For a lot of Repubs a sound bite goes a long way. It doesn’t need to be accurate, right, logical, or even legal. It just has to sound good for the repub sheeple to go along and accept it as gospel truth. Esp. if they hear of it on Fox news.This is the nugget of offal republicans use to win elections. Convince the stupid that the sound bite is the truth.
Democrats are limited by their need to be accurate, clear, and correct. Voters don’t care … they vote based on “hear say”, sound bites, and emotion … not logic, information, or evidence based reality.
Republican Gov. Sam Brownback vowed Monday to defend Kansas’ ban on same-sex marriage.
I really don’t understand what part of self-righteous these holy rollers don’t get. Of course, it is just plain blasphemy against the human process. Making others wrong does not make these folks right. It is tawdry and evolving faster than the Earth’s climate is changing. But go for it, Sam, play it again.
Davis should run ads with pictures of closed schools (and there are a lot of them in Kansas) with a caption of a quote of Brownback saying he increased funding to education. “Oh really governor? Stop lying to Kansas.”
“Nothing I can do.” Um, you could support it.
Funny how “states rights” is always state’s rights to oppress somebody.
Brownback neglected to mention that he would end up spending a whole lot of tax-payer dollars to “defend the constitution” even though it is pretty clear that these state-enacted bans are prima facie un-constitutional in these here United States. At least the other guy had the honesty to point out that the handwriting is on the wall already-even if that isn’t what a lot of Kansas voters want to hear.
As our former Governor, Jesse “The Mind” Ventura, said, “What do you care what they do?”
Davis should have countered with a prepared soundbite of his own.
Not “nothing we can do” but something more like “I will defend the freedoms of all Americans and focus on things that actually matter to most Kansas voters.”
“70% of Kansans voted for this”. Not really, 70% of those who voted, voted for it. What percentage of eligible Kansans voted at all?
