"Now Rick Scott finds himself the least popular newly elected governor in Florida history. It's not just a matter of the honeymoon being over—this looks like a drunken Vegas marriage heading for a shotgun divorce"..

That choice also cost us Russ Feingold.

This is really sick because these assholes are now in office for years and will major impact on state legistlation and possibly the 2012 general election.

Buyer's remorse - in a big way.

GRAMMAR POLICE!

(and it is "populaRity") :evilgrin:

I am a lousy speller, :dunce:

:hi:

I've learned quite of bit about grammar and vocabulary while here on DU. I've added quite of few words to my everyday language.

I don't mind being corrected, and it puts DUers at a distinct advantage over "that other political website" that seems to revel in poor English skills...

Its not really a surprise, but frustrating? Yes.

Most people just scan daily headlines.. or just catch a few minutes of Faux while grabbing a beer at a bar.. or hear a little RW talk radio while driving in their cars. If that is all they get, then no doubt their view of politics is totally skewed. Now they/we are paying the price for their ignorance. It is terribly frustrating.

They blow chunks...

more than likely. The Repubs whole agenda is to destroyand set back progress on everything as quickly as possible. Then a Democrat is elected and can't clean up the mess as quickly as the electorate thinks they should. So Repubs are in again to once again destroy as quickly as possible. What a VICIOUS, VICIOUS cycle.........

The one-term governors will be rewarded by their Koch and DeVos masters.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: Funded by the Koch Bros.

Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker, whose bill to kill collective bargaining rights for public-sector unions has caused an uproar among state employees, might not be where he is today without the Koch brothers. Charles and David Koch are conservative titans of industry who have infamously used their vast wealth to undermine President Obama and fight legislation they detest, such as the cap-and-trade climate bill, the health care reform act, and the economic stimulus package. For years, the billionaires have made extensive political donations to Republican candidates across the country and have provided millions of dollars to astroturf right-wing organizations. Koch Industries’ political action committee has doled out more than $2.6 million to candidates. And one prominent beneficiary of the Koch brothers’ largess is Scott Walker.

The DeVos Family: Meet the Super-Wealthy Right-Wingers Working With the Religious Right to Kill Public Education

<snip>

The decades-long campaign to end public education is propelled by the super-wealthy, right-wing DeVos family. Betsy Prince DeVos is the sister of Erik Prince, founder of the notorious private military contractor Blackwater USA (now Xe), and wife of Dick DeVos, son of the co-founder of Amway, the multi-tiered home products business.

By now, you've surely heard of the Koch brothers, whose behind-the-scenes financing of right-wing causes has been widely documented in the past year. The DeVoses have remained largely under the radar, despite the fact that their stealth assault on America's schools has the potential to do away with public education as we know it.

Right-Wing Privatization Forces

The conservative policy institutes founded beginning in the 1970s get hundreds of millions of dollars from wealthy families and foundations to develop and promote free market fundamentalism. More specifically, their goals include privatizing social security, reducing government regulations, thwarting environmental policy, dismantling unions -- and eliminating public schools.

one that most of the rest of your party doesn't necessarily support as vehemently or at all.

However I do take issue with the "liberals do it too" line he had in there;



That's a bunch of bullshit. Liberals weren't able to do anything because of the rather spineless Senate leadership and a President who is way too bipartisan.

That corrupt decision allowed the Kochs and DeVoses to finance campaign ads via their Freedoms Works and other fronts. They've got the rhetoric down.

And, in cases like Arizona, distractions like SB1070 distracted voters from economic issues so they voted for whomever would be toughest on the dreaded "illegals" who are supposedly ruining the state's economy. Right. Anyone with half a brain knows the gardeners, cleaning ladies, and busboys aren't to blame for the banksters and real estate fraud. But yet oooooo headless bodies in the desert.

The Democrats should be all over this.
