When Pat Roberts faced a conservative primary challenge this summer, he did what most Republican senators have learned to do: turn hard right. Now, facing an unexpectedly strong independent challenge, Roberts is doubling down.

On Thursday, the three-term Kansas senator turned to tea party darling Sarah Palin to rally voters behind his flagging campaign. The former Alaska governor praised Roberts for standing with Sen.

Why is this so difficult for you to understand?

I did and still do understand what you posted. You are not hearing what I'm saying: Why endorse a Kansas Republican for Senate and not a Louisiana Republican for Senate? Why Hatch, a few years ago, and not the Tea Party candidate then? I'm curious about the inconsistencies.

Why browbeat me because you do not comprehend what I've been posting? One HAS to read all my posts from the beginning of the thread to know what my opinion is. Your opinion is and has been clear to me, although you piled on kind of late in this thread.
