To understand the Kansas Republican Party, you must understand Kansas History. They are the Free Staters. The most popular watering hole in uber liberal Lawrence is the Free State Brewery. Republicans in Kansas believe that they are personally responsible for freeing the slaves, without their sacrifices in Kansas, it never would have happened. This attitude has passed down through the generations with the result that the Kansas Republican Party has a sizeable proportion of liberals in their ranks.

They controlled state politics for many years because they held the balance of power. They would side with the Democrats when convenient, and they would blackmail the other Republicans to advance their liberal causes. They gave us two terms of Kathleen Sebelius.

Sam Brownback set out to do something about this. After he was elected Governor, he went after 12 notorious liberal Republicans in the Legislature. They all lost in the primary and the Kansas Republican party is no longer controlled by liberals, it is conservative and almost threw out Pat Roberts, who has a conservative voting record, but otherwise doesn’t care much about the state.

The defeated liberals are all mad as wet hens about this and have vowed revenge. They are joined with the teachers union and the Democrat party to defeat both Brownback and Roberts. Orman and Davis are their shills. Since the Democrat Party essentially doesn’t exist in this state, the only way this happens is through these has been liberal Republicans. Right now, they are being aided and abetted by many self proclaimed conservative purists who think that payback is in order because some Leawood doctor claimed that he belonged to the Tea Party. I voted for Wolf in the primary, but that was the end of it. Roberts and Brownback represent the interests of conservatives and they will get my vote.

Exactly.

This should be a no brainer.

Brownback is one of the most conservative governors in the nation. KS has among the lowest unemployment rates in the nation.

And btw-—Pat Roberts-—has one of the most conservative voting records in the US Senate. It is pure insanity to suggest he is a RINO IMHO unless the definition of RINO has changed in recent years.

You know your history. I am also proud of several of my ancestors who rode with Quantrill and Frank and Jesse James. History gives them a black eye sometimes. However, my ancestors sided with Quantrill after those “free Staters” decided it was a proper thing to murder innocent civilians, some in my family. The Outlaw Josey Wales give a good description of what happened. The irony of our family is that many now live in Kansas and all are staunch conservative Republicans. However, they all despise KU and are big K State fans. :)

Thankfully at least one former Wolf supporter gets it.

The "conservatives" screaming "RINO!!!" at Roberts are living in an alternate reality and off their meds. If it were up to me, anyone promoting the likes of Orman or Davis on this site would be zotted with no questions asked.
