Isn't ...Leaving Bill Clinton with my daughter? Isn't it his people covering up sexual harassment, wearing pampers with their escorts, encouraging gay rumors, leaving their wives for someone in Argentina, leaving their wives while they have cancer, and many more questionable activities? I wish someone that's not a comedian would bring those facts up. You can't use public bathrooms around them. They're talking about trust? Obama doesn't have to pretend to be a raving lunatic when he talks to his base. <br /><br /><br />Vic78Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-11212019540389554432013-07-12T12:03:31.203-05:002013-07-12T12:03:31.203-05:00The moment Obama was first elected; I knew that th...The moment Obama was first elected; I knew that things were going to get worse first if they were ever going to get better. <br /><br />Politicians like Tim Huelskamp are why I'm so glad my parents moved the family out of Kansas in the late '80s. Kansas was a good place to grow up, but there's no freakin' way I'd live there now. This is still a place where the term “liberal” is a bad word and you’d be hard pressed to find any Kansas liberal identify themselves as such. <br /><br />Kansans don't even have the sense to know that their beloved GOP of 1861 died 100 years later with the "Southern Strategy." The state has racial issues of its own despite its strong abolitionist past. Not even Tom Frank, the author of “What’s the Matter with Kansas” wants to touch on these issues. The state is in deep denial about this. Especially as it continues its rivalry with Missouri for being a former slave state while forgetting that the Supreme Court case that declared segregation was unconstitutional originated from their own state capital! Kansans should remember this the next time they tease Missourians at sporting events where this ongoing interstate rivalry (which began with “Bleeding Kansas”) is continued in a safer and much less violent manner. <br /><br />So, to make a long story short, Huelskamp doesn’t surprise me. But, you know what’s so ironic about all of this; President Obama is the closest a Kansan has come to occupying the White House since Dwight Eisenhower. Huelskamp probably doesn’t even know that Obama’s mother was from Wichita. Ha! Oh, how I just love the irony. nabsentia23noreply@blogger.com
