If a number of heavyweight Republicans have their way, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be running for governor of Kansas next year. Gen. Richard B. Myers, whose four-year term as JCS chairman ends next month, is reportedly planning to settle in Kansas to teach at the university level. However, the Kansas State University graduate has begun to be boomed as the Republican opponent to Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in '06.
Although the general's political views (and even his party registration, if any) are unknown, sources in Kansas told HUMAN EVENTS that Republican Sen. Sam Brownback "thinks very highly" of Myers. The same sources say Brownback held a closed-door meeting with a group of nine major GOP donors at the Courtyard Marriott in Wichita on Monday, August 29th. Only weeks after Rep. Jerry Moran had stunned Sunflower State Republicans by opting for re-election instead of a long-anticipated challenge to Sebelius, the group at the Marriott reportedly tried to persuade . . .

The 2nd coming of Eisenhower.
YES! DOWN WITH SEBELIUS THE WITCH!
Oh my gosh. How cool for me!!!!!!!!!
I respect the man tremendously...But..
He seems the type the media and political class will break down the first days he's in office.
Hope he does it. I don't think he could lose if he runs.
I hope a Republican wins the Governorship in KS. This way Sen. Sam Brownback will be free to run for President in 2008.
Ping!
The RINOs are the 3rd party in Kansas. I don't think there's been a non-RINO Governor elected since Bill Avery in 1964 (still going strong at 94 !). For a long time, the Democrats elected Governor were more Conservative than the RINOs (and even then the regular Republicans !). Sebelius is probably the first National 'Rat ever elected.
I hope he isn't the second-coming of Ike. Ike was a Kansas RINO.
I know that state House Speaker Doug Mays is running. What's wrong with him? Is he a RINO poor candidate, or is it something else?
WOOHOO ping!!!
Check out Ike's inflation, interest rate, and unemployment rate.
Could use a few more Rinos like that.
Check this out:
Ike's appointments to the Supreme Court:
Earl Warren, Potter Stewart, William J. Brennan.
U.S. Senate (1952 Election)
Republican Majority (48 GOP to 46 'Rat)
(1960-final year in office)
Democrat Majority (64 'Rat to 36 GOP)
U.S. House (1952 Election)
Republican Majority (221 GOP to 213 'Rat)
(1960-final year in office)
Democrat Majority (283 'Rat to 153 GOP)
Governors (1952 Election)
(29 GOP to 19 'Rat)
(1960-final year in office)
(34 'Rat to 16 GOP)
It's apparently not too well-known (though should be) that after 6 years in office, Ike reduced our numbers in Congress to Depression-era levels, which took a quarter-century to recoup in the Senate and 40 years in the House (and we've never recovered from the damages caused by his judicial appointees).
Hello Kansas freepers. I am Kenneth Wallis. I am the Leadership Institute field represenative for Missouri and Kansas.
My job is to create conservative organizations on college campuses and help existing campuses increase membership. I would like any contacts on or off campus. I will be around MSSU Sept 6 and 7th. I will be at Pittsburg State U in Kansas Sept 8th and leave on the 9th for Springfield, MO.
Any contact information for Kansas and Missouri would be very helpful.
Moderates (read bigger libs than Dims) keep seeing to it that their star RINOs lose in primaries with conservatives, then they back the DemocRAT, whomever he or she is. I mean back with $$$$$ and voters (even non-existent or dead ones.)
