So is Hensley a conservative democRAT, or are the republicans here just suck-asses?

Expel them, if possible. The nature of a party requires SOME modicum of party discipline. You can’t just call yourself “Republican” because, well, you SAY you are one — at least not in public office. Insane.

Imagine if a group of Democrats endorsed a Republican for re-election of a Democrat. The REST of the Dem party would be outraged, and they should be.

The primary got rid of the suck ars democRATS in the primary, most of the rest were removed by conservatives. I watched the democrat convention and when Kansas took the stage to endorse Obama, they recognized 3 past republicans, Dwight Eisenhower, Bob Dole, and Nancy Landon Kassebaum as great statesmen, so I knew then the direction the demo’s were going this fall.

“Imagine if a group of Democrats endorsed a Republican for re-election of a Democrat.”

This does not happen anywhere, ever. The democrat party has iron discipline when it comes to control over their members. I used the term “iron discipline” deliberately; it’s Lenin’s legacy.

Al but one of the endorsers were defeated in the primaries by conservatives. The other one isn’t running this year.

My guess is that the Rats control the state senate and they are ass kissers hoping for scraps from the master’s table.

Here’s a similar case:

Democrat Mazie Hirono Endorsed By Republican Don Young For Hawaii Senate

Posted: 07/24/2012 5:54 pm Updated: 07/24/2012 6:38 pm

Does cloyingly cute bipartisanship work in Senate contests?

The campaign of Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) thinks so, and it has rolled out a 90-second ad featuring Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young (of bridge to nowhere fame) endorsing Hirono in her Senate contest against former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle.

Six state senators in the LIBERAL/RINO/MARXIST wing of the Kansas Republican Party on Friday endorsed the re-election bid of Topeka Sen. Anthony Hensley, the chamber's top Democrat.

Fixed it!!!

Option #2 is the correct one.

Kansas is, normally, such a reliably Republican state that anyone who wants to get elected to anything calls themselves a “Republican” no matter what their true beliefs (or lack thereof) are. They are the epitome of the epithet, RINO.

The typical RINO politician who loses a primary, as happened to these particular traitors, would **MUCH** rather see a liberal Democrat get power than a conservative Republican. They hate and fear conservatives in their own party far more than they hate any liberal or Democrat.

It happens with RINO voters too, not just politicians, and that explains how an flaming liberal like Sebelius can get elected from time to time (plus, her daddy was a Republican; maybe some folks were confused).

When the roles are reversed and a RINO wins a primary over a real Republican, the RINOs incessantly preach that conservatives need to “get over it” and “accept defeat” and vote for the RINO in November instead of staying home or voting 3rd party, etc.

It’s a one-way street with those chumps, and I’m glad that this group got run over.

I find it incredible that in every election cycle we're told that conservatives have to pull for the moderates for the good of the Party when we lose (Dede Scozzafava, Mike Castle, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee, ...) But when moderates lose, they show none of the loyalty that's expected from us.

Another exhibition of this very phenomenon on display. Get these people OUT of our Party, and make sure they never come back.

It’s nice to have the names of six scumbag liberal “Republicans” to flush down the toilet like turds when they come up for re-election.

We had something similar happen in Tennessee a few years back. It didn’t work out too well for Liberal Republicans in the next election.

The Republicans hold "super majorities" in both chambers of the state legislature, so it makes perfect sense that a rat who wants to get elected in Kansas needs to sneak around and lie and call him/herself a "Republican". I have little doubt that most, if not all, of these six liberal scumbags were Democrats from Democrat families their entire lives until they decided to play the politics game. Then they did what Democrats do - - they lied, and pretended to be Republicans in order to get elected.

These scumbags voted for Ubama and they will vote for Ubama again.
Guaranteed.

Congratulations to Kansas for flushing these six turds down the toilet.
