Brownback's obsession with Mitt Romney continues...

[Howie66]

Brownback is TOAST (No Sarcasm here....).

[BlueStateRefugee]

He seems to have a man crush on old Mitt.

[claudiustg]

Then, 15 minutes later, he praised Romney on agriculture.

[VOA]

“Brownback hits Romney on Agriculture”

Well, I can’t blame Senator Switchback.
If I was in his shoes, I’d do anything to divert attention from his
actions on June 28, 2007.

[Montanabound]

Give it up, Sen. Switchback. Go apologize to Hillary or something.

[sittnick]

Brownback focuses on Romney because he is concentrating on Iowa, where Romney is strong. Giuliani supporters are not going to switch to Brownback. Those who back Romney because of Romney’s professed pro-life position just might.

If he’s going to attack, he will attack where he might get votes. If Huckabee were ahead, he’d attack Huckabee.

[elizabetty]

Switchback keeps trying to get Romney upset and Romney responds without even mentioning Switchback's name.

Brownback's obsession with Mitt Romney continues...

Is this the great statesman that voted for amnesty before he voted against it. Dead fish flop!

[Paleo Conservative]

“Romney suggested eliminating the Department of Agriculture and reducing farm subsidies during his unsuccessful 1994 Senate race in Massachusetts,”

And the problem is what?

[doug from upland]

It would have been a funnier headline and story if it said BROWNBACK HITS ROMNEY WITH AGRICULTURE

[WOSG]

“Romney suggested eliminating the Department of Agriculture and reducing farm subsidies during his unsuccessful 1994 Senate race in Massachusetts”

WAIT A SECOND ... THAT SOUNDS SUSPICIOUSLY CONSERVATIVE.

WAS MITT ROMNEY A CONSERVATIVE BACK IN 1994?

[Rameumptom]

I saw an article here on FR a few months ago that Romney was beating Brownback in his home state of Kansas. Perhaps that is why he feels obsessed with attacking Mitt.

Anyone have any updated polls on Kansas?

[Rameumptom]

Speaking of the Dept. of Agriculture, Mormon Apostle Ezra Taft Benson was asked by Dwight D. Eisenhower to be his Sec. of Agriculture. He was one of the best most conservative appointees the country has ever had. He was able to dismantle a lot of the beauracracy.

From wiki

[edit] Political career

In 1953, Benson was appointed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by President Eisenhower. Benson accepted this position with the permission of Church President David O. McKay and therefore served simultaneously in the United States Cabinet and in the Quorum of the Twelve.

Known for initiating Eisenhower's habit of beginning Cabinet meetings with a prayer, Benson cut a controversial figure in politics. Ideologically he was far to the right of Eisenhower, and he was prone to Red-baiting in speeches. In fact he opposed as "socialist" the system of government price supports and aid to farmers which he was entrusted to administer. Nonetheless, he survived in the position for all eight years of Eisenhower's presidency.
