It should be noted that Kansas, currently suffering under the weight of a heavily conservative government, chose the most conservative candidate on the ballot. Full steam ahead, say Kansas voters.

When I went to caucus for the democratic election someone from the kansas democratic party was there and said they identified dstrcts where davis won vs brownback and they hope to take some of those districts so they can fight brownback. Pretty wishful thinking on their part but at least they have a plan. I was actually surprised how many democrats live in my small rear end town kind of felt good.

I am not surprised at all that Bernie did well in KS in a primary with only one other candidate (representing the status quo), in the general election, lol no.

In the latest saga of the slow strangulation of every service the state provides, Kansas finds itself another $290 m short for their budget for the next fiscal year! Surely you say, after the last 2 or 3 years of Brownback's tax cuts creating budget deficits everyone would recognize the policies need work. Not so fast! Instead, they've floated 3 options, the first of which is to raid the highway fund, again for another $185 million, which would put the amount redirected out of the fund to well over a billion dollars. Option 2 is to sell off the majority of the tobacco settlement money the state receives to get a one time cash payment. Basically the state equivalent of going to JG Wentworth. Option 3 is to delay paying into the state pension fund, always a great idea that doesn't lead to bad consequences at all. Plus there's the assorted cuts to education, again. Really guys the job creators are coming any day, he promises! Instead of waiting for Godot, it's waiting for Galt.

Also, apparently the GOP in Kansas are sick of the Supreme Court getting all up in their business and are close to passing Senate Bill 439, which would expand their ability to impeach Kansas Supreme Court Justices for vaguely worded poo poo like "attempting to subvert fundamental laws" or "attempting to usurp the power of the Legislature." Essentially, it gives their Legislature veto power over the Supreme Court. http://www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/article73847852.html

Just to revive this thread, some shady goings on with certain KS GOP members having financial data prior to entering a debate about the budget. http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/yael-t-abouhalkah/article75291882.html

It's almost as if the whole tax revenue debate they've had the last 5 years has all been in bad faith and it's a knowing attempt to sacrifice public schools, the highway fund, and pensions on the Altar of Austerity. It totally has been this whole time, but still.

I'm curious what would have happened if Virginia had gone Republican in the last Governor election. We have an assembly full of fuckers and the Cooch would have been a nightmare mix of austerity politics and religious fanaticism but the military contractors, D.C suburbanites, and the companies and lobbyists they represent in Northern Virginia probably wouldn't stand for this sort of economic meltdown just to push an ideological point. If Hillary just had Mcauliffe get out and say "hey I saved your state from THAT and she's my buddy" it's all she would need to secure my vote.

It was for a job actually, and will likely only last a few more years. I do think Lawrence is fine though. KC is also ok. Seafood sucks though. Also I can't find any good Mexican restaurants. Also the abortion stuff is pretty horrifying.

When I first moved back to KS from Colorado I dated a girl who lived in Westport. I had no idea why all her friends treated me like poo poo until I heard one of her friends saying "I can't believe you would date some rich rear end in a top hat from JoCo." (I'm neither rich nor an rear end in a top hat) So in short not all of Johnson County is like that, but the few that are, are super annoying.

Also Johnson county is deep deep blue island in the sea of red that is the state political spectrum. It's only natural for the "rich liberal elitist rear end in a top hat" slur to form against Johnson County from the rest of the state.
