Kansas vote was much
different from nation

Wichita Eagle [KS], by Bob Beatty

Original Article

Posted By:wildcat1, 11/27/2012 12:19:36 PM

Kansas has gone for the Republican nominee for president since 1968, and 2012 was no different. Mitt Romney defeated President Obama by 22 percentage points (60 to 38 percent) in the Sunflower State, an increase of 8 percentage points over GOP nominee John McCain’s vote share in 2008. Nationally, Obama defeated Romney by 3.3 percent (50.8 to 47.5 percent).

Comments:
The print mediots in Kansas scream and complain about how Kansas needs more moderates. The voters, thank goodness, ignore them. Kansas is doing just fine in spite of all you read in the Eagle, and most of the far left wing comments after the articles.

Does Kansas have voter id and a method to make vote fraud difficult and dangerous to the parties committing it?

I am curious to know how Romney did in Garden City, Kansas as that is heavily Hispanic due to the beef industry and packing plants in that area. Did he carry that city and county?

#1 yes indeed Kansas has a voter ID law that was drafted by the attorney general Chris Kobach. He also helped draft the same legislation for other states including Arizona. Of course the idiotlibs call him a racist. I am a born and bred Kansan and love this state.

#2 Romney got 67% of the vote in Finney county where Garden City is. Only two Kansas counties went for Obama, Douglas where Kansas University is and Wyandotte where mostly minorities live. Even liberal Johnson county, an effluent suburb of Kansas City went for Romney 67% to 30%

Apologies for the second post, but wanted to thank #4 for the info. I wondered if Johnson County went for Romney, but am not surprised they went conservative this year. They are the county that pushed Sebelius over the finish line each time.

Texas got it right too. But what does it matter? We are all still going to get reamed over and over again for the next four years by a NØbama administration that doesn´t have to worry about getting re-elected.

I really am hoping that NØbamacare includes lots of free Vaseline for all the reaming we are going to be taking the next four years...

Romney´s message was amazingly well received in Kansas.
He won every single category by huge amounts-except for unmarried women.
Obama won that sub group by 19 points, nationally his number was 36 %.
Romney beat McCain´s numbers in KS by 8 points.
In politically diverse and affluent Johnson County ,
Romney beat Obama by 17 points.
Romney obviously did everything right for the overwhelming majority of voters in Kansas.
From the rural farm areas to the upscale suburbs-they got it.
If the electorate was made up of Kansans ( and South Dakotans and Oklahomans .., etc, )
we would have a new president.

Another key is the last line of defense from Obama - our state legislatures and governors - if they have the stones for it.

In NC, our gov is now GOP and our legislature heavily so - but they are not great conservatives.

Hubby and I have lived in several different states during past years and have noticed something about the media which occures in every local area, which is, the local affiliates, reflecting the TV alphabets´ adenda, try to influence the people living there that their happy, satisfying & productive lives are too old fashioned, too out of step and are falling behind the entire rest of the country in just about every way. The lsm acts like one of those terrible parents who plays one child against another! We have always heard, no matter where we are, things like, ´our city MUST have light rail or whatever because Portland has it,´ and our university MUST teach the new social mores to keep up with the Ivy Leagues, and so on, yada, yada, yada. The current lsm apparently won´t be satisfied until everything that makes America exceptional and each state & locality is homoginized into, er, ...WHAT exactly?!!!

Beautiful Kansas is in the heart of America and it still authentically in general represents the values and traditions which have contributed to making the USA great and free. Innovative business & scientific advances are encouraged as are its lovely, well tended & thriving family neighborhoods, schools and farms. These successes apparently make Kansas, (and Missouri!), a natural target for local & national dem-media aggitators who constantly tell the locals that they aren´t, ´keeping up with the Jone´s,´ in NYC.

It is the dems´ lsm which is out of step, NOT the Kansas voters!

This makes me question the validity of the voting methods of all states even more.
The liberal cheats probably forgot there was a Kansas and didn´t think to send in their goons. An oversight..
I can no longer trust the integrity of the vote process.

To continue with the posting theme: Alabama went for Romney over 60%, with some counties counting over 70% R. The exception to the voting pattern was a strip of counties in south Alabama which have predominately poor, uneducated, black populations. Oh, and Jefferson County (Birmingham) as well. Madison County in North Alabama went less than 60% for Romney, but then again, there we have quite a few Yankees who work for NASA and Redstone Arsenal

Two months of record-setting applications for permits to carry concealed handguns has put a strain on the state’s ability to handle those requests as quickly as required by law. State law requires the applications be approved or denied within 90 days. “We are processing applications right at the 90-day statutory requirement,” Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Monday. For a second consecutive month, the state received a record number of applications. Schmidt’s office reported that 3,573 applications were filed in February. That surpasses the previous one-month record

TOPEKA — The Senate approved a bill Thursday requiring drug testing for welfare and unemployment benefit recipients — as well as lawmakers — suspected of drug use. The 31-8 vote, mostly along party lines, advances Senate Bill 149 to the House. Gov. Sam Brownback has been non-committal about his support for the concept of testing welfare recipients. The proposal calls for drug tests whenever state officials have reasonable suspicion that someone receiving or applying for welfare or unemployment benefits is using drugs.

TOPEKA — A Kansas House committee has endorsed legislation to restrict political fundraising by public employee unions. The measure would prohibit groups representing teachers and government workers from automatically deducting money from members´ paychecks to finance political activities. Public employees still could contribute to public labor organizations, but would have to submit a payment instead of having the amount deducted straight from a paycheck.

Time for 2nd Amendment

Even if the adopters of the Second Amendment intended it as protection against their own government – at best a long reach in both logic and the historical record – it does not provide the absolutism the extremist wing of the gun lobby claims for it. Yet every word and act by the leaders of such organizations as the National Rifle Association occurs within that false frame, and as a result, any discussion of ways to make our lives safer begins in an atmosphere of raw emotion wrapped in groundless fear.

TOPEKA — Some call him “Pastor Sam.” He occasionally evokes a preacher’s tone while citing lengthy Bible passages to a crowd of worshippers. And he openly embraces the Lord in the Capitol, praying with lawmakers, priests and ordinary Kansans. Through his bold promotion of Christianity and faith-based programs, Gov. Sam Brownback has brought religion into the public sphere more than any governor in generations. It has heartened some, while drawing criticism from others who see it as a threat to the separation of church and state.

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback started 2012 with the political winds at his back. As the year went on, the breeze only got stronger. At the start of 2013, it may be a full-on gale. Pushed by the conservative governor, Kansas lawmakers approved massive income tax cuts in 2012 that supporters insist would stimulate the economy. Then in August, conservative Republicans ousted House and Senate moderates in the GOP primaries, paving the way to easy November wins and setting Brownback up with a can´t-lose majority for the upcoming legislative session in January.

If Gov. Sam Brownback were a poker player, his opening bid likely would be all-in on every hand. (Snip) So which strategy would the governor take when it came down to the final hand on Kansas’ role in the new health care environment? One option is that states can establish their own exchanges. However, Brownback already rejected more than $30 million in federal money to build the technological backbone for the exchange. Option two is for the state and the federal government to split the responsibilities. While states are on the hook for any money beyond the federal grant to the partnership,the state

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school.
