Kansas residents have had him as a Senator for so long because they voted for him. Shouldn't people be able to elect those they want to elect? Being a politician in this country has been a career almost from the first. I don't like it, but it's not going to go away by kicking one of the most conservative Senators to the curb.

In the end you get what you vote for, and in Roberts case, you aren’t getting much.

Who in your mind are better Senators?

“Kansas residents have had him as a Senator for so long because they voted for him.”

Well yeah! And sure, people should be able to vote for whomever they want too. But just how’s that working out for our country? And as far as your comment to the effect that, “that’s just the way it’s been for a long time” makes it neither smart nor any way compliant with the vision of the founding fathers. And you are very wrong in your assertion that it’s “been that way from the beginning,” because it hasn’t. The truth is, Roberts should have been replaced thirty years ago, but like a lot of other states, Kansas voters don’t really care who they have representing them from the looks or it. One day, not far off as I see it, people like you are going to wake up and be completely surprised that the country they thought they had is gone!
I guess you are also o.k. with all those voters deciding that they want the RATs so they will get all that “free $hit” too. I mean after all, “it’s what they want,”right?
Good Senators: Lee and Cruz. Not much else!
