Super Tuesday Results

Super Tuesday voting is over and the votes are being counted. It’s funny how the delegates make the election. Only 1% of the votes are counted yet, candidates win. Why do we bother to vote? I’m starting to feel the way many Americans feel.

What The Fuck Democrats?

I’m truly afraid for my children. This election is going to ensure a psycho like Donald Trump ends up in the oval office. I will always vote Democrat, but I’m ashamed of my fellow liberals right now who refuse to. Donald Trump winning this election will result in eventual mass hysteria.

So Bernie supporters won’t vote for Hillary if she wins the Primary. Hillary supporters won’t vote for Bernie if he wins the election. Really people? You need to compromise, Hillary and Bernie would BOTH be better than any Republican candidate running. Let’s not act like the Republicans, we’re all adults behave accordingly.

As much as I support Bernie and believe in him. I know Hillary will do a better job than any Republican. Sure, she has more sponsors than a Nascar Driver, as bad as I know she will be for our country, she will not be  any worse than Donald Trump or God forbid Ted Cruz.

If a Democrat does not win the Presidential Election, say goodbye to many programs that are vital to our country. They will defund planned parenthood, reverse gay marriage, reverse Rowe Vs Wade, cut food stamps, cut medicare, basically cut anything that helps people. I still can’t understand how anyone like that can consider themselves pro-life. They are SO not pro-life, the death penalty is something they love. They are pro-birth with no care or thought of the quality of life after birth. That is not pro-life, that’s the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen.

I know I can’t change everyone’s mind on voting or not voting for someone. Hopefully, I get through to one person and it would be worth the time. We vote for what we want, many people are afraid of Bernies proposed policies, as many are afraid of Clintons. 

Bernie scares Clinton supporters with his  “Socialism” talk. Sanders is not trying to make the US a Communist country. He wants to add to current programs in place. When Bernie says he’s a Democratic Socialist, he is basically saying he agrees with social programs which are already in place. Social programs consist of things like The US Mail Service, Police Departments, Fire Departments, roads, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.  He want’s to give everyone free healthcare, he wants everyone to have the opportunity to go to college without massive student loans. How is this a bad thing? He never mentions taxing to pay for this. He’s going to be like Robin Hood, taking from the rich (Wall Street) and giving to the poor (everyone else).

Hillary scares Bernie supporters because of her record, her lies, and her flip flops from only 8 years ago. Hillary is a typical politician, she lies, cheats, and I’m sure steals to get what she wants. I do not care for her, but that doesn’t mean I won’t vote for her. As much as I like the idea of telling the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) to go fuck themselves and vote for Trump, I will NEVER do that. I refuse to act like a Republican baby if I don’t get my way. That’s what they want, they want the pissed off Democrats. Why do you think Trump is running? He doesn’t need the power or the money. Hillary may lie, but she will be better for our country than any Republican running for President.

If you choose not to vote at all, don’t bitch about politics, because you only did it to yourself. Please wake up Democrats! Vote Democrat no matter what! This election is extremely important. A republican win means we go back in time. They will make this country look like 1950 again. I guarantee it. A woman especially has the most to lose with a Republican win.

6 Things Donald Trump And My 10 Year Old Have In Common.

They're both Assholes

My six-year-old can be a little asshole with her talking back and bitchy little ways.

Shut up you little loser, that's why no one likes you or talks to you.

-10 year old talking to 6 year old sister.

Donald Trump is an asshole on a daily basis.

You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.

- Donald Trump

Think They're Superior

My 10-year-old is a gymnast and thinks she's better than everyone else.

I can beat everyone on the vault, I'm better than the older girls too. -10 year old.

Trump thinks he's better than everyone, superior in every way. He is running for President, I guess that's a good example.

Sorry losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.

-Donald Trump.

They're both Racist.

I wouldn't say my daughter is racist, she's observant. Close enough.

Mom, why am I the only white person? - 10 year old.

Donald Trump makes racist statements it seems every interview he does.

A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that…I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage. -Donald Trump

They're extremely Bossy.

My 10-year-old loves to boss her sisters around, she treats my youngest like a slave.

Go get my blanket, tablet, and pillow from my room.

- 10 year old

Donny is obviously bossy, he is a boss and always telling people what to do.

They can go fuck themselves. -Donald Trump

They're both Liars

My daughter lies constantly and she's extremely bad at it.

I did all my homework for the week. - 10 year old lie.

Since the campaign trail began for Donald Trump it has been found he is truthful only 1% of the time.

"Don't believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number's probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent."

-Donald Trump

They act like Babies

My little girl whines, she pouts, she cries, and she freaks out for very little reason at all.

I HATE EVERYONE!

-10 year old as she's slamming her door.

Trumpy likes to act like a child and has done so in public on several occasions.

Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against Bill Maher for making fun of his father.

The similarities are astounding, it brings me to one conclusion. Donald Trump is a child.

Good Times Voting In Texas

I always feel odd voting Democrat during a Primary here in West Texas. This time was no different. The one old lady (there were 5 old ladies) asked which party I was voting for, I said "Democrat" the women there all looked at me a little funny and they handed me a code and the "I voted today" sticker.

I went to the polling booth, enter my number, I clearly see Ted Cruz on my ballot. I stepped back and said, "Um, excuse me. I have a Republican ballot, I wanted the Democrat ballot." One of the women stepped back and said, "You want what?" She looked absolutely appalled. Every other person there agreed they heard me say, Democrat. After a few minutes, they fixed their mistake and off I went to my ballot.

I prefer to vote early if possible. I'd much rather deal with a few people giving my dirty liberal ass dirty looks than 40 of them. Not that it bothers me all that much. You would think it would, but I've never been one to really worry about what others think.

The last primary election I voted there was a little old man that looked like he wanted to beat me with his cane. I'm really lucky to be alive here. It's not a real nice place to live, not at all. It is an oil town, so I suppose it's to be expected.

After looking into the Democratic party a little further in my area, I have found that there are only around 50 members that participate in events. It turns out that Texas is one of the worst voting states, we rank 47 in voter turn-out.

2015 - NOVEMBER (CONSTITUTIONAL)
Registered Voters	13,988,920
Voting Age Population (VAP)	19,110,272
Percentage of VAP Registered	73.20%
Turnout	1,585,845
Percent of Turnout to Registered	11.34%
Percent of Turnout to VAP	8.30%

Texas Voter Turnout 2015 Election

The problem seems to most of the voters that show up for the election are Republican. So....we are a red state, I blame ignorance. The education does absolutely suck here and I say that from the heart.

I'll continue to do my part and continue to vote, going to volunteer even, look at me doing shit. The people of Texas bitch the most about government, yet the majority does not even vote. You can't bitch if you don't vote I'm going to start calling people on it.

GET OUT AND VOTE TEXAS!

Murder by Pain Killer.

Posted on February 11, 2016

Doctors are quick to write you a prescription for pain killers, but not so quick to help with the underlying problem. Are the days of quality medical care over? Going to the doctor is a chore to begin with, you fill out a stack of paperwork, sit and wait for more than an hour, and for what? To get a drug that has horrid side effects and does nothing to improve your problem. Many will argue that they need pain medication or they are in agony without them. Some may need these pain medications, but they should not be needed for 20 years. There is a problem when multiple doctors can not control your pain without meds for that period of time. There are also alternative natural ways to treat pain.

In 2011 nearly 17,000 people died of pain medication related deaths. It jumped to almost 25,000 in 2014. The Center for Disease Control has called it an epidemic. The main culprit of this is doctors. You can not get these medications without a doctors signature. Be aware there are street drug dealers that also sell these particular medications, but again the script came from a doctor somewhere.

The 2016 Presidential election is in full swing unfortunately not one candidate on either side has even mentioned this nationwide epidemic. Granted the United States has more than one problem at this time but, his is a major problem that needs to be addressed with people being held accountable for their actions. It starts with the drug companies, politicians, doctors, and even patients. The drug companies push their products on the doctors, the politicians have stock in drug companies and pass over legislation that could help the problem. Moving on to the doctors that push the pills like a drug dealer, to the patient that begs for their “fix”. The cycle goes on and there are ways to stop it.

Drugs like vicodin, codine, morphine, as well as several others have extreme side effects, some may not be aware of. The list of common side effects is extremely long for the majority of pain medication on the market. The common side effects are very serious. Taking with alcohol, prolong use, or taking one too many can and will be deadly. You’re probably wondering why a doctor knowing this would prescribe something like this to his patients.

With any profession there are good and there are bad, three types of doctors are causing this epidemic.

The Cash Doctor.

Doctors in all parts of the country will give you any script you would like for a price. Doctors such as these usually do not accept insurance and want cash for your visit. These doctors are no better than a street drug dealer. They will ask you what you want and tell you to pay before you leave. These doctors will not bother to examine you they just write the script and send you on your way. Some of these doctors are being investigated or have been and some are not.

The Money Doctor.

This healthcare professional went to medical school, because of the pay check not because they care. Not only do they not care about you but they do not care about quality of healthcare they’re providing. Typically this physician makes you feel like cattle. Their philosophy is to be quick and get them in and out as fast as possible, after-all the more patients you see the more money you’re making. You will know if you are seeing one of these doctors by their mannerism. If the doctor is not listening to you, paying attention, or looks like he/she would rather be somewhere else, chances are you are at the Money Doctors office.

The Uncaring Doctor

Technically everyone of these doctors obviously does not care about you. This doctor in particular is usually close to the retirement age. They may have once cared, but it is clear they no longer do. They typically will give you a band-aid for any problem you are having just to hurry you out the door. Very similar to the money doctor, but this doctor will also be rude as well. Generally the uncaring doctor will push pills down your throat to shut you up. If you’ve been seeing this doctor for months and he/she doesn’t remember you chances are you’re at the uncaring doctor. These doctors sound harmless, but in actuality can be the most detrimental. They may give you something that counter reacts to your current medications which could end up severely injuring you. This doctor can also be oblivious to very apparent symptoms you may be having. When in doubt always get a second opinion.

The doctors are not the only ones at fault for this epidemic, drug companies are a main contributor. Pharmaceutical lobbying is the highest funding in Washington. They pay big bucks to be heard by our US Senators and Representatives. A Lobbyist will stop at nothing to get what he wants. In general if the Pharmaceutical company is having an issue with getting approved by the FDA, it’s nothing a little money wont cure.

Pharmaceutical Rsrch & Mfrs of America    $18,445,000

Amgen Inc    $10,525,000

Pfizer Inc    $9,400,000

Biotechnology Industry Organization    $8,350,000

Bayer AG    $7,650,000

Eli Lilly & Co    $7,165,000

Novartis AG    $6,717,500

Johnson & Johnson    $6,350,000

Sanofi    $5,899,000

Roche Holdings    $5,677,320

Merck & Co    $5,650,000

AbbVie Inc    $5,220,000

These are the top companies in 2015 that lobbied in Washington, essentially spending this money to bribe a politician to vote a certain way to benefit their profit margin.

Sure, doctors prescribe these pharmaceuticals but Washington feeds into it. Some pain killers would not be on the market if it wasn’t for the politicians allowing it to happen. It all stems down to our government.

If this continues, we will continue to get poor healthcare. If my arm is broken in 8 places and I undergo surgery, and continue to feel pain. The hope is the doctor finds the problem and fixes it. I would rather have 5 surgeries than take pain medication as a temporary solution rather than a permanent one. The choice is yours, if you value healthcare, if you value your life and others around you. Call your local representative, shoot him/her an e-mail. Let your voice be heard. This is our country, they claim we’re free. Even if you feel strongly about something not pertaining to this at all. This is what your representative is there for, he/she is there to act as your voice.

If you want quality healthcare I recommend you shop around. Some doctors do care and are willing to try whatever is best for you and your health. Below are a few natural pain killing remedies, there are many more you can find online.
