Why do the people of Kansas vote Republican? Why does anyone in the US vote Republican?
It's become a kind of disease. It's like de-evolution. People turn to primate instincts and listen to sound bites rather than actually look at the facts.
*Off shore drilling is bad for the environment, will produce only a few drops of gas, not affect the price at the pump, but Even Barak Obama won't argue this with his Republican rival.
*The War in Iraq never had anything to do with 9-11. Don't tell the Republicans and their voters. They just want to see us shoot someone – anyone!
*Rich people and congresspersons fight our wars from their pulpit, in safety, including their families, while poor and working people get sent off to batte and may come back missing limbs or in a coffin.

"Roberts Votes Against Defense Authorization Bill
Opposes pay raise and improvements in health care for troops"
Senator Pat Roberts voted with Republicans Thursday night to block the Defense Authorization Bill. The bill would have authorized appropriations for fiscal year 2009 for military activities of the Department of Defense.
"I'm disappointed with Sen. Roberts failure to vote for this bill and demonstrate his support for our troops," Slattery said. "After 40 years in Washington, Sen. Roberts misplaced priorities amaze me."
The bill included a pay raise for troops.
"At a time when we are asking so much of our troops, they deserve a well earned increase in pay," Slattery said.
Also included in the bill were improvements in health care for troops and their families, including a rejection of a proposed fee increase by President Bush.
"We must ensure that the men and women who serve our country and their families receive the health care they need," Slattery said.
"Sen. Roberts rejection of this bill is indefensible and demonstrates how desperately Kansans need a new senator in Washington who is committed to change."
