Altruistic yet sinister. For all the good they do the brothers Koch political aspirations are vexing, almost maniacal. I wonder what they want in return?
“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”
You don't appear to understand the meaning of the expression "sour grapes". It comes from one of Aesop's' fables. A fox, after trying and trying to reach a bunch of delicious- looking grapes gives up and says "well they were probably sour anyway".
That does to apply here at all. I would prefer it had gone the other way.

285 of them were attempts to repeal Obamacare. Now that it is a huge success they are mooted. The rest were tax cuts for the Koch brothers and bills to deport more children.

Minimum wage increases passed in: Alaska, Arkansas, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota. "Personhood" failed in Colorado. Mandatory prescription birth control coverage passed in Illinois, and paid sick time was passed in Massachusetts.
Yeah, the mob has finally figured out they can vote themselves money. (The personhood thing seems rather silly to me; probably deserved to fail).
Sorry I'm grumpy because the local library additional levy didn't pass

Been there done that MGM. That's why I'm elected library trustee in my town, to be sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe you should run if there's an equivalent position in your town. I bet there's no natural born citizen requirement…

Jeremiah (31:29) and Ezekiel (18:2) (KJV): "The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge."
“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.”

Guin, I believe Meade is referring to oldr's sourced breakdown of the bills that were passed, (which quite effectively refutes rube's post) not rube's post.
All I found was this: The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare. With some of the bills having passed through the Senate and signed by the President. So there's probably not a whole lot of Obamacare bills sitting on Reid's desk.
