Kansas abortion vote set for Aug. 2
It’s funny I have said this should happen but of course the Republicans can’t help themselves they are so dishonest the vote isn’t going to happen during the general election nope
Republicans in the state legislature placed the abortion measure on the ballot as a special election alongside the previously scheduled primary, where traditionally only party-affiliated voters are allowed to vote. Many of the state’s unaffiliated voters — about 30 percent of the electorate — may not be aware they can vote this time, , a voter advocacy group, who called the move “blatantly anti-democratic.” University of Kansas law professor Stephen McAllister, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who served as the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Kansas, said that they are being disingenuous, and the real goal of the amendment is to pave the way for the Republican-led legislature to pass an outright abortion ban in its next session in January. Just another example of the lack honesty of Republicans and commitment to free and fair elections. Who are cowards to not hold the vote during a General election .. |
you never heard of a referendum?

No, it’s not a secret, but they are banking on lower turnout, dominated by older, more conservative voters. As you like to say, tell me that’s wrong and why they can’t put it on the general ballot in November.

can i ask you a sincere question? i saw Faucci on tv, he was being grilled about the effect of covid vaccines on women’s menstrual cycles, Faucci admitted there was concern, and said “we need to study it more.” isn’t that the kind of thing you study, before essentially forcing everyone to get 3 doses of the drug?

Any normal objective person sees this for what it is . and rock hound laid it out in the simplest of terms But you seemed to have taken the GOP side .. In a nut shell the GOP is doing what subway did . Claiming to sell a 100% tuna sub (a Democratic vote) but minus the Tuna ( twisting and rushing a vote on a primary day ) While still saying their tuna sub is 100% tuna Republicans are afraid of the ballot box that’s why they attack any attempts to make voting easy and accessible for everyone. But gerrymandering the electoral college and voting restrictions are the way they can stay in power Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
“Women can’t have rights because they are ugly” is not the winning argument MAGAts like Jim and Matt Gaetz think it is.

A vote for Republican in November is a vote to eliminate abortion, to restrict contraception, to prevent interstate travel for reproductive care, and to eliminate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

All you wish to do is impose your beliefs on others as some righteous Zealot its the new GOP No different than the Sunnis in Iraq a religious and political minority. Whos only way to stay in power is to cheat and intimidate and lie and create a system where they are insulated by the vote of the Majority ... And who of course claim those in the Majority are tyrannical and are trying to oppress them and their religion .. By suggesting the liberal idea of treating All Americans equally Some how infringes on them and their life its all :bs: |

You’re clinging to the old liberal notion that sky high taxes are good, because younger what you pay for. Americans are realizing what bullsh*t that is. I’m not saying WV and KY are better than the CT suburbs. But there are specific places in red states, where you can get a very similar quality of life compared to what you’d get in CT, for way less cost. I’ve listed cities in NH ( Bow , Bedford, Hollis, Brookline, Amherst), some of the best schools in the state. Zero state income tax, zero state sales tax. My brother moved to Franklin TN years ago, very low taxes, zero decrease in quality of life You’re problem is, you think every square inch of all red states, is fried twinkies and trailer parks and meth labs. It’s simply not true, Americans are realizing it, and the exodus has begun. No one cares that you don’t happen to like it. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

exacerbate the exodus. Same thing coming in NJ and IL. It’s elementary school arithmetic. It’s not complicated. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
That Headline was in a paper
Whatever makes you think red states are immune “In February 2022, 14 of the top 50 metros had a rent share higher than 30% relative to the median household income,” Realtor.com reported. “The least affordable rental market was Miami, Fla., followed by western and Sun Belt metros like Los Angeles, Calif., Riverside, Calif., Tampa, Fla., and San Diego, Calif. In addition, affordability has worsened in each one of the 14 markets as the current rent share of income is higher than this time last year and also higher than the average for 2021 as a whole.” Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

let’s you look at national rankings of high schools. from US News and World report. I live in a middle class Hartford suburb called southington. it’s a nice, very typical CT suburb. i pay all the usual CT taxes. the public high school is ranked 3,418th in the nation. We looked at moving once, to Hollis NH. zero state income tax, zero state sales tax. Massive savings over CT. and the public high school is ranked 1,119th in the nation. Much better. I’m not saying every town in NH is great. What i’m saying, is that there are specific towns in red states ( and only in red states) that have a much better value proposition than comparable towns in blue states. there are beautiful places to live in CT. But they’re all insanely expensive., so they’re not all a great value. There’s no denying that. what am i getting for all the taxes i pay in CT, that i wouldn’t get in a beautiful suburb in NH, TN, or NC? https://www.usnews.com/education/bes...h-school-12389 Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Here is a story that of course completely makes Jim’s claim of people moving to red states are solely political and Jim please don’t say you never suggested that “ yup. just like them. how come everyone wants to move to red states?”
When the truth is How’s the internet services seems to be the number 1 concern of people looking to move into what’s considered rural community Americans are moving to rural areas in ever-increasing numbers, reflecting their increased desire to seek out more space, embrace entrepreneurial opportunities, and take advantage of a lower cost of living. Politics was last on the list DECIDING FACTORS However, one factor, internet service, would be the deciding factor for 67% of those who responded to the Paulsen and Audience Audit survey. Ultimately, many Americans would consider making a move if there had a reliable internet connection. This is one of the biggest issues that some folks have with the rural migration. If there is no service, then many people will not be able to keep their jobs and work from home Among the top reasons that survey respondents said that they moved to a rural area include: More land or space around home Fewer people More home for less money Safe environment with clean air and water Lower cost of living No traffic Different culture Living in a place with different political affiliation https://www.aem.org/news/the-rural-m...ere-its-headed Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |
