Republicans Lead the Best-Run States in America, Democrats Dominate the Worst | |
Old MacDonald User ID: 22787734 Canada 11/28/2012 01:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The annual Best and Worst Run States in America survey by 24/7 Wall St. came out today, revealing that the top 5 states are led by Republicans while the bottom five are dominated by Democrats. Quoting: davvi The list is based on a review of data for financial health, standard of living and government services. While noting that current situations may stem from decisions made years ago and that external factors like weather can be as much to blame as poor governance, 24/7 Wall St. also points out that all of the high-ranking states have “well-managed budgets” and the worst states have “high debt relative to both income and expenditure.” Here’s how it breaks down at the top and bottom of the list cross-referenced with details on party control based on this map from Americans for Tax Reform: [link to www.theblaze.com] ____________ does this really need explanation? republicans are better at governing while democraps are great at redistributing their states into bankruptcy. clinton's presidency was an abject failure until the republicans took over both houses of congress. the only reason clinton was re-elected was because of the success of the republican congress and their fiscal responsibility. lol, in today's america it most certainly is. In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth is a Revolutionary Act - George Orwell Rachel Maddow is HOT!!! - Seriously I'd hit it. A VOTE FOR JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN 2015, WOULD BE THE MOST COWARDLY & IRRESPONSIBLE THING A CANADIAN CITIZEN COULD DO TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE. GUN GRABBERS ARE THE COMMON ENEMY OF ALL PEOPLE. GUN CONTROL HAS RESULTED IN THE SLAUGHTER OF 262 MILLION CITIZENS BY THEIR GOVERNMENTS OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS. THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA & THE NDP ENDORSE GUN CONTROL, AN ESSENTIAL POLICY OF HITLER, STALIN, MAO, POL POT, EDI AMIN, QADDAFI, SADDAM, ASSAD, & EVERY OTHER TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT THIS PAST CENTURY. CANADIANS MUST NEVER FORGET THE BETRAYAL OF BILLS C-68 & C-17. WE MUST NOT REST UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY REPEALED. C-19 WAS A GOOD START......BUT JUST A START. GET OFF YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES AND MAKE AN IMPACT. WE HAVE 26 MONTHS. I, THEE BOB, SWEAR ON THE ALTER OF GOD TO FIGHT ALL FORMS OF CANADIAN TYRANNY AND SAVE MY COUNTRY FROM THE EVILS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. I WILL NEVER HAND IN MY GUNS. EVER. I AM A FREE MAN, I WILL NOT BE THE BITCH OF THE SOCIALIST ESTABLISHMENT. LEAVE ME ALONE. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14207070 point is both parties are terrible. sorry you feel threatened by an unbiased point of view you rendered your "unbiased point of view" irrelevant by being an anonymous COWARD. oooh, you got me. discount me however you want. it's nothing more than a cop out. reality hurts doesn't it? moron, i agree with your position that both parties do it, and you attack thinking i am threatened by an unbiased opinion? i abhor the idea that you had to bring in the weight and iq of some of the citizens in right-run states to bolster an argument. i'll post this again since you are ignoring it: attack? you're the one calling people childish names. i was simply pointing out facts about republican run states. nowhere did i question the validity of the OP or claim an opposing point. sorry you get so defensive about reality |
