The Empire Strikes Back

The Empire Strikes Back
One tea-bagging shithead bites the dust.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/03/us/pol....html?_r=0


Quote:Tim Huelskamp, Anti-Establishment House Republican, Loses Primary in Kansas

Quote:Mr. Marshall won with the support of business groups and the agriculture lobby, which had turned its back on Mr. Huelskamp after Speaker John A. Boehner had him removed from the Agriculture Committee in 2012, a crucial position for a legislator from a farm state. Mr. Huelskamp was a frequent critic of Mr. Boehner, who resigned last year amid strife with the Republican Party’s right wing.

RE: The Empire Strikes Back
Apparently it wasn't just Huelskamp.  Brownback took it up the ass.

Quote:Conservatives trounced as Kansas voters shut down Gov. Brownback’s disastrous Tea Party ‘experiment’


Now let's see if they elect democrats instead of slightly less nutty republicunts.

RE: The Empire Strikes Back
Here you go, Kansas.  Let's see how smart you are.... or how stupid.

Quote:Sam Brownback’s downward spiral accelerates after another godawful Kansas jobs report

Quote:Even though many of Brownback’s Tea Party allies bit the dust in Republican primaries earlier this month, Brownback once again insisted that his supply-side tax cuts were working just as he planned and that prosperity was just around the corner.

Yael Abouhalkah notes, however, that last month’s Kansas jobs report paints an absolutely brutal picture of the state’s economy right now, and that’s without even considering that Kansas’s state government is perpetually falling short on needed revenue for public services.

You can vote for something besides a republicunt, you know!
