Well to be honest, the problem in Kansas is two-fold, stupidity and laziness. Take the last governors race. A lot of republicans had to vote for her to reach the results we got. That's just plain stupid. Tim Shallenburger was painted to be some hardcore right winger, when in fact it's not true. Socially he was conservative, but fiscally he was a moderate. He had a voting record to prove that. Too many lazy and stupid Kansans believed the demcratic tripe about him. He co-wrote and co-sponsored the first CCW attempt. Had he been elected we would have CCW now.
Those of you who voted for Kathleen "blanco" Sebelius on the other hand deserve exactly what you are getting. She is a socialist. She has no leadership skills, and the only time anything ever gets accomplished is by the vote of some group of schmucks appointed to some committee by her, because she didn't have the courage to actually take a leadership role in anything. She has been a horrible governor for us. Jobs are basically stagnant, while in other states they are growing. Eminent domain abuse runs rampantly unchecked, and she doesn't have the courage to put the state supremes in check on education.
To make matters worse, my representative has withdrawn from the governors race and will be retiring. I don't have to call Doug Mays to tell him how I want him to vote, I call him to say keep up the good work. Which brings up the laziness thing again. If half of the people I talk to actually called their reps as much as they say we wouldn't be having this discusiion now. Oh, and for the record the sponsor of the last CCW attempt, Candy Ruff, is a Democrat, and the wife of a LEO. This is a people problem, specifically laziness and stupidity.
