Comments on: Brownback right about GOP debate no-shows

Brownback doesn’t care about legislation involving kids because they can’t vote for him.

Brownback DOES have a strategy of trying to attract the womens vote. He played the “protection of foreign women card” sponsoring the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act by accepting manufactured claims from Women Advocacy groups asserting an epidemic of domestic violence of foreign brides who met their American husbands through the internet.

The NOW and their affiliates (including the Tahirih Justice Center) had their own plan and snookered Brownback into sponsoring this blatantly unconstitutional romance law based upon hysterical lies and rumor mil hysteria. After the law was passed the truth revealed that the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act he sponsored was a hoax.http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/07/10/0…

Probably the Women’s Advocacy groups (whose executives are well paid) realized that getting guillible politicans like Brownback involved would result in more tax dollars being diverted to their “manufactured problem” when the money could be spent on a real problem such as helping kids.8 October 2007 at 8:14 a.m.

“”"”Gays tend to be upper income white males”

Uh, hellooooo? Do you know me? Do I fit those descriptions? Got a source for that? It’s a little early for stereotyping, no?”"”"

I can only go by what I see in Midtown (Atlanta) everyday. The vast majority of gays I see are professional white males.

I think that’s true for the most part KFG, except the white MALES seem to be more wealthy- but you know I think that’s a sexism issue.

I know a gay woman who works in all the same professions that men do, and she makes about the same amount as I do. Seems the men make more. And with no children to support, you’d think she’d be able to earn far more.

Now the guys I know who are gay, they make a LOT more.

“For a black man to vote for a Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

Loved that. But, where are the usual chorus of folks telling us that the Democrats are the racist party?

Blacks are mindless drones who vote D for the handouts, that’s all. If a minimum iq of 100 was required to vote the dems would lose the vast majority of their “diverse’ voting bloc.

I suspect in the near future the Log Cabin Repubs will jump ship to the Libertarians. And at least one prominent gay repub, Andrew Sullivan voted for John Kerry.

I always like J.C. Watts’ father who, despite his son’s tenure as the only African-American Republic Party congressman, said:

“For a black man to vote for a Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.”

“”"”KFG,I always wondered about Log Cabin republicans. How could anybody support a party that’s so against their interests? “”"”

Gays tend to be upper income white males so they are torn between supporting a party that, if they were not gay, they would naturally be at home in or supporting a party that is for gay rights.

Agreed again XXX.

But then, I would imagine that the log cabin republicans are waaaaaaayyyy more interested in money than in their own equal treatment under the law.

Why ELSE would they be there?

Hee hee. Ya know the joke about “what is the difference between a lesbian and a dyke”?

About thirty thousand dollars a year…

Thank you. Thank you. I’ll be here all week!

Agreed XXX. Same with gay people.

So much for the party of “the big tent”. Most republicans are closet racists anyway. It always amuses me to see anyone of color support the GOP.

The Republican Party is a mostly white male party and it always has been. As the white male population and influence decline and the black/brown population and influence rise, the Republicans too will decline which will be a good thing. I will predict that the Republican Party will soon be a southern white male party which will have little influence in national politics.

How can Brownback scold or opinionate that they are wrong, if, he refuses to show and do his job on votes, in and/or for Kansas???? He tells others they are wrong for what he his self does?? A Procrastinator for President? 4 Years of no-show if he wins the Presidency. If someone will function in his 4 years of absence, vote them in instead!! Herbert West III, Publisher/Journalist, west.herb@yahoo.com , P.S. Dont just vote forsomeoneelse because they will show up. President Bush has shown us why, for 6 years going on, “Forever”!!

Republicans have long, in effect, written off the black vote as unobtainable, and are currently in a scramble to see how fast they can drive down their Hispanic vote, which was significant in the past, to the same levels. As one who shares views of Republicans on many issues, I think it’s suicidal.

I agree, at a time that the GOP as a brand is hurting and needs to try to gain support instead of riding on the elite minority base that is still supportive of Bush and the Neo-cons. To not of at least giving face time to this debate is a real show that they did not want the support that could have been gained. The King may not need to allow every subject to see them in order to still be the King. But to shun the elective is to say they are no longer of any importance. They forget, in shear numbers whites ARE the minority compared to every other color of skin. And the day will come when the “minorities” will remember that they are the majority.

I am not a fan of Brownback but I do agree with him on this issue. The four top GOP candidates made a major misstep in missing this particular debate.

The Republicans have long thought the Democrat Party takes the minority votes for granted but yet when presented with the golden opportunity to pursue the minorityh votes, the four top Republican candidates snub the minority voters.

This will not be good for the GOP in the general election. If one guy would have not made it, that is a scheduling conflict. But when it is four guys not making it, then it looks suspicious.]

Tavis Smiley has the power clout to keep this issue alive and well in the minds of the minority voters and I expect him to do just that.

Considering his poor showing in the presidential Hopeful field, it is unacceptable that Brownback has missed so many votes.

We need TWO senators representing us, not just one!!

When it comes to appearing in front of television cameras Brownback won’t miss an opportunity.
