What a retard. I think he can kiss any aspirations for higher office goodbye.
For higher office he should vote “present”.
Baby Brains is People, MS KS CRUEL GOV.
This is disgusting. Senator Brownback has presented himself a principled, anti-abortion conservative.
Sebelius isn’t just a wishy-washy, pro-choice woman. She is an abortion extremist activist. And for Sen. Brownback to support her is a betrayal.
Sam still thinks he's presidential material. That's why he's leaving the Senate and running for Kansas governor.
See post #14. I think he did that when he decided that the interests of illegal aliens were more important than those of American citizens.
Less than 20% of the population cares very much at all about the abortion issue.
I care deeply, but I am humble enough to realize that the general public does not care.
Let our Conservative politicians makes a few PR calls and judgment calls.
It is good for Kansas to get rid of Sebelius, as Governor.
It is bad for Tiller, who sends tons of money to pro abortion politicians, nationwide.
Do not ask our leaders to shoot themselves in the foot.
Learn to play smart, and play to win.
Please stop it with the circular firing squads. When Brownback runs against an Obama or a Sebelius, we need the 80% that doesn't give one whit about abortion to consider Brownback as a reasonable candidate.
Politically, Brownback could be playing this perfectly. Sebelius is popular in Kansas with moderate Republicans whom Brownback needs in the 2010 election. Let someone else bring up the Tiller connections and then Brownback can change his mind. Brownback should try and stay above the fray in this situation. That way Brownback avoids appearing to be a knee-jerk partisan while being principled enough to change his publicly-stated stance when the evidence requires it. A properly-timed reversal of his opinion would maximize the damage done to Sebelius and really highlight the charges being leveled against her.
Let's let this whole confirmation process play out before we judge. I have disagreed with Brownback before but I've never questioned his commitment to the pro-life movement.
if Brownback votes to confirm I will never support him again for even dogcatcher
