Now, the New York Times points out there is a revolt bubbling from some of the unlikeliest of placesKansas Republicans like Konrad Hastings, who has declared he will vote for a Democrat for the first time this fall:
"Hes leading Kansas down, said Mr. Hastings, 68, who said he voted for Mr. Brownback four years ago, when he easily won his first term. Were going to be bankrupt in two or three years if we keep going his way."
And Hastings isn't alone:
Even some of Kansas staunchest Republicans have found some of these measures to be too far to the right. More than 100 current and former Republican elected officials have endorsed Mr. Davis.

Didn't listen when we tried to warn you. WOULDN'T listen when we tried to warn you. You like that stale, moldy, bug-infested warmed-over reagan crap that those in the real world rejected the first time it came around - but I'm sure you remember it differently.
Way to go, brownback! Stunk up the joint too bad even for some of your own. When you suck with KANSAS republi-CONS, you really and truly and UTTERLY suck.
