Politically speaking, I find that Republicans are far more likable when they behave like Republicans.

There aren’t a whole hell of a lot of Republicans here in New York – and I am including those who actually have “R”s after their names – which is why it behooves many of us Empire Staters who wish to find principled Republicans to look southward and westward into the vast expanse of “flyover” country – where the soul of America really resides.
Today, I invite those of you taking notes to take a look at Kansas. (For those on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, it’s one of America’s 57 states, located west of twelfth Avenue, where the corn and stuff is).

Irresponsible state legislatures are wasting precious resources as they try to continue business as usual while everything is collapsing around them.
Many of us have been demanding our state governments make the painful cuts now to save even worse pain later, but it falls on deaf ears. Republicans in state Houses all over the country need to make their stand now because it appears the Democrats will keep playing the denial game until the music stops.
It will take acouple months for the morons to realize what a total idiot this guy is. And his crew.
