“Do-Nothing” Republicans

Kansas Republicans are setting a new bar for legislative lethargy.

First, under their failed leadership the Appropriations Committee has yet to produce any budget-balancing recommendations.  Next, not content to simply do nothing some are attempting to nullify the hard work and actions of others through the Freedom From Healthcare Act.

Now, they've stopped showing up to do their job.  With so little going on, it was only a matter of time before Republican legislators realized they didn't need to be there to get nothing done.   The Topeka Capitol Journal is reporting on the culture of absences and tardiness that GOP leadership has allowed to develop in the state legislature:

Tom Holland for Kansas

Today, State Senator Tom Holland announced his candidacy for Governor in front of Lowman Hills Elementary School in Topeka with his family and supporters behind him. He pledged to fight tooth and nail against Sam Brownback and Brownback’s assumption that this race is already over. Tom Holland is going to give him a run for his Washington establishment money.

Tom acknowledged that Brownback has plenty of support and experience outside of Kansas. But is that what Kansans want? A career Washington politician stopping through Kansas for a stint as Governor on his way to running for President (again)? Or do Kansans want a local small business owner and family man who knows how to create jobs?

Kansas Republican: "Partisanship is Good"

Who needs independence?  Not Scott Schwab.  Today he revealed how he makes his decision on Election Day:

Rep. Scott Schwab, R-Olathe, questioned what was so bad about partisan races. He said partisan races help voters understand what the candidates stand for.

When races are nonpartisan, he said, "that kinds of makes the election worse because then I don't know what I'm voting for or voting against."
