Long Article. If you want to know what is really going on in Kansas from the extreme left wing point of view, read this article by one of the leading socialists of this country. He explains what the touted "100 Republicans" who oppose Brownback are really up to and helps you understand why Davis in the Governor's race and Orman in the Senate race are shills for the unions and the socialists.

The left are fit to be tied by what Brownback has done in Kansas and they intend to undo it. They are being helped by many conservatives, including some very misguided ones on this forum.

The heart of his program consisted of drastic tax cuts for the wealthy ...

Red flag phrase.

[the wealthy] == [those not getting EITC].

Orman indeed is a shill for the unions and the socialists, but, incredible as it may sound, many FReepers openly are rooting for him to be elected to the U.S. Senate because they want to “teach a lesson” to conservative Republican Pat Roberts for having had the audacity of defeating in the primary a self-appointed “Tea Party leader” with no record and questionable judgment.

Oh, I have every intention of voting for Brownback. Just not Roberts.

Not me! I am not the smartest guy in the room, but even I can recognize, from a conservative point of view, that of the remaining options on the table, voting for Roberts is the best choice.

You need to balance the budget. Cutting revenue means you have to cut spending to do that. Cut spending in a state where 67% of the budget goes to education means you have to cut school funding. Cutting school funding angers a lot of voters. Anger a lot of voters and you’re down 4 to 6 percent in the polls with 5 weeks to go. It’s as simple as that.

WHen this article says “In addition to his sweeping tax cuts, Brownback wanted to eliminate the earned-income tax credit, which had benefited the working poor.”

How is it that Brownback has any effect upon the administration or validity of part of the Federal tax code?

Or am I just being deluged under a big load of liborrhea in this article?

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

The Democrats have ALREADY scored a victory of sorts in KS.

They have forced the Republicans to commit resources in state which should be slam dunk for them.

I do think that in the end cooler heads will prevail as Kansans realize that the alternatives to Brownback and Roberts are not acceptable to their values and beliefs.

Kansas is full of idiots

I've always liked Brownback and still do. This is a shame. The fact that this will not affect the Senate race and that the same "bunch" is not going after Roberts, just Brownback, tells me that they must be pleased with "their" Senator.

[RightCenter]

what's the best way for us to rebut this? By June of 2014, the results of Brownback’s economic reforms began to come in, and they weren’t pretty. During the first fiscal year that his plan was in operation, which ended in June, the tax cuts had produced a staggering loss in revenue—$687.9 million, or 10.84 percent. According to the nonpartisan Kansas Legislative Research Department, the state risks running deficits through fiscal year 2019. Moody’s downgraded the state’s credit rating from AA1 to AA2; Standard & Poor’s followed suit, which will increase the state’s borrowing costs and further enlarge its deficit.

Bump!!!

Rats want Orman and Davis, RINOs want Orman and Davis. Conservatives should want Roberts and Brownback to ream them, period.
