It
is election season and the worst political candidate since Donald Trump is
running lots of ads here in Kansas
They
tell me that insanity is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting
different results. So if Kobach wins, we can easily say that the voters of
Kansas are insane. Of course they use that cliché mainly when it comes to
drinking, warning alcoholics that trying to drink and control it over and over
again, without success is insanity. But drinking makes more sense than voting
for Kobach.
Kobach
says in his ads he wants to limit all school financing to 75 percent for class
room use only. Schools need buss drivers, cooks, and janitors. Do the people of
Kansas really want their children to use bathrooms that aren't cleaned very
often? Kobach has probably never spent much time in an actual school. I work in
a school as a substitute teacher so I could see the results of Brownback’s tax
cuts when he was governor. Unlike me, Kobach doesn't know how schools operate.
The reality of his policies will be disaster.
Kobach
wants to return to all the tax cuts that had to be curtailed after Brownback
instituted them. Kobach says that Brownback didn't implement spending cuts—wrong!
That is exactly what Brownback did and he destroyed much of the states
infrastructure. That includes the destruction of our schools.
Now
is the time to remind people that Kobach wants to finish the hatchet job that
Brownback only started. We don’t need to return to the bad ol’ days—or worse.
Here
is what others are saying about Kris Kobach:
Kansas
Republicans appear to have thumbed their noses at the party establishment on
Tuesday in the primary for governor, failing to persuasively back the sitting
governor, Jeff Colyer, and instead leaving room to elect Kris Kobach, the state’s
secretary of state — and quite possibly the most pernicious public official in
America.
Kobach
is running for governor on a promise to “Make Kansas Great Again.” (#MKGA!) If
it holds up, his primary election win, bolstered by a last-minute endorsement
by Trump, will be another reminder that the political currents that delivered
us this president still rage within the Republican base.
If Donald
Trump has a Midwestern avatar, it is almost certainly Kris Kobach. A former George W. Bush official infamous
for, among other things, toting a “shocking” fake machine
gun in a city parade, Kobach made his name as an early opponent of illegal immigration, an
issue he believes is closely tied to voter fraud. While G.O.P. veterans wrung
their hands at the thought of Kobach becoming their gubernatorial candidate,
Trump positively doted on Kobach, appointing him vice chairman of a commission to
investigate the “millions of people who voted illegally” in 2016,
thereby unjustly robbing him of the popular vote. The commission, of course,
turned up jack squat, with several states ignoring Kobach’s (possibly illegal) demand for their voter I.D.
rolls and the Social Security numbers of their residents.
