McCain didn’t sweep Kansas

mccainthumbsupIt turns out that Kansas didn’t escape the 2008 blue tide after all: John McCain took the state’s electoral votes, of course. But according to a Swing State Project analysis, the 3rd Congressional District voted for Barack Obama over McCain 51 to 48 percent. That district, which consists of Johnson and Wyandotte counties and part of Douglas County, has long been represented by Democrat Dennis Moore in Congress, but went with George Bush in 2000 and 2004.

    Gee, like this indepth analysis wasn’t available on November 12.

    Talk to some of those Johnson County fatcats who voted for Obama today and ask if they’d vote the same way.

    The third district is corrupted by the Missouri wannabe’s and political ruffians. The only thing Kansan about the third district is they have Kansas license plates on their automobiles. It’s like an alien planet up there with all the goat-headed, neo-fascists.

    Phill Kline, from Johnson County, wasn’t goat-headed. Horns, yes; but no beard.

    What do you expect from the bums in WyCo? They’re like that idiot in Florida who expect the Naive Messiah to pay for their mortgage and gas. Missouri ought to annex WyCo east of the Speedway and merge KCK with KCMO. That way, no more confusion over Kansas City. And Kansas can excise the cancerous lesion which is most of KCK. Try driving down K-5 through town. You’ll fear for your life.

    I’m sure most of those white liberal feel-good morons would take their vote back if they knew the Naive Messiah would be nothing more than a puppet of Tsarina Pelosi and Archduke Reid, they wouldn’t have committed suicide by pulling the lever for the Black Panther wannabe.

    Regular, I would gladly trade in my Kansas plates – if Kansas will allow the eastern third of the state to secede from the State.

    It would be nice to keep our dollars for ourselves, instead of supporting the rest of the state with them.

    Not to surprising…after all you have the usual big city leftists and the usual diversity crowd of gimmees and where is my gubment check crowd. Both of which are his biggest supporters.

    And they are receiving their goodies now in the new bail outs and budgets and tax increases.

    So we are back to Socialism as Trickle UP Poverty.

    We will see how that works once all the entrepeneurs hide or stop generating tax money…heh.
