“They wanted the cops to bloody ’em up. So some poor Occupier schlub of human debris has indeed been bloodied up somewhere. Look for that photo all over the place. It will be expanded all over the place, too. Let’s see. Yep, they found somebody with blood on ’em on PMSNBC. Bulldozers have been brought in to clear up the filth. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it was not blood on the Occupier on MSNBC but rather ketchup or stage blood, whatever is used.”
–Rush Limbaugh, yesterday

Like attracting the homeless to your neighborhood or business that don’t provide healthcare, previous over zealous Medicaid expansion (2006-present) has now show itself to have damaged the states ability to fund k-12 and now risks further damaging Colorados seniors.
Homeowners pay property tax.
Unless, …. they get old, then they can pay 1/2.
Doesn’t matter if they are rich beyond belief, or so poor they actually qualify for medicaid.
Owens did it – did you blame him for attacking seniors?
Hey I know – let’s make property taxes voluntary.
Feigning concern for the vulnerable citizens of our state is hard work when empathy is a foreign concept.
Jan Brewer and her Republican partisans yesterday lost an important decision in the Arizona Supreme Court. You may recall that a few weeks ago Brewer recommended, and the State Senate voted, to oust the chair of the state’s Independent Redistricting Commission after their preliminary Congressional map wasn’t to the GOP’s liking.
Last night the Court ruled against the action, stating that Brewer failed to show cause for the ouster (the State Constituional provision creating the IRC allows for removal, but only for cause – with some specific definitions of cause).
With this ruling, the IRC is restored to independence and will probably produce a finalized map in the near future – perhaps as soon as mid-December.
Would any politician propose this to be the law of the land today?
but it would require an additional two-hundred pages of definitional loopholes and addenda.
For example, “People”: Freeborn anglo propery owning males (for no less than four generations) and/or having a gross annual income in excess of $5 million and/or by special recommendation of a memeber of congress upon receipt of sufficient
remunerationpatriotic consideration and/or corporations . . .Think about it.
at least 200 different pork projects and other set-asides tucked into the bill.
You know, like building ships in Mississippi…
makes me sad.
in realizing that the founders knew it could happen.
A republic…if you can keep it.
And others.
I’m not a fan of Presidential term limits. IN fact, a 3rd Reagan term would have been wayyy better than either Bush deal.
Anyhoo – it’s a beautiful day where I am. Make it one where you are.
Mark Ferrandino was just elected House Minority Leader.
“selected” might be more accurate than elected. He was unchallenged for the post.
Most Americans do no mind some disparity in outcome.
Most Americans prefer a level playing field and equal opportunity .
Most Americans would also like to believe that mobility between the various income quintiles is only restricted by hard work and perhaps a little luck. Not condition of birth like last name, or zip code.
Most of us also believe in progressive taxation- you make more, you pay more. You don’t make much, you don’t pay much.
Once upon a time, American millionaires, what we should now more correctly call millionaires and billionaires, realized that we were one nation, indivisible under God. And that if we all benefited together we would stay that way, it made us stronger.
But now, the idea is that sure we are equal is fine as long as some are more equal than others.
We bailed out the banks because they and their wealthy investors and customers crashed our economy. But there have been no indictments. And no tough new (old) regulation.
The 1% have been and continue to do great. Even the other 19% of the top quintile have done ok, though they are feeling some pain now. (If nothing else, that queasy feeling as they realize the floor is collapsing under them and they are about to join the other 80%.)
But the median household income of approx $42,000 would be very different if over the past 80 years the rising tide lifted all boats. It would be a little over $90k.
Where did those gains go? A flattened, less progressive tax code yielded a much better improvement in income for the top 20%, including a MUCH, MUCH bigger gain in net income for the 1%.
They should pay their fair share or leave. Yes, they can emigrate anytime they want. We stand together, or we fail. A house divided cannot stand.
No sane Americans mind that some are rich and some are not. No sane American is looking for equality of income or wealth. Just like no sane American opposes equal opportunity and some semblance of equal gains and fair treatment.
What I’d like to see is the corollary to “Change in share of income vs. 1979” is change in share of taxes paid.
The rich have gotten richer. Are they paying proportionally more or less tax in relationship to how their wealth has increased?

So yes, Scott Gessler is correct. If they throw the full resources of the state at this problem, they’ll almost certainly be able to find illegal voting on par with New Mexico.
And how many is that? Well…
That’s right, across the state we probably have a whopping 19 people voting illegally.
Surprised A-GOP isn’t all over this as VINDICATION!!!
That’s what Limbaugh is best at. That’s all he does. How anyone thinks that man is decent is beyond me. Anyone who calls someone “human debris” without provocation shouldn’t be allowed to have their own podcast, forget having a radio show.
We should never decide who is “allowed” to have a radio show.
Scott was clearly venting, not proposing anything.
I like it when people publicly proclaim their opinions. I wish more people would do it more often.
Don Imus isn’t “allowed” to have his syndicated radio show because of the stupid shit he said.
Hank Williams Jr. isn’t “allowed” to be Mr. Monday Night Football because of the remarks he made.
Yet almost every day this kind of mean-spirited stupidity spews from Limbaugh’s pie hole and…. he’s loved for it?
It’s not the fact that he says stupid shit that bothers me, it’s the fact that there’s thousands of people out there listening to him and nodding their head going, “Rush is so right all the time.” that make me sick.
My theory is the only people who listen to Limbaugh either agree with him or have a strong opinion on the strengths of the first amendment. I’m one of the latter, so I’m not a fan of any legislation or policy silencing dumbasses. We do that too well in the private sector, sadly enough.
Limbaugh sells a lot of Geritol.
