Kansas Governor watch (early polling)

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

Yes, I posted a pic from MSNBC. I don't have a clue when that poll was taken. Then you linked this article: http://www.kansascity.com/2014/04/22/4974743/new-poll-shows-brownback-leading.html showing Brownback w/ a 7 point lead in 1 poll. Then I quoted a paragraph later in that same article that had a PPP poll showing Davis in the lead FROM EARLIER IN THE MONTH OF APRIL. Then you said that same PPP poll was from months ago and now continue to act like a rough ridin' dumbass.

Tomorrow I'll teach you how to read you illiterate $!#*.

If there was a PPP poll taken in April, you and that bumble eff writer you're faithfully relying on are the only people who know about it. Which is why I directed you to the PPP website to begin with, bad person.

[Asteriskhead]

Because the article said

Confirmed dumbass. Real bulls eye for msnbc.

 

I always find it bizarre when someone, who is unquestionably proven to be wrong, continues to try and act like they weren't caught with their pants down. It's just the interwebs, bro.

so you just completely ignored the post where I went to the rasmussen website and pulled the dates the survey was conducted then?

Nobody is disputing the date of the Rasmussen poll, metalhead. Ell is a dumbass because he linked a graphic from msnbc recycling that's over two months ago. 

Tomorrow I'll teach you both how to tie your shoes

After you get done with that I'll teach you how to read a calendar. We can be best friends that help each other learn life skills!

Apparently, the State's bond rating was just lowered by Moody's, primarily due to a 45% decrease in State Rev.

So, that sounds good before an election.

Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane, summed up the Republican stance poetically.

“There are a natural consequences for being in an ocean, in a sea, that belongs to Obama,” he said.

Do you guys think the federal government might bail us out?

Probably, but on condition a lib gets to run the state.

What are the shortfalls in other states?

What are the shortfalls in other states?

It's not the shortfall necessarily that caused the downgrade - its that Kansas doesn't currently have a mechanism in place to replace the lost revenue after the promised economic growth didn't materialize.

States run by liberals are in much better shape.

That was pretty stupid of Brownback to promise an increase in economic growth and revenue within the first two years of phasing in tax reductions. Can't believe he promised that. He did promise that, right?

"Moody’s Investors Service last week chopped Kansas’s bond rating from Aa1 to Aa2, its third-highest rating. The change came after state budget officials said tax revenues had dropped 45 percent from a year ago; so far this year, Kansas has taken in nearly half a billion dollars less than it did in the last fiscal year"

That's purposely misleading.

That's patently false.

Moodys is known for making rash decisions based off of unfounded info.

Moody's... What's in a name?  Apparently, quite a lot, says this casual observer.
