13. In Kansas.... IDIOT Gov. Brownback only won by 30k votes last time...

If ALL Dems would have got off their ASSESS and voted instead of just thinking it was an automatic for Brokeback we wouldn't have the massive financial problems we have today. Sen Pat Roberts won last time at about mid night,just about got beat. You could tell at his election "party" he was visably shaken--didn't show up until about mid night. He's been a Senator since the Sphinx was built.

While there were some Dems elected to the Kansas Legislature last Nov many hard liner NEO CONS were KICKED OUT. Yeah...many Rep were elected but not with the same scorched Earth plan like Trump and his ilk like Brownback.

It's hard around here for good leadership but not impossible. Things have turned somewhat.
