Republican freshman lawmakers in Kansas House undergo re-election briefing
The only way they can strengthen their position is to come up with bigger lies than their last ones and get the voters to believe those, also. They also need to throw a lot of that pixie dust out there to keep the middle class from realizing that everything they have done so far has kicked the middle class in the gut in order to glorify the rich.

Brownback concludes tour urging support of stable funding for higher education
Nobody likes to be blackmailed or unduly coerced into supporting a political position. That's exactly what Sam Brownback has done to college and university officials across Kansas. He has told them, in so many words, that the only way they can get the same dollars they got last year was to support raising the sales tax to prior levels. WHAT A LIE!!!!!!! He personally created the financial catastrophe for the state trying to look like a financial wizard that would propel him to the GOP presidential nomination the next go around. He must have failed economic history however as "trickle down" didn't work before and it won't work now. He has even admitted that he embarked Kansas on an experiment. To hell with his experiment. The guy is going to run off all the workers to other states as nothing will trickle down.
The very term "trickle down" is both obscene and a huge affront to the average worker. The way it is supposed to work is to give the rich so much money that it is hoped they will eventually hire more workers. But what we saw before when this was tried was the money went to buy a second Mercedes for the family or got invested in the stock market. No new jobs. The rich only got richer and the poor poorer.
Sam is finding out from more and more Kansans just where he can shove his experiment.

About 100 people rally against policies of Brownback and legislative majority
Kris Kobach is a liar. I challenge him to produce all his expense reimbursement forms and vacation leave forms since he has taken office. His appointment book would have to be included. He has taken vacation leave prior to earning it.

Brownback says higher sales tax needed in case state loses school finance lawsuit
Rolling back the unjust income tax savings for the rich ought to produce any needed funds.

Gov. Brownback says he'll attend President Obama's event in Lawrence if he's invited
I'll tell you what, Brownie. You may be governor but why ruin the perfect record the Kansas GOP politicians have established of doing EVERYTHING they could possibly do to embarrass, snub, attack and otherwise block the law of the land from being enforced in Kansas, just because the ideas for those laws came from a democrat.
Stay home so the lied to everyday Kansas republicans can keep their misguided heads held high. One day, I hope soon, Kansans will revolt and elect people who will represent everyone and put into place tax policies benefiting most citizens. Yes, the rich will have to pay more. So be it. This rape of the poor and middle class tax system you and your buds are installing will become more evident and your days are numbered as it sinks in to the voters what you are doing. Its a simple pocketbook issue that will bite your ass eventually.

Brownback wants to keep higher state sales tax; Democrats say that proves his income tax policy isn't working
Sen. Hensley is quite right. The solution is in the hands of the voters. Our only hope right now is for the average Kansas citizen to wake up and realize that Sam Brownback's tax ideas have blown the Kansas state budget to smithereens with unbelievable fiscal insanity. And, of course, we see some of the most selfish and greedy politicians on the planet in lockstep with him. They must be replaced. Surely some should be recalled. Their call for class warfare must be challenged.
People must realize that there was nothing wrong with Brownback's desire to eliminate the state income tax. The state's revenues have increased as Kansas has gradually moved out of the recession. If he had simply waited until now to incrementally start lowering tax rates then everything in the budget could have been properly funded. But, to ask the poor and middle class to step in and take over the income tax payments of Kansas' richest citizens was so egregious I'm surprised there have not been serious uprisings already.

"Why I Left the Republican Party" -- 03/16/13 at Lawrence Arts Center
Welcome to the party of the decent, intelligent, caring, thoughtful and honest politicians who don't believe it is necessary to hide behind lies, half truths and secret sessions and represent only the greedy and selfish.

Poll shows low approval rate for Brownback
Kensinger is nothing but one of Brownback's pit bulls or apologist, depending upon what kind of support he needs at the moment. He has done more to perpetuate republican lies than just about anyone.
I am very glad to see moderate republicans unashamed of their beliefs.
