Bloodied but unbowed after a largely unsuccessful primary season, the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) isn’t backing down in the final months of the midterms.
The group on Thursday launched radio and television ads in Kansas highlighting questions over where Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) lives, making a final play in the group's last remaining incumbent primary. It endorsed Roberts's challenger, radiologist Milton Wolf, but he has thus far failed to pick up much traction against the senator.
Both spots hit Roberts on the national debt and ObamaCare, and they feature a clip of Roberts commenting in a recent interview that, "Every time I get an opponent, uh, I mean every time I get a chance, I'm home."
“Pat Roberts: Liberal in Washington, rarely in Kansas,” narrators say in the ads.
Roberts has been dogged by reports outlining the scant time he’s spent in the state over the past year and the fact that he rents out his home in Kansas and stays with donors when he returns to the state. Similar residency questions have contributed to the defeat of incumbent senators in the past, and his detractors seized on his most recent gaffe about coming home for an opponent as further evidence of how out of touch he is with the state.
The television and radio ads are running statewide on a buy that the group says “will approach a half million dollars.”

Conservatives should reject all GOPe and those who support and/or endorse them.
sadly I think it’s time to stop holding our nose or vote Rat to get rid of the GOPe completely.
Lets get the blood bath of the GOPe over with, ya, the rats will stomp on the gas and we will crash that much quicker but at this point, I don’t see us stopping this train in time anyways. Better for them to get the blame.
The freeshyt crowed will be the most affected. Be ready to protect your shyt..
They are supporting Rob Maness over the Establishment idiot, Bill Cassidy, in Louisiana. HALLELUJAH! I have faith in the good people of LA to reject Cassidy and fat girl.
Why would you have “faith” in the Louisiana voter? History does not indicate such faith is justified. But so many other states are much worse.
I fear that Dr. Cassidy, probably a good physician, lacks the political skills to make a statewide case that the people of LA can understand. Incumbency is strong in LA too.
Rino Cassidy may have a tougher go of it than you think.

Well, Teddy...... Huey P. Long and Edwin Edwards are dead. This is a new generation of Louisianans. I live in Texas, but, I can almost throw a rock into Louisiana. I never cease to be amazed at the “Conservative element” in that State. They almost make Texas look like Massachusettes. Also, they have NEVER forgotten the “Louisiana Purchase”..... when Obama paid-off Landrieu for her deciding vote on ObamaCare. And, they have a governor who has made his favorite hobby, calling out Obama every chance he gets. He loves getting in Obama’s sh*t. And when he does, the people of that State rally behind him.
See my Post #9.
Or just stay home. I’m sick of the cowardly, feckless GOPe.
You need to rethink your position. Staying home only “helps” the RINOs.
So you want me to vote for people who actively oppose the candidates I support?
BTTT!
Love. That.

Well gorush, if you have a candidate you support, why the hell are you talking about staying home? You’re not making sense. RULE #1: Never drink before getting on the computer.
When the party that I thought was the county’s only hope spends money to support the party I thought was the country’s enemy I start to question my loyalty...don’t you? The fact that you don’t make sense of my statement suggests that either I am not expressing myself well or you are unwilling to infer my actual meaning. I am sorry if it is the former and powerless to communicate to you if it is the latter.
I understand what you meant now.
Come on Kansas...Roberts is like Dorothy, except she wanted to go home to Kansas, HE doesn’t.
The last I read EWE is about to turn 87 next month and is a popular Democrat contender for the 6th District U.S. House seat, based from Baton Rouge.
YOU ARE KIDDING ME! I thought he had been dead for a few years.
