I Heart Utah

On February 21, 2012 By

Utah, One of the absolute "reddest states" in our nation:

Utahns are not people of moderation. Instead of having two kids, we have five or six. Instead of having two or three drinks a week, we prefer a lifetime of abstinence. Instead of buying a flashlight, we prefer to store a [...]

H/T JSonline:

Larry and Connie Lauer happen to believe Gov. Scott Walker should be recalled. They have two grown kids who are teachers, and they think Walker went way too far by gutting collective bargaining for public employees. They believe Walker should have been clearer about his intentions when he was running for governor.

Mark Pocan spoke up on the floor of the assembly today about the ridiculous issue of republicans signing secrecy agreements. No one can seem to remember when or where they signed these agreements.

I Hope Mark Pocans continues working this hard when he is in Washington DC!

Because the Billionaires that fund them are too bat shit crazy to ever get elected. Scott Walker(and others) sugar daddy, David Koch once ran for president in 1980 and received a whopping 1% of the vote.

Koch was the Libertarian Party’s vice-presidential candidate in the 1980 presidential election, sharing the party ticket with [...]
