Which State Is Going Full Retard By Re-Electing Horrible Incumbent?

[g5000]

I would like to nominate the state of Oregon for being the most retarded today. They are about to re-elect a governor who lost a quarter of a billion dollars on their state's health insurance exchange. He bungled it so badly, they had to trash their state exchange and make everyone transfer over to the federal exchange.

The federal exchange. I ask you.

We all know how bad the federal exchange rollout was, so how fucked up do you have to be that the federal exchange looks like the better option?

A quarter of a billion dollars. Lost. And not one of the crooks who took that money is in jail. Not one has even felt the bite of a pair of handcuffs.

But this disphit Governor Kitzhaber is riding a double-digit lead over his Republican challenger.

Again, I ask you, how fucked a candidate do you have to be that you can't beat a guy who lost a quarter billion dollars?!? WTF is wrong with the GOP today? It is retard times retard. Retard squared.

Seriously.

Is it all the rain dripping on their heads which makes them that retarded in Oregon?

They don't even have the common sense to use umbrellas there.

That has to be it. The steady pitter-patter of rain on their pates has made them all numbskulls, literally.

Kind of depends on who you hold responsible for the website failure - Oracle or the Oregon IT project management, Also, the Republican candidate for OR Governor is sort of an ultra-conservative. That might go great with rural Oregonians and the nutters on this board, but not so much with the majority of folks who live here.

That is kind of my point. It should have been a cake walk to boot an executive who bungled so badly, but the GOP decided to put up the political equivalent of one-eyed hunchback to run against him.

This is what I mean when I say the retards on the Right help get people like Obama elected. Or in this case, they help a criminally negligent governor of Oregon get re-elected.

Missouri is going to re-elect it's republican majority state legislature. they kept us out of the federal exchange and have prevented a medicare expansion in our state, even though it would by all objective measures help us immensely - all because they hate obama.

my own district is going to send vicki hartzler back to the house. can't say i'm proud of that decision.

By the way, did Oregon ever get that bridge between Portland and Vancouver built?

What have they spent so far arguing over it, $100 million? At least that much. Have they even laid a single yard of concrete for it yet?

They have been arguing over it for nearly 15 years, haven't they? And wasted $100 million so far.

Un-fricking-believable.


Oregon has to be the most retarded state of the Union.

It has nothing to do with common sense here. Or integrity with voters. Even Republicans are purple in this BLUE state. It has everything to do with marijuana and entitlements. It's a socialist state, really, but independents have broken for Richardson as of this post. Not a chance in France, though, will it make.

The "First Lady" of Oregon isn't even the Governor's wife. And she married some African guy back in the 90s for cash so he could come here and become a citizen. And there are some other scandals revolving around her, some of which have to do with her business being in conflict with being the "First Lady".

How the FUCK is it possible this guy is getting re-elected?!? How could the Republicans NOT beat the shit out of this guy at the polls?


This tells me more about Oregon and the Oregon Republican Party than I want to know.

Trick is to live in a tourist economy town, where the chances are high that you will get to talk to some intelligent life in the universe, several months a year.

You want the gop to embrace choice, income inequality and gay rights? Probably legal pot too? I mean, I couldn't care less about those issues myself ... well, I consider the gop's opposition to taxing the very rich to be suicidal, but .....

The bridge project (Columbia River Crossing) to widen I-5 and add Light Rail to Vancouver died earlier this year. guess the politicians in WA and OR couldn't get funding and a signed agreement done. We are making do with the existing Interstate bridge I-5, and I-205 bridge for travel between Portland and Vancouver. 15 years and $195M down the drain.

In years past, I started many topics about South Carolina. One topic title of mine asked what was in the water there.

Some of the most fascinating dysfunctional political stuff you will ever see happens in South Carolina. It's a wonderful, wonderful state to examine for amusement purposes.
