I'd say it was mora a case that the Kansas voters were no longer fooled by Roberts than they were fooled by Orman. Orman's a Democrat. There isn't a single individual in the state who hasn't figured that out by now. But Roberts is the poster child for everything people detest about career politicians; his phoniness, his complete lack of interest in his constituents, his feeling of entitlement, the fact that he doesn't care about his job enough to do it well. Maybe they're just tired of getting crap candidates shoved down their throat election after election and figure Oram is the lesser pile of crap?
I see you are on a Kansas thread again to crap all over Roberts. He isn’t even your representative but you hit all his threads to bash him or downplay him.
Look, we know he’s not perfect, hell, no politician is, but he is a far better alternative to putting a person in like Orman that will be at 0bama and Reid’s disposal. 0bama, Reid, and their ilk, like Orman is what is wrong with America but continue to come to every Roberts to downplay him when the most important thing is to get the Senate back and keep as many conservative seats that we can, to get this country back on a Constitutional track.
Orman will definitely not be that guy. Even though Roberts is not perfect, it is definitely a step in the right direction to getting this country back on track and I plan to vote that way here in the next hour or so.

When it comes to issues that a voter cares about, such as the Second Amendment, the Right to Life, building the Keystone pipeline, traditional marriage, Obamacare, etc...there is no question that Roberts’ views and positions on these and just about every other issue are closer to the views of most Kansans than they are to Orman’s views. It isn’t even close.
There is something really weird about Kansas this year. And it just isn’t pertaining to Pat Roberts. Sam Brownback is one of the best governors in the nation IMHO, up there with Scott Walker. He has cut tax taxes, cut spending and made Kansas more prosperous than most states and it also has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the entire nation. And yet Brownback is deep trouble too. So go figure. Neither Roberts or Brownback should be any trouble IMHO. Kansas is one of the most Republican states in the entire nation. It has not voted for a Dem presidential candidate since 1964. It has not for a Dem US Senate candidate since 1932. Are Brownback and Roberts perfect? Of course not. No one is. But they are VASTLY preferable to their liberal opponents by any measure imaginable. I do think in the end Brownback and Roberts will win re-election as the voters come to the obvious conclusion that the alternatives are MUCH WORSE in every regard.
