Lock up your daughters and take your vitamins because we are back! (You didn’t think we’d let Sam Brownback run for Governor without us did you!?)
I’m not really sure where to start.
Banning mermaids? Religious Cults? Gay Bashing?
It seems like Senataur Brownback hasn’t learned a thing since his failed Presidential campaign.
We’ll catch you up all [...]
Over at RedState, a post entitled “They All Suck” eviscerates the current crop of GOP presidential wannabes. Their comments on Senator Brownback’s quest to be President:
[Brownback] has a better chance of getting hit by a meteor while being consumed by a blue whale being struck by lightening.
They all suck. (Well, okay, Brownback doesn’t suck [...]
According to an AP article, he just might:
Candidates are supposed to enjoy the unquestioned backing of their parties in their home states for the obvious benefits it could bring to the state. In 1996, when Bob Dole was the GOP nominee, there seemed no question from the beginning that he would enjoy the support of [...]

I don’t have a link yet for the Clinton announcement, but I have an email from her campaign stating that she will form an exploratory committee. I figure this will just about overshadow [...]
The Wichita Eagle notes that Brownback has announced he will add the flat tax to his Presidential platform:
Remember the flat tax? The policy proposal gained traction among conservative politicians for a while in the 1990s, but it withered amid little real-world political support.
Now it’s back, as a fiscal policy cornerstone of Sen. Sam Brownback’s campaign [...]
According to an email I received this afternoon, Senator Sam Brownback has confirmed he is making the next step in his Presidential bid:
It’s Official: Brownback to Announce for the Presidency…
United States Senator
Sam Brownback (R-KS)

Noam Scheiber of the New Republic reads into Brownback’s stance on Iraq:
So what is Brownback up to? On one level it’s pretty obvious. John McCain and, to varying degrees, the rest of the GOP field have cast their lot with Bush and the surge. There’s nothing for a longshot like Brownback to gain by falling [...]
