Republican crazy all over

There are so many places where Republicans are just going crazy with legislation, all against the American people, the voter, the average citizen and worker lately. I'll only post three here today, one each from Washington, Jefferson City, here in Missouri and Topeka, Kansas. First, Washington--Senate Republicans just voted down a bill that would take away tax subsidies for "Big Oil", the most profitable industry in the nation and world. Forget that they're making more money than ever and more than any other industry. Their minions in Washington want to keep giving them tax breaks. Second, from Topeka and holy cow, they're doing all kinds of crazy over there. Last evening, The Lawrence Journal-World reported that the Kansas House gives preliminary OK to bill that supporters say preserves religious freedom, but opponents say allows discrimination From the article: "The Kansas House on Wednesday advanced legislation that would allow a religious defense to discriminate against gays." Because nothing gives Jesus message of "Love your neighbor", especially from a church, like discriminating against your fellow man, right? Finally, from Jeff City, this from the AFL-CIO and St. Louis Today, earlier today: "Instead of focusing on what's really important for Missouri families, politicians voted to override Governor Nixon's veto of SB 572 on a strict party-line vote. This legislation strips critical benefits for workers suffering from life-threatening diseases contracted on the job. It cuts compensation for workers suffering occupational diseases to a minimal amount– just enough to cover the hospital bills and pay for burial." Nice, eh? It's so clear that in all corners the Republicans can, they are stripping power and/or money and/or rights--or, worse, a comination thereof--from the average Americans and mightily, mightily supporting corporations, the wealthy and corporate America first, last and foremost, at all turns. Friends just don't let friends vote Republican.
