Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback will officially kick off his presidential campaign Saturday in Topeka. He already has an exploratory committee and a Web site, but he has yet to unveil a slogan, something snappy, defining and inspiring. Who better to recommend some to him than his Kansas constituents? Some possibilities to get the party started: “The Right Stuff.” “All the Right Moves.” “Brownback to the Future.”
Your turn.
Meanwhile, in an interview in the National Catholic Register, headlined “The Next Catholic President?” Brownback defined his candidacy this way: “I’ll be the only person at the core of the campaign who will be pushing for the reform of the family and restoration of the culture and human dignity at all phases of life.”

GO AWAY Brownback!!
Your going to do nothing but make kansans look like a bunch of fools.
Please dont hurt us that bad.
You have got to be kidding me; there is NO-WAY that the people would want a religious conservative to be a president again!Brownback is completely out-of-touch with the real world.
brownback mountain
“A Vote for Brownback is a vote for religious persecution.”
“Side with the Brownmeister and go directly to heaven.”
“Think God loves you? Think again: without Brownback, there is no heaven.”
“Go with the known winners: The Father, The Son, and the Holy Brownback.”
National Retail Sales Tax not the flat tax
“If it’s Brownback, flush it down, Jack”
ID advocates now sit on state and local boards, in state houses, and in seats of the U.S. Congress. Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) is a strong opponent of evolution. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) is an ID advocate with close ties to CSC fellows. He introduced language in the U.S. Senate’s No Child Left Behind Act language that sanctioned teaching the “controversy” surrounding evolution; it passed the Senate by a preliminary vote of 91 to 8
Sam’s new slogan?
GOD DID IT.
People opposing evolution are living in a fantasy world.We certainly have had enough of that with our current administration.
Save a FetusKill a GayVote the Brownback Way
“God told me to run for President!”
….this just in….Sam BrownPope has changed his stance on abortion. He was quoted as saying ‘if there are any signs of homosexuality during the bellyscan, abortion would be a justifiable end to that gay fetus” ” We must not let our maternity wards be overrun by gay babies, there are enough pink blankets, balloons, oral pacifiers, and hair bows to mirror a San Francisco park on a Sunday afternoon”
Hahaha Jim.. Your satire is indeed amusing.
Brownback is another one of those semi-good guys turned fundamentalist zealot. Oh well..
Brownback–like Bush without the glitz
What’s really funny is just having him run.
The Republican party is run by powerful interests who choose the candidate.
How do you think we got the unqualified idiot Bush over the experienced McCain?
They want somebody who has dedicated his life to making the rich richer.
Brownback has only followed, not led, on the key Republican issue of amassing wealth for the wealthy.
CA:
Re: “How do you think we got the unqualified idiot Bush over the experienced McCain?”
I strongly disagree- Bush has repeatedly shown himself to be asuperbly qualified idiot!
Is maga-idiot a word?It fits.
Make that mega-idiot!
“reform of the family”? So he is going to “reform” my 35+ year marriage? No thanks Sam, I don’t need Big Government telling my family how to live.
Brownback catchphrase?
“I’m NOT a kook”
OK. This is difficult. How does one come up with a winning slogan for someone who’s just going to lose no matter what? Although “Brownback Mountain” is pretty good.
“I’m not as bad as Bush”?
“A vote for me is a vote for De-Bushification!”.
This is the thing, those of us who do NOT like Brownback’s voting record, nothing he can say now is going to switch our opinion of him. He has proven himself to be far right, and that isn’t going to get him elected. He doesn’t have a Rovian attack and spin machine.
Rhonda,
why don’t you go work for him? Then we wouldn’t have to see your idiot blog spots here. You do not do well at covering up your right wing
Good point, Gster! I stand corrected.
Bush is the most qualified idiot we’ve ever had . . .
“I can take a joke, Can’t you?”
Voting for Brownback is like running in the special olympics.Even if you win,you’re still retarded.
Clean feet.
Yellowback’s slogan should be : ” Invade the world/invite the world, it worked for the Romans!”
Viva La Raza Blanco!!
“I’m not as dumb as I look…it’s not possible!”.
???
Brownback should just save himself time and money and not run at all. The now Liberal Kansas won’t let him. He’ll get accused of be a man of Christianity (horror!) and conservative values (more horror!.)
I guess we conservatives should be good little citizens and just sit in a corner.
The Silent Majority will once again grow in numbers, studying the landscape and then surprise the oppressors of our beliefs with astounding power of the vote.
One should not have to run on being a Christian. They should run on their ability to lead this country and to make choices based on what is right for EVERYONE, not just his right wing buddies.
THAT is why he won’t get elected.
His religion should have very little to do with his campaign, but the fact that it does is EXACTLY why he should lose.
Sam Brownback: With a pulse since 1956.
hey, where have you been hiding Kia.
PMom,
That is reality. What’s the first thing that gets brought up with Brownback? His conservative values based on his Christian background.
One has to deny the existence of God in order to be in politics these days.
Unless of course your a Muslim, then everyone is too scared or politically correct to attack them.
I’ve been around, but just not having much new to say.
Nobody has to deny the existence of God, but they don’t need to put their religious beliefs front and center either. The discrimination against christianity is about the biggest bunch of hooey you could try to play.
How about “Brownback, with a constituentcy of One”.
Right PMom,
Hooey…
Brownback – Another village, another idiot.
Yes, Hooey, I’ll give you an example…
Kathleen Sebelius- Catholic. Good candidate.
Sam Brownback- Catholic. Bad candidate.
What’s the difference between the two….it isn’t their religion.
“I guess we conservatives should be good little citizens and just sit in a corner.”
CAPITAL idea! Please share it with Brownback before he further embarasses Kansas.
“A solution to the illegal problem; Think Brownback”!
Ol’ Sam got 69% of the votes when he was reelected in ‘04. Those of you that rave on and on about him being a “bad candidate” might stop and realize that you’re in the minority.
And y’all DO believe in opinion polls..right?
JM – I have no problem with conservatives but I do have a problem when that person is constantly trying to preach down to everyone else.
What I see as being wrong in the last several years has been this Christian Conservativde movement that makes issues like gay marriage the central issue of a campaign. That is just stupid to me. Our country is in a war that is going badly because of mismanagement and the only issue that warrants Brownback’s attention was gay marriage?
That’s why I do not think Brownback has a chance. The majority of voters are fed up with the religious intolerance of the Christian Conservatives.
My entry for his slogan is: Brownback…you gotta love the hair
A slogan for Brownback? How about, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” Of course it must said in Monty Python style that way we can all laugh about the thought of a Brownback presidency.
Brownback; The Last Mohican.
Brownback: a flat tax for a flat earth.
Good one VT!
Brownback:I used to have this HUGE AFRO.But now I’m ’saved’.
He’d look good in a Pope hat.
There’s a Place for Gays and it’s not in WashingtonVote for Sam
There’s a Place for Gays and it’s not in WashingtonVote for Sam
Winning slogan for Brownback:
“I’m brown_, and I’ll never go down.”
Brownback to the future: Sure as Hell better than Hillary.
Brownback and brass balls, its time for some hard decisions.
Sam I Am…. I am Sam.Would you vote me in as prez, would you do it, if “choice” I sez? Would you do it if I went gay, would you do it, polls would say? Would you vote for brownback and dregs, would you do it, if I shaved my legs? Would you do it if I cheer, would you do it, Wichita dear?
Brownback won’t back down, gonna stand his ground, Brownback won’t back down.
Brownbackbone, tall and firm. Brownbackbone makes the liberals squirm.
Bring (Bryan) Brownback
Brownback is a Republican which is the best reason not to vote for him. I didn’t even know he was a Catholic nor does it matter to me. He will never be President.
No, REpublican Gerald Ford will never be president. (Heard on a proto-blog in 1972)
OH, and Republican Abe Lincoln will never, ever be president. Heard on a proto-proto blog (even b-4 Al Gore invented the internet) in 1858.
I’ve no idea who the hell Ignatius Brown was. But apparently insanity ran rampant in his family.
Anyone who would vote for someone who endorses abortion, that is, someone who fights to have even more baby parts sitting in garbages all across America outside of abortion clinics is sick. Someone who wants to protect little helpless defenseless babies is the antithesis of being a bad president. In fact- it’s proof that he cares about the people in his country. One who would dispose of his fellow Americans, big or little, belongs on death row.
