Kansas State Board of Education member Connie Morris of St. Francis played the martyr in a recent campaign letter, saying that she is shocked “that liberal activists who controlled our school system for years would stoop to childish behavior.” She added: “I have been called every name in the book and have put up with endless personal attacks and insults. Sometimes that behavior has made it difficult to justify continuing to serve on a board that pays less than $6,000 per year.” Actually, the job pays a lot more when you include the trip to a Miami resort Morris tried to stick taxpayers with. But never fear — Morris concludes that she is running again because she truly cares about our children’s future.

This post provides a stark comparison with the previous post about Morrison taking a $40,000 pay cut if he beats Kline this fall. Some people find nothing good to say about someone who makes such a decision about public service, and then clap and hoorah someone like Morris who has several times spent taxpayer money on projects or trips that are purely personal. Regardless how you feel about conservaive vs. mainstream political issues, can’t we all agree that candidates making decisions to pursue political office which will not increase their bottom line deserve praise whereas candidates like Morris who has proven time and time that she tries to improve her bottom line by accessing public money deserve our universal condemnation?
The names Connie Morris has been called are ones she deserves. Her ambition is not the children of this state but the indoctrination of the children with religious the views she holds. She is one of those born again types who think they are the one and only who hold the key bringing Christ into the lives of public school children.She is totally aware of the fact there is a separation of church and state for good reason, yet she chooses to disregard that fact, and in doing so is lying to the public about doing so.Lying, Connie, is a sin. You are disregarding the commandments of God by lying to the public about your intents, and that makes you not only a sinner but a hypocrite as well. You don’t deserve to hold an office that has anything to do with the education of the children of this state. If you believe God is on your side, my He see fit to step in and trounce you in the coming election
Morris will get what she deserves in the Primary election tomorrow.
It’s public office. It isn’t pretty and you are always going to be slings with personal insults. Comes with the job.
By her own admission shes, acid freak, free lovin, homewrecker. And that’s before she was on the BOE and all the boneheaded stuff she done on the board. Anyone that loses to her must be pretty pathetic indeed.
Poor Connie will get her ‘reward’ in the after life. Thank God she is such a caring, giving saint.
Or maybe she’s a total hypocrit who really isn’t capable of fathoming Christ’s REAL message.You know, the red letter stuff.
A vote against Connie is a vote against God!
Even if she gets voted out (and I’m not convinced she will), the Kansas Taliban zealots are going to keep on coming. Keep in mind, we ran these idiots out before, but thay came back. If we don’t watch them constantly, the crazies will just keep coming back.Beating them in the election isn’t enough. We need to consider a wooden stake through the heart.
XXX,After the stake, you need to bury them at a crossroad at midnight, face-down, and with oak branches pinning the body down. That should keep them in the realm of the dead.
(farmgrrl gets out the hammers and saws for stake building)
I wonder where the next “charter school” conference will be held?
Probably not where she can get a free trip on fraudulent travel vouchers to a vacation destination spot where her daughter lives and her hubby could tag along…
heheheheheeh
Connie?
I’m a single parent.
Please do not worry about the future of my kid! If you want to do something for him, get as far away from the school system as you can.
I hear Mars is nice this time of year!
JR, you cant get much closer to hell in the summer than St. Francis.
“Connie, I wish you didn’t care so much for me!”
The Paul Newman soliloquy from the movie “Cool Hand Luke” – updated for Kansas craziness.
“I wish I knew how to quit you”…
A phrase I dont hear much out here regarding connie and the board of evangelicals.
And I dont think it is because brokeback never played in catholic hays…
hee hee hee
and just in case you are STILL thinking kansas ISNT a national laughingstock….
….watch the national reports on election returns tonight and see if they mention this little kansas board of evangelicals race.
heheheheh
we are gonna be all over the national news no matter what the outcome.
I only hope they come to praise the kansas Caesars, not to bury them….
hee hee hee
You go, Girl!
Goodland? heheh. From boarder to boarder, the WE blog grows….
Welcome sba!!
Here’s a link to the Garden City Telegram pointing out more crap about Connie Morris:
http://testing.gctelegram.com/view.cgi?cat=Commentary&state=story&id=41993
Dammit apophis, dont confuse the cult of connie with more facts!!
They already dont have time to ignore or deny all of the known crap!!!!!!!
Or as the preznit would say “it’s hard work ignoring that many facts about connie the crusader”.
O Connie, dear Connie, so sorry to see you go. May your days be filled with self-doubts and internal recriminations. May your hypocritic ways follow you to the ends of the earth, and may you never be elected to any office again, as you never deserved to be elected in the first place.
Start a new church, sell cars, sell pencils on street corners, buy a new hat, eat a hamburger at Mickey D’s, greet people at Wally World . . . you get the picture.
Bottom line: there is a God.
Thank you JM.Very nicely done send-off.
heheh. Great post walker.
I wonder if this defeat will cause her to question her faith and start doing acid and having promiscuous sex again.
I’m just sayin’….
I’m glad she didn’t get re-elected, and I’m really glad that Dee Staurt lost her primary.
Connie?
Look at it this way.
Now you will have PLENTY of time to go about demanding pictures of the Flying Spaghetti Monster be ripped from classroom doors!
Oh, but you won’t be able to justify it in any official capacity…..
Sorry…
Umm…..uhhh
buh-bye.
..and the sad part?
She probably got voted out because she lied about some fraudulent travel vouchers, not because she wants religion taught as science.
Whatever. We take what we can get.
RAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
