The Democrats have ALREADY scored a victory of sorts in KS.

They have forced the Republicans to commit resources in state which should be slam dunk for them.

I do think that in the end cooler heads will prevail as Kansans realize that the alternatives to Brownback and Roberts are not acceptable to their values and beliefs.

Yeah, so Orman will get in and fight hard to reverse what Brownback has done.

Not such smart thinking.

Just not Roberts.

Yup, because getting 0% of what you want is so much better than getting 50%.

The left are fit to be tied by what Brownback has done in Kansas and they intend to undo it. They are being helped by many conservatives, including some very misguided ones on this forum.

I've always liked Brownback and still do. This is a shame. The fact that this will not affect the Senate race and that the same "bunch" is not going after Roberts, just Brownback, tells me that they must be pleased with "their" Senator.

what's the best way for us to rebut this? By June of 2014, the results of Brownback’s economic reforms began to come in, and they weren’t pretty. During the first fiscal year that his plan was in operation, which ended in June, the tax cuts had produced a staggering loss in revenue—$687.9 million, or 10.84 percent. According to the nonpartisan Kansas Legislative Research Department, the state risks running deficits through fiscal year 2019. Moody’s downgraded the state’s credit rating from AA1 to AA2; Standard & Poor’s followed suit, which will increase the state’s borrowing costs and further enlarge its deficit.

If you come up with an answer I'm sure the Brownback campaign committee would love to hear it.

Every time I read about these various groups and individuals going after Brownback, they NEVER mention Pat Roberts. Pat Roberts name is nowhere in this article. If what you say was true this article would be about Brownback AND Roberts; but, not so. That’s where I “got that idea”.

The article is about Brownback and written by a flaming socialist. You might want to be more careful reaching conclusions

GOOD GRIEF Centurion!!! What is wrong with you? I was just expressing my observation that whenever I read of the tactics being used by certain groups to defeat Brownback, that Pat Roberts is never mentioned. That leads me to believe the liberal group(s) trying to oust Brownback are not going after Roberts.

Why do you always have to be so mean-spirited and nasty? You must be a horrible person to live with.

Not trying to be mean sprited, but you seem to be quite adamant that there is no connection. There are plenty of articles out there, many of them posted on this forum that would lead you to a very different opinion. If you get a chance, get some of them a look.

The Left and the Democrats are trying to sell a very false story that Greg Orman is just a grass roots Independent with no connection to anything that the Democrats are doing. He’s just going to be a Jimmy Stewart going to Washington to help get things done. It’s all a lie and you shouldn’t fall for it. This whole operation is being planned and executed by a small group of Kansans with help from Claire McCaskill. The usual Leftie suspects have their fingerprints all over both races.

regardless of which groups is involved, it’d be good if we can get facts to show that either

1) the touted “hell” that brownback allegedly created in the article is NOT true

or

2) the negative effects are NOT the result of his policies

so you’re saying he should’ve cut some other part of the budget?

Bump!!!

Rats want Orman and Davis, RINOs want Orman and Davis. Conservatives should want Roberts and Brownback to ream them, period.
