No sympathy from me. Save me a front row seat and a bag of popcorn for the show.

So the 45% of the people that voted against Brownback, including me, you want their life to be a living hell I guess?

There are Democrats in Kansas. Make fun of Kansas all you want but try not to wish hell on the Democrats in the state.

10. I'm not making fun of Kansas, I question the intelligence of those who reelected Brownback

Do you disagree that people like that need a taste of their own medicine, to show them how wrong they were? As to those of you who voted for the Democrat having to suffer along with those who chose Brownback:

How do you think we Bluestaters feel when we have to suffer under a Republican congress that we didn't elect?

And believe me if we could punish the GOP voters only I would be in favor of it.

But the issue is there's a lot of poor Democrats in this state also who are going to get the shaft now.

14. I guarantee you if everyone of those Democrats voted, there would be no Brownback

Democrats outnumber Republicans, period. And if they're poor, their vote is the only powerful weapon they have. Next time, they need to get up and vote. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. Moving is not an option for poor folks. But if they don't take advantage of the only tool they do have, they're culpable, too.

9. That is so condescending

Almost half of us voted to get rid of him...and you think that we deserve what is coming to us? Did you deserve George W. Bush? I'm disgusted by this defeat, and to see the lack of empathy on a forum like this is really frustrating.

even though I suspected this was what would happen.

It is going to get mighty uncomfortable for those who are not white, male, straight or christian.

I wonder when the stadium marriages will begin?

8. Not only Kansas

Illinois is following close behind now. Living in a blue state with a Republican Governor, Mayor, Sheriff, isn't right. This is nuts.
