AND THE CONSERVATIVE RESPONSE:
Posted on 08/27/2014 7:38:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
My message is "If you want to be a liberal, become a Democrat, like Charlie Crist did."
My message is that I am coming to get you before the election. I will hollow out your support locally before you even start to run your lying ads.
The dems get their agenda passed even with a liberal republican majority. McConnell has already proved that.
I don’t want the liberal republicans to have control of the senate, that would just give them cover to enact the liberal agenda McConnell and Cornyn have proven they support.

You are correct, changes at the local level will have two effects:
1) Left leaning party leadership will be replaced by conservatives who will see to it that state and national level office nominees are conservatives.
2) Those politics who bend which ever way the wind blows will suddenly discovers their conservative principles.
Either way, the party moves right. The Democrat Party will never move right.
Not only that we are in touch with other districts and will move from the local level up the chain till we take the state back from the rino’s. It will be a long hard fight but it must be done.
We have the people and they have the money. I feel we will eventually win because no one believes the ads anymore put out by the current incumbents. Everyone tends to trust their friends. It is just a matter of time before they lose is the way I see it. As long as we put in the time and efforts it is ours for the taking.
I support Brownback and I am certain he will win. Otherwise, he get a Obamaite at the helm who will do everything to undo the state. Up to you Kansas. I am voting Brownback. He is a good guy in my book. That HotAir is repeating leftist lies is proof the site is not that great. Only leftist sources have been claiming Brownback will lose if you Google him. As Rush said today, the left is burying everything and anything that makes republicans look good in mid-terms.
KSN, KCTV, Topeka Capitol Journal, Kansas City Star, Wichita Eagle, and so on are all liberal sources. They are committed to prove that Brownback will lose and that Kansas will go left-wing. There is much liberal dislike in Kansas for Brownback for some tax cuts and some of his polices. All the leftist cities have been blabbing junk about him.
I’m voting for the independent candidate for senate. I don’t dislike Roberts, but I was for Wolf. It is my protest vote for Mississippi and for the GOP establishment being too wacky and not supporting Ted Cruz’s attempt to repeal Obamacare in September and October 2013.
I get 3-4 emails A DAY from GOPe groups saying basically: this can’t be right you haven’t donated to us etc. And how much they need my help to keep from losing previously safe seats etc.
They should have listened when they called the last two election cycles and I/we told them our money was going to TP and directly to candidates but not to the pub party.
The only comeback they seemed to have was but at least we can hold the line until things get better. Told them that they weren’t even doing that anymore. And no I was not making even a token $10 donation to the RNC etc.
Despite many of us telling them for years - instead of taking us seriously, this year they double down and pull a Thad Cochran, trash Cruz every time they can etc. . You would think they wouldn’t want to offend us since we were already so p!ssed but apparently that wasn’t important.
You gotta wonder if their campaign managers etc. are really dim plants.
If only blacks could finally be fed up with the Plantation Overseers in their party too.
I agree with your view. Kansas is a moderately conservative state. My former state of residence, Idaho, is a conservative state.
What makes for unpredictability here in Kansas is the uneasy truce between the economic conservatives and the social conservatives. A lot of economic conservatives are embarrassed by their social conservative colleagues and will jump ship to support a Democrat whose economic views are not too wacky because of the social issues. I think that backlash against social conservatism is what is hurting Brownback right now. Several economic conservatives that I know applaud some of Brownback's actions but are still very cool toward him because of his linkage to the social conservative wing of the party. I think that most of them are looking for any reason that they can find to vote against him. I think Brownback is facing a serious challenge this election.
IMO Roberts is still suffering from the residency issue which he handled poorly. While I believe that Roberts could be improved upon, I wasn't convinced that Milton Wolfe was the one to do it. He struck me as too much of an opportunist and as someone who was too much of a blank slate. I wasn't going to vote against Roberts unless it was for a clear improvement. IMO, Roberts should win the general election.
Budget deficits and education spending.
Texas has no state income tax at all and the state is thriving.
Message to ALL KANSANS:
If you want to see what happens to a state when you put the Dems in charge of everything, please come visit my state of CA and do not limit your visit to just Disneyland, Universal, or SeaWorld.
I’m tired of all of this crap about RINOs. Brownback is a fine governor and it would be insane to put the Dems in charge there.
I tend to think that is mostly a fantasy propagated by people here that are angry that certain primary candidates lost, some loses, like Chris McDaniel, were most unfortunate. With others, like Joe Miller, Milton Wolf, Matt Bevin, we should thank our lucky stars those men weren't nominated, cause they'd be almost sure losers in November.
Most analysts have been downgrading rat chances to keep the Senate. Those mostly Republican states with competitive Senate races are gonna see high enough turnout to to demote Reid to Minoirty Leader, where he belongs.
As for what's wrong with Kansas, In addition to strong anti-Obama sentiment nationwide, there is also a good deal of nonpartisan anti-incumbent sentiment this election, in a state like Kansas were the GOP is incumbent, well there you go.
Brownback is unpopular for some reason and is effecting the whole ticket. And that idiot Wolf smeared the hell out a good Senator in Roberts, playing right into democrat hands, giving them their attack lines.
I feel strongly that Roberts will win, Brownback could go down though, I hope not. In any case Roberts having a close race says nothing about Republican Senate prospects in other states, it's simply an anomaly.
Thanks for your strong analysis of the KS political picture.
Remember those making the calls are low-paid help who don’t even know the candidates they are peddling.
Well, if I were a KS voter, I would go with Roberts. In TX, though I am sitting out Cornyn and would also sit out Graham in SC, Cochran in MS, and Lamar! in TN. These are all worse than Roberts.
Didn't Alf Landon used to ask a question like that, don't remember seeing the exact words. I think what's wrong with KS is similar to that of other states, just a desire for more federal gravy and more abortions.
Why KS hasn’t had a Democrat senator since the 1930s, it has elected many Democrat governors over the years.
