Brownback's Political Explanation for Supporting Kathleen Sebelius

If it is Obama's pick anyway (one of his rationales) how does supporting Sebelius help get her out of Kansas? I don't think Obama is too worried about offending pro-life folks at this point. Brownback's endorsement does hurt the cause on the otherhand.

Doesn't make much difference. Kansas is a red state, and I don't see it changeing. But, if the republicans keep tearing each other up, and keep relying on Rush as a leader-----That might change. Kansas people are down to earth people. A lot of common sense farmers their. Not likely they would have much to do with Rush at all. Now they have Steele heading the GOP an him trying to sound hip,hop-------that puts the party even harder to swallow. Than you have jindal pushed out there and wasn't ready for the national stage either, and he absolutely turned of Republicans all together. My family jumped the republican sinking ship way back when Mccain used Palin, simply because she was femal. Kind of like they used steele for his blackness, and Jindal because he has a immigration story like Obama's. This is how sad the republilcan party has gotten for us. Every day they make a fool of themself, against the budget and claim it's because of pork. But they have billions of pork in it like Utah's Politician who want millions for cricket research. Then this budget was done under Bush watch last yr, and their so dishones they try to make it Obama's Budget. It was them who hashed it out with the Dem's last yr, and helped put in the pork! But now they have to find whatever they can to call Obama out on/ Dem's! It's a free fall in washington and it's not Obama or the Dem's created it. They simply don't understand that this is what the American people are looking at! Even us republicans who voted Dem last election. They won'lt get us back if this is the direction they keep going in. The African/American are not going to follow that idiot steele! Jindal has let the GOP push him out there to soon and not ready, and he looks uneducated and poorly suited. Than of all the stupid things do you think the hard core, religouse republicans are going to listen to Newt again after cheating on his wife, Rush who's a druged out radio show host, and ann Colter who just plain makes little sense to the normal republican. There only hope is to work with this president, brag about how pardisen they are for the better of America, and been seen as wanting america to succeed and not Fail---as so many of them has come out and said! It's time for a new stradegy and a new direction if they want to keep the republicans seated in 2010 an have any hopes in 2012 or 16! For goodness sake stop being the NO party, and be seen as work Bi-pardison and soon. Believe me at this speed if Obama fails, it will look like the republicans caused his failure and not himself or the Demacratic party! Don't believe me? Get down in these red state farm community's an the americans who's loseing their jobs,homes an fear the economy, and ask them who was to blame and who is hurting the recovery more than helping it. my family was over 300 republicans strong, It is now over 300 Demacrate strong, untill the party finds a new direction and start hellping us all. Not a grand old party now-Tired,Old,worn out,badideas

Now I've really heard everything. Sam is running for Gov in a state that elected Kathleen Sebelius twice. He wants her voters and is trying to move to the center. Its political pure and simple but he has misjudged and angered his base. Not smart. He needed to mend rifts (amnesty, pushing McCain, missing so many votes to run for President) and instead he makes it even harder to support him.

Kathleen will do more damage as Sec than any democratic senator could do. Watch for FOCA buried in health reform, goodbye common sense restraint--hello nationalized Geo Tiller. KS problem has now become not just America's problem, but the worlds.
