The rich don't seem to understand that, if the poor had more money, that would be more for the rich to take from them. So a minimum wage hike would only roll right back to where it came from. I give you $5 then I charge you $5 for breathing my air. See ? 0 impact.

I really don't know what you are trying to say about the RICH Dems other than they voted against raising the minimum wage. Only 6 Dems joined the 227 Republicans in voting against raising the minimum from $7.25 to $10.10 in March 2013.

Those 6 Democrats are as un-American as the 227 Republicans. I have never seen a group of people fighting for more poverty, the uneducated, and against the first black president, who, BTW is trying to modernize this country.

Do you know that 80% of Texans only have a high school diploma? That is what happens to a state after it has been under Republican rule for almost 20 years. Now is that something to celebrate? I find it rather appalling myself.

Restricting gun ownership is the way to go, but the NRA opposes any restrictions. You should know that, and why is it that the anti-choicers are the one's who own most of the guns? The Democrats who own guns are the one's who think background checks should be expanded and a limit put on the number of bullets in a magazine. That didn't go over very well in Colorado when the Republicans ousted two Dems who wanted to protect more people from being killed. And the Republicans jumped in and said we can't have people's lives being saved, we want more to die, we want more guns.

Banning guns in Australia was the way for them to go, even the actor Hugh Jackman is sorry that the US has a 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. Australia has not had a mass murder from guns since 1996 and you will never say that about America. People just do not die when shot, many are left paralyzed and some lose their eyesight, their arms and legs.

Seriously, in Texas they can now carry long guns in the open; it is called "open carry Texas" or OCT. Now, that is just how much those "bloodthirsty rightwing Christians" care about the lives of children or their parents. When 4 moms from "Moms Demand Action" were having a meeting in a restaurant they gathered outside and terrorized them until they called the police.

Why did the right become so outraged when Wendy Davis said she was pro-life? Your version of pro-life ends at birth, our version begins at birth. Time in the womb is about 9 months, outside can be a 100 plus years. Your version is just a way to control women, tell them what they can do or can't do with their own bodies.

Wendy Davis Redefines "Pro-Life" Enrages Anti-Choicers

Your pro-life opinion should be about your wife, girlfriend or any other women in your family and that is where it should end. Controlling other men's wives or girlfriends is up to them, not the GOP government, they are not paying for those childrens future. And since they just want to keep their constitutents from having ObamaCare because of their hatred from our first black president, the taxpayer will continue to pay for those unwanted births.

I'm not sure what medication you're on, but I recommend you get another doctor and have your dosage changed, or put on a different medication. You're halluciating with ths drivel you're spewing. I can't believe you really believe any of this, because it's pure malarky!

SchoonerPete

Hooray NRA! Leave my guns alone! If you don't like guns, move to Australia, but leave my guns alone...bleeding heart liberal!

SchoonerPete

Obama is NOT trying to modernize this country, he's ruining it! I guess you like communism? God! What rock do you commies crawl out from under???!!! You talk about education, you're an idiot!

SchoonerPete

Thank you for this post! I currently have my NRA renewal notice in front of me, which I was just about to renew for one more year. Thanks to your post, I decided instead to renew for five years! I decided to help the NRA in their fight against you communists. I just wanted you to know.

Yes and because I disagree with Obama I am called racist. I disagreed with Clinton was I racist then? I don't hate Obama, just disagree, and the vast majority of the people that disagree with him are not racist and do not hate him. You liberals love to tell everyone else how they feel about Obama even though it's not true. You talk about controlling women's lives, I have no desire to control anyone's life as do liberals by telling them they have to buy insurance they don't need. My wife and I am in our 50's and will never have another child yet Obamacare says we have to carry policies that have prenatal care. There are many other things that we have to carry now that we will not need for in insurance yet Obama says we have to have it. You want to take guns away from people that have never committed a crime. You want to force people to drink small sodas and not have salt as did the New York City Mayor. You think you know what is best for everyone and then pass laws to enforce all of these things.
No I have no desire to control anyone else. I only desire to tell women what a mistake abortion is. If a woman wants an abortion far be it from me to stop them. I do have a right to an opinion regardless of what you say. There again you are telling me what I can have an opinion on and what I can't. Typical liberal control. We have a huge difference of opinion. That's fine. I believe abortion is wrong and you don't. You want to have an abortion that's you decision. Just don't tell me I don't have a right to my own opinion!

Why do men die before women? They want to.

I want some sources here, because I posted some evidence on page 1 that shows GOP states have higher poverty and lower education levels

My whole point was that it is easy to take advantage of people when you keep them dumb and poor. There is no disputing that red states are the dumbest and poorest, and also receive more welfare. When I look at
debt I understand that some states have more people than others, and logically they would have to spend more, so I look at the per capita numbers and overall I would say it is a pretty even split:

http://www.governing.com/gov-data/state-debt-per-capita-figures.html

And even though unemployment numbers mean nothing to me since it only includes people actively seeking employment and does not include people who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, nor does it include the underemployed, the numbers there are mixed too:

Now you can talk about blue states all you want, and yes, some spend more money than others, but it is impossible to deny that blue states are doing more for the people. They are educating their people better, keeping them out of poverty and off food stamps, assisting them with health insurance, and taking care of the most vulnerable people who need it the most.

I'm actually pretty happy I don't live in a red state. My state's average IQ is over 86 and a majority of children know that earth is over 6k years old. In my state it is not more difficult to vote than to get a gun. In my state minimum wage is almost bearable and average wages are much higher. We believe in rights for women and minorities. My state is one of the most liberal states in the union, and we have had universal health care for years now, and guess what, it works. It didn't destroy our economy or ruin our way of life. And it was glitchy at first, but now less than a decade later, the populace could not be happier. Same for gay marriage. This is the 21st century, not the 19th, get with the times

Lowlifes or not JFK did more for this country than any POTUS since and the Kennedys have helped make Massachusetts a great state. Joe Kennedy started the fuel assistance program when I was a kid that helped poor families afford high winter bills. The list of things they havedone to help people is too long to post

Oh lord more misinformed propaganda. Men aren't forced to pay for maternity insurance, it is a standard that certain level plans must include, just like there is preventive care for prostate cancer that certain levels must include. How can people say that this is a bad thing? Insurance companies must now include things that can save lives or make life easier for everybody. Last I checked, men help create babies. I also believe a father, unless by rape or incest, should have some right to say whether he wants an abortion, the choice should not be only up to the woman. But they also benefit from these women getting that insurance. It benefits everybody and honestly we pay insurance companies enough, they should cover the minimum essentials.
