Look no further than Tennessee for repressive laws against the LGBT community and efforts at voter suppression in general. This is what Arkansas will see with a GOP majority.
Posted by LinCo_Progressive]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:43:54 -0500 Arkansas Times How a democrat negotiates with a republican:

A republican proposes:
"To maintain the system of capitalism that ensures our freedom we must have a secure workforce. Therefore, all workers must be chained to their workplace and pay for their own chains."

The democrat counters with:
"The government will pay a portion of the cost for the chains on a sliding scale based on income."

The republican grudgingly agrees but demands that the employer receive a tax credit for depreciation to the facility caused by the chains.

The democrat sends out a news release to his constituents that he stood up for the American workers.

The republican sends out a news release condemning the democrats' wild spending of taxpayers' dollars.

But MAINLY the accompanying pic. Because, what a moment for my Razorbabies to test their Gaydar!

Those of us in Tinseltown have it down to a science.

Natural Staters? Not so much. Which of these men is the closet queen with Daddy issues and which the straight guy with Daddy issues?

Reeks before you have an apoplectic fit (whoops too late) please address your comments to the repugs beginning with Griffin, Mauch, Hubbard & Fuqua to name but a few fellow loons who represent your point of view.

For the 111th time, it's a matter of brain wiring. It's brain wiring that causes Republicans to goose-step together easily. And it's brain wiring that makes Democratic thought so diverse. Those goose-stepping together are always more powerful than those looking off in a million different directions.

I'm not very smart but it didn't take me but a few days to figure out there's no compromising with today's Republicans. It WILL be their way or no way. Every time Obama extended his hand across the isle he drew back a bloody stub. The same will happen in Arkansas once Beebe is gone and the R's take over our legislature. If you think our legislature has been nutty and ineffective before....you ain't seen nothing yet.

Max's threads about the racist Nazis running in this election is about all you need to know about Arkansas Republican leaders. They'll take us back to 1860 the minute they have consolidated the power. They'll bring back the glory days of white men and woe unto everyone else. Jim Crow is warming up in the bullpen as I type. Paul Van Dalsem is smiling from the grave. Remember The Alamo will be the next thing my hispanic neighbors hear. Most of all our schools will suffer and no amount of Scholarship Money will be able to reverse the move backwards to the 19th century of Arkansans starving on the same old rocky piece of earth that starved their grand pappy.

I'm waiting to see the effects of Pulpit Freedom Sunday, supposedly going on today. Adding to the dislike of black skin that's normal in Arkansas, today preachers will be informing their flock that God wants Republicans in office because only Republicans love them a heap 'o Jesus. And if we want to stay firmly in 48th spot on all shit lists we better vote Republican lest we lose the favors God has already bestowed on Arkansas, though except for beautiful country, I'm not sure what those favors might be.

The Internet Tubes have exposed how stupid Americans are and it's just almost too sad to fathom. We're stupid to the point of being ungovernable. We're mean to the point that the rest of the world may come after us. Our compassion at best reaches to the edge of our property line, at worst to the end of our own nose. No one exhibits I GOT MINE--FK YOU like a Republican. Let them take over at your own peril. The Bain-ing of America will trickle down to the smallest little crossroad in Arkansas and you won't like it. But Republican Party on, Garth! And suffer ye little children......indeed.

Those kinds of "good" Klansmen.

I have heard similarly empty and unconvincing talk from a few Germans of the Nazi period who dare to talk openly and honestly about what happened in their nation during those dark years. Talk about "good" SS men who weren't really in the SS for nasty ideological reasons, but due to patriotism and the desire to strengthen the nation.

Give me a break. Anyone who votes Republican right now knows precisely what he/she is facilitating. As Verla says, there is not a middle road in this election.

And the Republican party has long since exited the middle. The attempt of some Republicans to pretend that their party continues to contain moderates and espouse moderate positions is patently absurd and about as convincing as talk about nice, upstanding Klansmen and SS men.

It used to be a true big-tent coalition party between business and labor. Now the business wing of the party has mostly been purged out, or dying out through attrition- except in Hollywood.

Always. Not just when it is politically appropriate.
Keep plugged in with your constituents, not the lobbyist or other rich blowhards.

Too many men have become corrupted by power. Your reason for serving is to voice your districts and your concerns, and then do something about it.
