No, I am not referring to Thomas Frank’s famous book with the same title. Frank was clearly opposed to Kansas becoming a red state.
That being said, I, like so many others a few years back went from blue to red – from Democrat liberalism to Republican conservatism. What caused us to change? There’s a simple answer to that question. We decided to do our voting based on the facts, not emotion. It’s that simple.
Unfortunately for this country, the Democrat Party has succeeded in capturing a lot of votes based on propaganda that has no factual basis. Media, which is largely liberal, is complicit in that propaganda. As a voter Nov. 4, don’t be taken in by half truths! I am appalled at some of the current ads that completely distort the truth. Buyer beware!
Republicans are not racist. And no they are not bigots nor homophobes. A good case can be made for all the “hate America” coming from the other side.
Reps are for the rich and Dems for the poor is an oxymoron. Under Democrat Obama the rich have become richer and the poor poorer, especially in the black community. The war on poverty of the FDR era as compared to today has shown no success with the percentage in poverty remaining the same. Buying votes with taxpayer money through welfare hasn’t really helped get the poor out of poverty. Good jobs that are not being created by this admin gets people out of poverty and all those part time jobs unrealistically bringing down unemployment numbers don’t help.
The Dem propaganda of Reps having a war on women is ludicrous. Let’s not forget, half of the 50 some million babies aborted since Roe vs. Wade by liberal pro choicers are probably female. Did you know that in the Obama administration women are not paid the same as men and that includes for the same job.
What about Kansans? If voters look at the facts, the Brownback and Roberts re-election should be a landside, not even close. What are some Kansans thinking? It is my understanding that states with a Republican governor (and there are presently 29 of them) are doing much better fiscally, with job creation and with taxes than states with a Democrat governor.
Barack Obama’s approval poll numbers are in the tank. Three fourths of the people polled say this country is headed in the wrong direction and it’s all about liberal agendas. There is one scandal after another, ISIS and Ebola the latest. Our economy is not improving, if it is, it’s at a snail’s pace. The unemployment figures put out by our government are a joke. The real number is 10% or above.
Kansans need to get real. Paul Davis and Greg Orman are liberals. That’s how they have voted in the past and that’s whom they have contributed to in the past. Orman running as an Independent is one of those half truths. He’s a liberal Democrat who will vote Democrat in the U.S. Senate if elected. With Kansas being primarily a red state he knew he could not win as a Democrat. What he says he will do in D.C. and what he will actually do can be two different things. Pat Roberts has a record to prove how he will vote. Now is not the time to push for term limits!
Ironically, Democrats up for re-election across the country do not want to be seen with Obama as they campaign, even though they voted with him on everything. If re-elected, nothing will change when they vote again – same old, same old.
Liberalism has a six year record nationally of not working under Obama. It will not work in Kansas either. The proof is there for all fair-minded and informed voters to see. If “hope and change” was ever needed, this is it!
Many are claiming this election may be our last chance to get back on the right track. Your vote could make or break this country for years to come. Please be a responsible voter! God bless America!
