Blogging Against Senator Sam Brownback Since March 2005
All the news that’s fit to print in Brownback land:
In Iowa, Brownback hired his first full-time staffer, Trainor Walsh, as field representative. Walsh, who worked for Iowa Republican Rep. Jim Leach’s 2002 re-election campaign, most recently was the Regional Political Director for the Legislative Majority Fund, overseeing 13 State House campaigns in eastern Iowa. He is a University of Iowa grad and lives in Des Moines. He also has workd on campaigns in Massachusetts, Florida and Virginia.
And a veteran of Steve Forbes 1996 and 2000 Iowa campaigns has signed on to Brownback’s advisory committee. Kevin McLaughlin, an investment professional, ran Polk County (that’s Des Moines) for Forbes in 1996 and was Vice-Chair of Forbes’ statewide campaign in 2000.

I wanted to know a little more about Sam Brownback after reading a piece on him in a news weekly. I saw your blog and decided the best way to find his true colors was from an enemy. And I think you really sold me on the guy.

Nathan, the enemy is the Bush administration and all who support and follow him, that includes Brownback. If you support a theocratic facist state, where your rights are limited and the corporations make our laws and policy then I guess Brownback is your man. He is only representative of the far right fringes of our society and has no shot at the White House. Having said that, we must do all we can to save America from the current administration. To support Bush and his regime is as un-American as anything could be. Support the troops, find a solution, make it stick and bring them home.

So much for tolerance and open-mindedness.

Theocratic? Facist? . . . a well-thought out critique to a simple observation that one can learn more from a man’s enemies than his friends . . .
As for corporations making our laws, despite the exasperating melodramatic liberal paranioa exhibited by that statement, (I’ll bet you just got through watching the remake of the Manchurian Candidate for the nineteenth time, didn’t you?) I’m having a hard time seeing where that would be such a bad idea. Granted, it would be tough to come up with a more exemplary justice system than the one we have in place now, but you never can tell what a little privatization might do for the overall situation.
Limited rights?
What can’t you do?
