You have to factor in the free publicity the rats get. Every single night, on the local news...and in the short news updates on the radio, we are given a small dose of anti-Brownback propaganda. Every single day, we are given subtle hints that Brownback is borderline evil.
Unless you are paying attention, it can add up in a person’s mind.
Add to it that he in particular has ticked off the teachers. And the teachers complain to their students...and the students complain to their parents...and when the parents meet the teachers, the teachers complain directly to the parents.
He’s become quite a boogeyman...makes me somewhat optimistic about Kansas voters that at least half of us see through the white noise.
What did Brownback do to anger the teachers in the state?
Exactly what we get in WI with Gov Walker’s enemies. The left is devious as they will try to attack from the right, using old, old tricks. Complaints that the economy isn’t good enough is their favored approach - you just have to step back while you look for something to punch. Nothing the dummies offer is real - it is all pie-in-the-sky. They screw up everything they touch.
You've hit one of my pet peeves. The biggest am Talker in the area is WOOD AM in Grand Rapids. They carry Beck, Rush, Hannity, etc. But every half hour, they give us an injection of left wing opium. Don't they know who their audience is? I always turn of the radio at the top and bottom of the hour and don't miss a thing.
