Apropos of the post below, Esquire.com's Charles P. Pierce has this to say about the election of ultra right-wing Matt Bevin be Governor of Kentucky and the terrible impact it will have on the health of hundreds of thousands of Kentuckians:
"Make no mistake. Kentuckians voted to decimate a popular health-care system, and to make Kentucky a right to work state last night. They did so because Bevin mobilized the Kim Davis vote and spread enough Jeebus around that people (again) voted against their own best interests. (Also, it should be noted that Bevin plans to throw responsibility for the poor and the sick onto the rest of us. You're welcome, dickhead.) If your outrage over the treatment of a crackpot goldbricking county clerk outweighs the possibility that your aging grandmother is going to die of a treatable illness then, well, I don't know what to say to you except good luck and enjoy your freedom."(emphasis added)For the Kim Davis voters, we would also add, "pray you don't get sick."
