Ok, riddle me this.

Did Pat Roberts vote for Sebelius’s confirmation? Was he totally in the dark about her being close buddies with Tiller the Killer? What was the ‘special relationship’ that Roberts said he had with Sebelius, buddy of Tiller the Killer?

try to play chess instead of checkers.

Obama was going to appoint liberals, period.

Taking Sebelius out of Kansas gave us Brownback as governor and some of the toughest abortion laws in the country.

I don't know the answers to all of your questions ut I o know about the relationship between Senator Roberts and the Sebelius family and it is actually somewhat innocent. Roberts got his start in politics working as a staff aide to Kansas REPUBLICAN Congressman Keith Sebelius who was Kathleen Sebelius's father-in-law. Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius is a lifelong Democrat whose father John Gilligan was Ohio's Demonrat governor from 1971 to 1975. He enacted Ohio's first state income tax. IIRC, Roberts succeeded Keith Sebelius as a Congressman and was later elected to the Senate.

I'll take a stab at the other questions. Roberts via the Keith Sebelius connection, was likely socially friendly with Kathleen Sebelius and may well have voted for her confirmation as HHS Secretary. He certainly would have known she was close to Killer Tiller (a nationally known scandal) and he should have politely declined to vote for her confirmation as HHS Secretary. I do suspect that Roberts is solidly pro-life whenever the actual issue arises but that he may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer. He seems well worth supporting against Orman.

God bless you and yours!
