Brownback and Roberts smeared and stammered, all the while showering the true believers in the audience with reliable trigger words like "Obamacare", "Nancy Pelosi", "Harry Reid", the "farm pond" and yes, even the "prairie chicken."
Ah, the seldom seen, poor miserable low-flying prairie chicken, once shot by long firing squads along the state's mowed gravel roads, joins the black president as bullet words to be spit out at those who do not agree, speak well of, or vote for the New Republicans of Kansas.
Gov. Brownback twice used the term "prairie chicken," bellowing, "He (challenger Rep. Paul Davis) wants to stop farming in a third of the state." Just how crazy are these true believers in the New Republican Party of Kansas? Fear, the best tool to move the obedient and stupid, has silenced common sense in Kansas.
Gubernatorial-candidate Rep. Paul Davis did not wither under incumbent Gov. Sam Brownback's non-stop "Obama" word play or his prairie chicken namecalling. It's not too hard to stand tall under fire when the state's credit score has been lowered three times on Brownback's watch while school, county and health care budgets have been gutted.
Would someone around here think about this contradiction? Statehouse news reporters just a few weeks ago in August hurriedly gathered around the governor, during the last credit downgrade, to hear him say, "cutting taxes is always painful." But did anyone ask, "Painful for whom?"
Now Brownback bombs us with television ads of himself shown sitting in front of head-nodding old folks, saying "the sun is shining in Kansas."
Who in hell around here thinks this isn't a giant stinking con-job?
The outgunned candidate for governor, Rep. Paul Davis, pointed out that Sam still has a presidential exploration committee operating, but he notes that one of the members of that committee hailing from Texas is under criminal indictment.
