2014 Senate Projections

I don't know how a party that champions fiscal responsibility can like a guy who is increasing the deficit every quarter?

Moved on from the bond ratings, eh?

Not particularly.

Maddow - republican only goal is to make Obama look bad over the next two years.

Obama is irrelevent now. 2016 presidential campaign starts tomorrow

Does she not realize he did that all by himself? That's why this happened.

ABC News: 65% of Americans think the country is on wrong track = Republicans taking control.

[SB Shock]

Anyone else annoyed hearing Mcconnell talking about how America voted for change and that is what he is going to bring.

I wouldn't mind a republican coup against McCconnel

Do you think electing a democrat like Davis would be better - hell no.

It interesting - it was Bob Dole who first realized that Roberts was in trouble as he was doing his own tour of Kansas and alerted the Republican Party they might have a problem. In 2013 the NRSC met with Roberts and Roberts told them "he knew Kansas better than anyone and would not be taking advice from the party’s whippersnappers."

By late October, Roberts’s sagging poll numbers improved. Still, Dole called Bliss regularly to bark at the young manager. “Damn it,” Dole would say, “put more signs on Route 81.” On Halloween, Dole told Bliss to issue a provocative press release about Orman’s “Democratic costume.”

You got to love Dole - he's old school, but he's still got it at 91

Finally, the knee Jerk liberals will be back on the politics forum! It doesn't matter the topic, here come the daily talking points and character assassinations! That is what liberals do best! They make horrible conversation when their peeps are in charge, but they can attack the "establishment" like barbarians! Liberals are protesters by nature, not leaders. They are flag burning, dope smoking, victims that can only protest. Now this forum will get fun again. I look forward to reading the liberal rants all over again. Its hard to protest and ***** when you control the Oval Office and half of the Congress, now you can complain! We've missed you guys!

I had other things going on tonight, so I'm just now getting caught up, so I'll chime in with a bunch of thoughts.

1) Orman proved to be just too sleazy.He ended up having more baggage than a redcap trailing after the Kardashian family.

2) In a way, I'm glad to see Brownback re-elected. Just one way. I want to see him figure out a way to bail the State out of the financial mess he created. In the next 4 years the KanCare bill will come due, and the renewal cost is going to be ginormous. Probably WAY more than the state was spending before privatization. I expect some mid-term budget cuts and I fear the judiciary will get hit with furloughs and shutdowns - that was happening before the last round of budget cuts.

3) MVJ posted a pic of a moving van in a post he addressed to me. Due to unfortunate circumstances that I had no ability to control, I ended up being a person with no income. I had the resources to carry me through that. In fact, I refused unemployment because I didn't want to take money that way. I could have kept my season tickets if I had taken the unemployment money.

When taxes on "small" corporations were eliminated and a sales tax that was set to expire was continued, my taxes went up. In what world is raising taxes for people with no income acceptable as a way to reduce taxes for typically wealthy people? The government of Kansas is encouraging me to go away. The current administration in Kansas is really pissing off a guy down on his luck.

Once my mother (94) leaves this earth I change from a pissed off poor guy to a pissed off guy with plenty of money to relocate. The only thing I expect from the government is Medicare, which I paid into for 40 years and my wife paid into for 35. I'm leaning toward a non-Health Compact state and a location with 5 golf courses, 7 lakes (5 are "no-wake" and all are resident fishing only), good scenery, cooler summers, warmer winters, and similar cost of living and housing to Wichita.

A Republican House and Senate would check him. Brownback will run us into bankruptcy in a short amount of time. His all at once tax cutting experiment was not done right and trouble is looming.

I did apologize. What was I supposed to do? I mean, Shurtz put it on a tee. Then again, based on your description of where you want to go and when, you pretty much describe the people I say leave states. You want warmer weather, golf courses and lakes. You are still in Kansas only because you have family ties keeping you in Kansas. Hell, when I can move from here, by what you described, we might be neighbors. Then again, my fishing boat might make a wake or two.

Feels good to have the adults in charge for at least another 2 years.

I'm guessing the party's over for Obama. It'll be interesting to see how long the media continues to ignore his scandals.

I don't care if you replace Brownback, but replace him with something better. Davis wouldn't even take the 2014 Political Courage Test - what is he hiding? Maybe he's a anti-gun liberal democrat.

I'm not pro Davis but I'm anti-Brownback.

Dole is, was, and will always be the man!
