Kansas had an option.... they had a chance to elect a Republican in the Primary who would not have voted for Harry Reid. Now, they’re stuck with Pat Roberts who is gonna get his butt handed to him on Nov. 4.
You know Burt, you people slay me. Whenever someone presents anything that might take the shine off of your guy’s halo all you know to do is start screaming “troll”. From your screen name, I assume you’re a guy. Let me ask you this: If you were away from home 603 days out of every 700 days, what kind of relationship would you have with your wife and kids. You wouldn’t know their likes, their dislikes, their needs..... Hell, you probably wouldn’t even remember their names. Now tell me how a U.S. Senator who is not in-state 603 days out of 700 can be an “EFFECTIVE” representative of the people of that State. I’ll be waiting for you to answer that question.
No, I’ve seen this repeated over and over again on local social medias by the liberals. It’s seems they’ve gotten their marching orders to press this issue and you are doing the same here. It’s getting very old because it’s pretty much a non-issue when it comes to much more important things like defeating Harry Reid’s power in the Senate. I understand Roberts isn’t perfect, no politician is, but I guarantee you so many in this country would like to have a conservative politician like Roberts in their states. It’s not worth ridding of him in order to put a far left liberal that will side with Harry Reid and 0bama. There is no way in hell you are going to convince me otherwise.
Believe me, I took a very serious look at Wolf in the primaries. I concluded he was not a very good candidate once I waded through all the garbage and he was not. Orman is turning out to be a much worse candidate.
Roberts can toe the conservative line until we find someone younger that fits the bill or Roberts retires. I can live with that. I cannot live with allowing Dingy Harry Reid and 0bama getting their way and destroying this country further. It’s really that simple.

Though it should be up to states to determine who is eligible to represent them in Congress, Congress is full of carpet baggers. Look no further than Hillary who never lived a day in New York until she became their Senator. Al Franken may have lived in Minneapolis decades ago, but spent most of his time in Holywood and I doubt has any real residence in Minnesota to this day. I fail to see how a state can be adequately represented in Congress by people who don't live in the state.
“I can live with that. I cannot live with allowing Dingy Harry Reid and 0bama getting their way and destroying this country further. Its really that simple.”
THAT was the most important point made on this entire thread.
Nonsense. A commie Dem is a thousand times worse than a 84 ACU rated Senator who kept Guantanamo prisoners from being sent to Leavenworth and votes correctly a vast majority of the time.
What on earth are you smoking?
That ship sailed with Bobby Kennedy.
I was just pointing out if the other guy wins you could have a real Democrat in Kansas!! I have questions about both. I do believe that Roberts needs to go but I don’t know enough about the independent!!
Funny, I could certainly say the exact same thing to you.
Ever heard of the newfangled contraption they're calling the Telephone. I am glad our senator has not been racking up travel expenses as Pilosi is doing.
Seriously? Who cares!

O.K., your points are well taken, CG. Thank you for being one of the few persons around here who offers sound, reasonable and sensible arguments for your case. So many people just know how to start calling you names like “troll”. And......
FWIW, I don’t think Roberts is gonna lose. I think he will pull it out with a plurality, not a majority. He couldn’t even break 50 percent in the GOP Primary; and he’s currently polling at 38 percent. Have to wait and see. Anything can happen in the next 39 days.
I fail to see how a state can be adequately represented in Congress by people who don’t live in the state.

THANK YOU!!!
Hey, we failed in the primary, where you’re supposed to address issues with your candidates,
but now it’s time to vote against the ‘rats.
That means voting for Roberts - holding my nose.
What on earth are you smoking?

Not sayin’. And I’m not sharing with you; so don’t even ask. LQTM.
A lot of people don’t realize that we are going to win enough races to take the Senate, EVEN IF ROBERTS AND COCHRAN (MS) LOSE. I guarantee it. We can afford to lose a couple of seats and still have a majority. Somebody has just got to start standing up and saying to the GOP RINO Elite: “Enough is enough. You have accused, abused and used your Conservative Base for the last time.”
The unmitigated gall of Mitch McConnell, who hates the Tea Party, to tell the Conservatives of the GOP that he will “crush” them wherever he finds them. Now, the C-Base is not sending a dime to the RNC and he and Karl Rove are bouncing off the walls saying: “Come on Conservatives; give us some money and your vote. Let’s all kiss and make-up.” No freakin’ way. I’ll tell Mitch and Karl what they can kiss.
The thing about Hillary Clinton and Bobby Kennedy carpetbagging New York is this: They bought homes and made that their legal state of residence. Pat has declared in legal documents that VA is his legal residence. So, whassup?
That means voting for Roberts - holding my nose.

I just talked with Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell and told them that they could count on you in Kansas. They said they already knew that they could. They ask that you talk as many Kansans as you can into holding their nose and voting for their boy as well. And, all those things they said about crushing you and other Conservatives: They said they’re sorry.
LOL..... Messin’ with you Mr. B. I know you’re in a quandry. Is there a Libertarian who is relatively Conservative you can vote for? Do me a favor and check out my Post #35 on this thread.
Rules are for little people rarely applied to any democrat great or small.
No; sorry, I don’t remember the incident with the FL Congressman.
