right to work states have lower avg incomes than blue states, so more ty jobs/suppressed salaries.lol alternet. lol echo chamber
Eight of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment in America have Republican governors.
Gerogia Governor Nathan Deal saved the state’s popular college scholarship program from bankruptcy.
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback reformed the state Medicaid program to improve and
expand services while saving the state more than $800 million over five years — without
cutting provider rates or removing people from Medicaid.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie saved retirees their pensions through pension reform,
which also resulted in taxpayers saving $120 billion over 30 years.
Ohio Governor John Kasich closed an $8 billion shortfall without raising taxes.
He revamped economic development and diversified his state’s employment base,
and Ohio’s unemployment rate has dropped steadily.
etc...etc....
Probably won't find that on alternet.

A Conservative Republican Black Surgeon.
Wild Cobra's head is spinning.
I think Romney did have a realistic chance, but that an overlong nomination process and a horribly run campaign did him in.
Obama's camp continues to impress with their data mining and web-savy approach to campaigning.
so he didn't REALLY have a chance. Obamacare Barry/2012 won much bigger than "war president" dubya/2004.
Christie also 'reformed' pensions for groups that didn't need 'saving', ie: Police and Fire Fighters, whose funds were fully funded.
His 'New jersey comeback' "plan" also has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation to show for it.
He also vowed to lower property taxes (NJ has one of the highest rates in the nation), and people are still waiting.
I'm sure alternet covered some of these here and there

Yeah that's what I said.
You are an idiot if you think everything is just peachy.
It wasn't just the presidency that the GOP failed. They also performed poorly in the Congressional elections. Compare it to what they were 'supposed' to do and it was an abject failure.
Good find.
Translation: People don't like our policies so we shouldn't talk about them.One of the contributors to this problem is that while Democrats tend to talk about people,
Republicans tend to talk about policy. Our ideas can sound distant and removed from
people’s lives. Instead of connecting with voters’ concerns, we too often sound like
bookkeepers. We need to do a better job connecting people to our policies.
Repug policies? Y'all want to talk about Repug policies?
Two-Thirds Of House GOP’s Budget Cuts Come From Programs For Low-Income Americans
The House Republican budget’s vast spending cuts are overwhelmingly aimed at low-income Americans, so much so that nearly two-thirds of its budget cuts would come from poverty programs that aid the neediest people in the nation, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), the plan’s author, claims his budget will cut a total $4.6 trillion in spending by using a baseline that includes current policies like the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, among other policies. By counting those cuts and other policies that are unlikely to remain in tact, CBPP estimates that the House Republican plan would cut even more — a total of $5 trillion. Of that, 66 percent of the cuts — a total of $3.3 trillion — would come from programs that help low-income Americans, CBPP found:
This version of the House GOP plan cuts even more from low-income programs than the 2012 version, which found 62 percent of its cuts from similar sources. That version was even more draconian than its predecessor, meaning Ryan’s budgets have gotten more devastating for the poor each year.
The social safety net keeps millions of Americans out of poverty each year, but the House GOP plan seeks to convert many of them, including food stamps, into block grants to states that follow the model of the 1996 welfare reform law that has failed to help children and families in poverty, particularly during and after the Great Recession. At the same time, Ryan’s plan provides $5.7 trillion in tax cuts aimed largely at the wealthy and corporations. Under his proposal, the average millionaire would see a tax cut of at least $200,000.

lol thinkprogress.Repug policies? Y'all want to talk about Repug policies?
so you really can't dispute CBPP analysis? analysis averse? TB
Maybe you should start with their baseline assumptions, which include a crap load of the Ryan plan's cuts. Then they build a case against the very data points they use to make their "analysis".
Too ing funny. Not surprising you can't see this, tho.
Since thinkprogress didn't spell it out for you, you remain oblivious to it. lol simpleton.
so the spending cuts on the poor and tax cuts on the corps/1% are all bogus?
lol. You can't even ask the right questions. lol simpleton.
I took a thinkprogress hit piece apart in 30 seconds (again) and all you can do is ask asinine, talking point questions.
maybe you should be asking yourself why you quote such a low content blog like tp.
answer evasion? TB
"so the spending cuts on the poor and tax cuts on the corps/1% are all bogus?"answer evasion? TB
Of course not. But the analysis by CBPP and tp is . That's the point I'm making and you continue to ignore.
lol boutons
lol logic evasion
No it's not. Do you apply all "what if" scenarios to your belief system?
You should ask yourself the same question. Youre well known for "what if <made up nonsense that in your mind would excuse or validate what you want to believe>" and then acting and talking along those lines. You try and center the discussion around said wishful thinking.
For example:
You do it all the time.
