anyone that can camp for 60 days and not work (raping and murdering along the way) are LOSERS. The world thinks you guys (and girls) are a friggan joke, when is Country Joe And Fish gonna show up and play, you got that drunken (two livers and counting) Crosby showing up. I have worked two jobs forever and enjoy it. I am laughing so hard right now at how stupid and lame you all are, what are your demands?.."Duh we dont know"THE OCCUPIERS ARE A @!$%#ING JOKE LMAO.......HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA .......HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
You wanted more of the same, you got it. But, please, no more complaints about how the country is coming apart?
Mental illness is wanting things both ways.
Just proves that the fourth estate is having its way. An experiment in collective mind control that Stalin dreamt of has come to fruition.
