Well damn, Moran won't run for governor

And I was so ready. This would have been the most fun campaign ever.


Wednesday, August 3

Topeka - U.S. Rep. Jerry Moran said he won't seek the Republican nomination for governor next year to challenge Democratic Gov. Sebelius. His announcement left House Speaker Doug Mays as the only serious GOP contender in the race. Moran cited family reasons in his decision to seek re-election.

Doug Mays is bound to take up the slack. :hi:

Moran is such a better name to pimp.

But the article in The Star said he has gone back and forth changing his mind about running, so he may yet decide to run. Gawd, I hope so. He sounds like such a twit and he has the best repuke name ever.

:hi:

but Doug Mays is SUCH an idiot. He will be fun to mess with too. I just did not want you to be depressed, the Repubs here are just too easy to make fun of. Remember last election? Man that was fun.

Did you hear about the Science Committee report? There was a big article in The Star today. The conservatives made fools of themselves at a meeting yesterday. One of them threw such a tantrum he got hisself kicked out of the meetin. hee hee

I don't know much about Mays except he seems to be another party before state/country guy. He has been around for a long time. I will find out what I can the next time I am around all my "in the state politcal know" friends. I hate to admit it but my state wide knowledge is all about one issue right now and that is keeping me real, REAL busy these days.

is the guy they asked to leave the meeting. He's a lawyer and an intell design advocate. He is working with a guy who is a professor in the school of med at UMKC. (Remind me to ask my doctor where HE went to med school).

husband went to med school.

Yes, I have read about Calvert. This is such a fucking mess, what in the hell are we going to do? Do you have any ideas?

Then we just HAVE TO organize and come up with a plan to get those conservative idiots off the state board.

Here is a little tidbit I found about Kathy Martin:
Board member Kathy Martin, the out-spoken former teacher from Clay Center, Kansas, minces no words about her agenda or her tenuous grasp of the facts. In an interview with the Clay City paper, Ms. Martin said, "Evolution has been proven false. Intelligent Design is science-based and strong in facts." Going further, she stated, "Man has changed and evolved, but we are not going to change back into monkeys." Giving an enthusiastic “thumbs up” to the Religious Right when asked if Intelligent Design was a form of Creationism, she commented, "Of course this is a Christian agenda. We are a Christian nation. Our country is made up of Christian conservatives. We don't often speak up, but we need to stand up and let our voices be heard." Ms. Martin saved her most revealing dictum for last. "Why shouldn’t theology be taught in the classroom? Morality ought to be taught in every class. Prayer ought to be allowed. Whenever a child wanted to pray in class, I prayed with them. All children believe in God. Even little children whose parents don't take them to church believe in God."
