Teabaggers are really dumb-asses

This morning I talked to one of the nitwits that attended the rally. I said all three tax increases passed in Ohio, he ask what I meant by that. I told him Issue 1 is to give Middle East Veterans a $1000 bonus at a cost of $200,000,000. I said Issue 2 will create another state agency to oversee livestock treatment and food safety, that will cost who knows what. (In reality Issue 2 should be called the licence for factory farms to abuse livestock and make big profits act.) Then there is Issue 3 to permit 4 casinos in Ohio and that will raise $1,000,000,000 a year.

Well it turns out he voted for all three, well according to him Issue 1 is for the Veterans that fought for our freedom (to teabag I guess) well of course he voted for that. He thought Issue 2 actually had something to do with food safety. Then you have Issue 3 that will bring in $1 billion a year by imposing a tax on mostly people that shouldn't be gambling in the first place. Go figure these nuts out.

1. I had no probmel with the spirit of issues 1 and 3.
I disagreed with the legislation's proposed plan of action. In fact, executed differently, I would have voted yes on each. However, we should not "borrow" money for bonuses nor should monopolistic casino practices be enshrined into the actual constitution. I voted no on issue two as well.

2. Myself I read Issue 1 and first thought, that's a good idea.
But after seeing it would cost $200 million I decided it doesn't make sense to barrow money to give them a bonus when they would be the ones paying it back through higher taxes. After all they weren't drafted they voluteered and soldiers today are paid much better than we were back in the 60's. I was all for Issue #2 until I found out the ASPCA was against it and did some research. I did end up voting for Issue #3 even though I have always opposed gambling, I figure if these dumbasses voluntarily give the state money why not take it, otherwise they would just give it to another state.

4. Coach Dave

What a clown. He should spend more time with his son and less time preaching to others.

5. re issue 1
So he likes taxes when the money goes to support a cause he likes.

What a strong, principled stand.
