Considering how completely useless most of the Senate is, I support all of them living unemployed for the rest of their lives! Democrats and Republicans.

I have written to Brownback's office at least 6-7 times on various issues since he has been in the Senate. However, I have only received one reply!!! In my opinion, he will NOT make a good governor for Kansas.

I grew up in Topeka, and my brother was on Sam's son's soccer team for several years, so I know Sam is a good man. BUT…I also know that he is an awful Senator who tried his best but as the old adage goes; 'power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'. I can't imagine Sam getting elected Governor of Kansas. Would he do a DECENT job (I use that term very loosely), maaaybe.
As for KansasTwister, I know that I have written Sam's office numerous times, often without referencing my brothers relation to Andy, his son, and have gotten back a fairly quick response. Boyda on the other hand………..Don't get me started.

Sam would make a good governor depending on what one thinks “good” is. If you think going to bed with the Koch empire is good? If you think teaching creationism is good? If you would like see Kansas take a giant step into the dark ages is good? About the only elected position Sam could do well at is dog catcher. After monitoring Mr. Brownbacks performance in the Senate I can only think of people relating him to Kansas by his Wizard of Oz attributes of “if I only I had a brain.”

Yeah just what this state needs, a religious zealot as leader. Perhaps we should just break away from the union and declare theocratic rule - the difference between that and a Brownback governorship would be minimal.

KansasTwister,
Don't sweat the mail thing. My mother has written to Boyda at least three times this year alone and has yet to receive a reply.

I certainly don't want yet another nut case who, if allowed, would establish a christian theocracy in Kansas. The republicans tried running just such a candidate against Kathleen and look where that got them.

I read a note written by the button on one of those hot air hand blow dryers in the truck-stop outside of Topeka that sums it up for me:
“Stand by for a message from Senator Brownback”
Another backwoods D.C. wind-bag is definitely NOT what KS needs.

Mackadoo, that was funny. If they couldn't do “he-ll no”, then maybe an option for “when hell freezes over?”

But good ol' Sam will wash your feet before ye leave Kansas!
Thank you very much! That will be $100,000, your car keys, stock portfolio, bank account numbers, and the deed to your land.
Um, um, um, because these are today's prices, based on market, uh, victuals. Yeh suh, victuals : )

Yeah…Brownback will make a good governor the same way Palin and McSame would make a good Pres and VP.
Is this question a joke?

I guess he would be great at anything if he had been mayor of Cawker City. Maybe he would have been VP material.

Fred Phelps would be a better governor than Brownback. 99.99% of Kansans can tell that Pfred is barking mad. Only around 75% can discern the same thing about Brownback.

I find it funny that Brokeback continues to want to “serve” the people.
Since he so eloquently espouses “family” values how about coming home to Kansas and doing your family duty?
