From Daily Kos
Anyone with half a brain can review the abyssmal health care statistics of the US instead of marching in lock-step with the Koch-funded Tea Baggers.
The US is the only Industrialized Nation that fails to provide Universal Health Care and US Health Statistics show it.
While there is little hope of Brain Washed and Poorly Educated Individuals seeking the TRUTH......VOTE! Get active! Get involved and informed! Your best revenge!
Check out the WMD Lies below...

RSN: People Who Live Near Fracking More Likely to Become Sick, Members of Congress Read Missing 28 Pages of 9/11 Report, Raise Questions of Saudi Involvement
Waiting For
Someone Else to Donate: Yesterday thirty thousand people visited RSN, 32
donated. There is no way on earth we can sustain that. Impossible. Obviously if
people are coming but not donating then those who are not donating must believe
someone else will. Don't wait for someone else to be the one ... be the one. /

Congress Read Missing 28 Pages of 9/11 Report, Raise Questions of Saudi
Involvement
Lawrence Wright, The New Yorker
Wright writes: "In 2002, the Administration of George W. Bush excised those pages from the report of the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks. President Bush said then that publication of that section of the report would damage American intelligence operations, revealing 'sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror.'"

We Coddle Bad
Cops, Vilify Good Teachers
Paul Rosenberg, Salon
Rosenberg writes: "The killing of Michael Brown brought a great many things into focus - so many that it can be hard to keep track of them all. One important point was the dramatic contrast between elite treatment of police - routinely deferred to, even when they kill - and the routine scapegoating of teachers, who are demonized for all the ills that America's elites have given up on."

RSN: As Keystone Awaits Fate, Other Tar Sands Projects Move Forward,
WHO'S YOUR
DADDY? A while back I wrote a fundraising message with the title, "Who's Your
Daddy?" I took a lot of flack for the title because a lot of people did not
understand the question. The line is borrowed from the 1968 song by the Zombies,
Time of the Season. But the question is borrowed, too. In this case the question
means who pays your bills? David and Charles Koch are "news daddies". They pay a
lot of bills to see to it that the message is ah, fair. Our Daddy and Mommy are
you. We know that. The question is one you should also consider asking of any
information source: Who's Your Daddy? Pay attention to the answer and you'll
learn a lot. We are asking for your support, it's vitally important. Thanks to
all in advance. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News

Worth reading! Greg Abbott AFRAID to DEBATE Wendy Davis! Yup! She's scary alright! 
Greg Abbott
There are times where if it wasn't real, it would be unbelievably funny... but since it is in fact, real, it is dire and sad. http://www.kansascity.com/... Kansas appeals court Judge Caleb Stegall, a staunch abortion opponent critical of a landmark school-funding case, was named to the state’s high court on Friday by Gov. Sam Brownback.Brownback culminated Stegall’s meteoric rise through the judicial ranks less than a year after nominating his former legal counsel to a seat on the Kansas Court of Appeals. Brownback selected Stegall for the Kansas Supreme Court over fellow appeals court Judge Karen Arnold-Burger of Overland Park and District Judge Merlin Wheeler.That's right. Someone with exactly one year on the bench has made a meteoric rise to the top of the legal profession in Kansas, and of course we know there have to be some fine credentials behind it.

Thank you, Michelle Bachman!
I don't know about you, but as the Republican Field of Koch Trolls has diminished, it almost appeared there would NO Amusement generated by The Koch Party in the Presidential election.
While parodies of Michelle Bachmann failed to compare with Mutton Head Palin, there surely is HOPE!
This is not to single out the Koch Party, but Folks, How 'bout we elect people with brains to govern?
Michele Bachmann announces she might run for president again???
