Sen. Pat Roberts Won't Reveal How Much Time He Spends In Kansas
Source: Talking Points Memo
Sen. Pat Roberts' (R-KS) office won't release details about how much time the lawmaker spends in the state, after a New York Times story revealed Roberts does not actually maintain a home there.
The Washington Examiner's Byron York reported Tuesday that Roberts' office was clamming up because they feared some groups would find any amount of time he spends in Kansas unacceptable.
"We're not going to release numbers because we're not sure that any number would be acceptable to some of these outside groups," spokeswoman Sarah Little told York after he inquired about how much time Roberts spends in Kansas. "We're worried about what the yardstick is. Who defines how much is enough days in the state?"
-snipping paragraphs before a statement from Roberts that Little released-
The New York Times does not get to define what it means to be a Kansan. Kansas is my home, has always been my home and I never stop working for Kansans. I helped invent the "listening tour" in Kansas which I conduct every Congress and I have been to each of the 105 counties in Kansas time and time again. My campaign has received donations from every county and I have endorsements from all parts of the state. I was in Kansas last week and I will be there next week.

(31,849 posts)If a homeless person can't use the public building nearest to his homeless camp, as his residence for voting purposes, Roberts can use the address of his friends, especially if there is no evidence that he spends any significant time at/any significant ties to that address.
Why would his voting in Kansas not be voter fraud?

Seriously, you either live in the state or you don't. Anyone who says "Who defines how much is enough days in the state" doesn't live in the state

(16,296 posts)I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Mr. Robert's. Obviously the man has Wizard of Ozitis and wandered off on the yellow brick road to the Emarald City (Wash. D.C.) where he did battle with the wicked witch(Obama) and said after battling him, "I clicked my heels, but nothing happened to return me to Kansas".
