Sebelius cast as ‘other woman’

sebelius“As the other woman in the vice-presidential derby, Sebelius is often regarded as a road-company version of Hillary Clinton, a pale reflection of the real thing.” — Salon writer Walter Shapiro, who also described the Kansas governor as “a passionate advocate of political moderation, as oxymoronic as that may seem”

    She can run but she cannot hide:

    Last week Jesse Waters from The O’Reilly Factor confronted Gov. Kathleen Sebelius on the streets of Philadelphia.
    On Monday the segment, ‘The Factor’ confronts four negligent governors, aired:
    On another note, we were curious what Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius thought of recent criminal charges against Dr. George Tiller, so-called named “Tiller the Baby Killer.” As “The Factor” has been reporting, this man will terminate fetuses at any time for $5,000.
    (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
    WATTERS: Hey, governor, how are you? It’s Jesse Watters with “The O’Reilly Factor” from FOX News.
    GOV. KATHLEEN SEBELIUS, D-KAN.: Hi. How are you?
    WATTERS: How are you? Hey what are you…
    SEBELIUS: We’re going here?
    WATTERS: What do you think about Dr. George Tiller?
    SEBELIUS: I don’t think anything about Dr. George Tiller.
    WATTERS: You know, the late-term abortion doctor in your state?
    SEBELIUS: Yes.
    WATTERS: You don’t have an opinion of him?
    SEBELIUS: He’s a health care provider in Kansas.
    WATTERS: You know, he was largely not indicted because of a technicality in Kansas law.
    SEBELIUS: There was a grand jury who found no charges to bring against him.
    WATTERS: You know, there was a lot of evidence there that he was performing illegal late-term abortions and covering up instances of child rape.
    (END VIDEO CLIP)
    O’REILLY: He’s a health care provider according to Governor Sebelius. Well, Tiller himself donated money to her campaign. She doesn’t seem to be real upset about this guy operating a death mill, which is exactly what it is in her state, does she?

    Who donated money to her to allow SRS and the DA’s office to take the children of Kansas without due process and on false affidavits? Why are the courts for sale in Kansas? Why doesn’t she rein in SRS and Nola Foulston and her thug ADAs? Who is responsible for the unbelievable number of children in Foster care in Kansas? Why is Sedgwick County the Child Removal Capitol of the United States? Why are the people of Kansas not up in arms?

    Is it because a child born or unborn has no value in Kansas or are they just a cash crop?

    “a passionate advocate of political moderation,”

    Wow, that sounds like a perfect match for Barack “LOVE me!” Obama.

    Senator Clinton MUST be asked first if she wants the VP slot.

    Then and only then would I consider voting Obama.

    For now? I’ve no reason to vote for Obama, against McCain, or even to vote at all.

    Does anyone in Ohio really give a darn that she is the daughter of former governor Gilligan?
    And, even if they do, Gilligan lost his last election bid, due to income tax issues.

    Obama used to live in Kansas. Will that help him much in November?

    Will Sebelius help at all, in Kansas? Is Kansas a prize worthy of the cost?

    There will be a cost.

    Obama will be married to George Tiller if Obama picks Sebelious. Count on that.

    In Kansas, we are getting a bit coarsened, and used to Tiller. The rest of the country is not going to like our governor’s cozy relationship with Tiller and the rest of the abortion industry.

    Sebelious is Hillary without Bill.

    Sebelious IS with George (Tiller).
