Republicans Leading Generic Ballot

Republicans lead Democrats in a test of generic congressional matchups, a new poll found Thursday.

42 percent of likely voters said they would prefer a generic Republican candidate for Congress versus 38 percent who said they would prefer a generic Democrat, according to a Bloomberg News poll released yesterday.

16 percent said they were unsure who they'd support, while four percent answered not voting.

Dennis Moore: The Coward of Kansas

Across the nation, we've seen Democrats stand up at town halls and get screamed at by Americans who are fed up with their government overreaching and ignoring the will of the people. I'll give it to Dems like Claire McCaskill and Barney Frank who actually stand up there and take it. Our elected officials WORK FOR US and we have a right to be heard on the pressing issues of the day.

Unfortunately, our own Kansas coward, Dennis Moore, continues to hide from his constituents, saying his life has been threatened and now his staff has worked up an even more embarrassing excuse: fire codes.

Yup, fire codes were allegedly the reason Moore canceled an overcrowded town hall event yesterday. He was supposed to have a panel to "discuss senior health issues" but, oops -- too many people showed up and Dennis had to say sorry folks, maybe next time.

Not sure who is more to blame -- Moore's incompetent staff or Moore for his pathetic excuses. Luckily he won't be able to hide from the ballot in 2010 unless he takes the coward way out and doesn't run...which, let's just say, we've heard from credible rumors that's the case.

After voting for cap and trade, the stimulus, supporting a government takeover of health care, sponsoring the big union "card check" legislation, AND ignoring his constituents, this is the year to give Dennis Moore the boot!

UPDATE: Congressman Moore turned away nearly 1,000 seniors who showed up to ask questions about health care reform. Sad.

Welcome to What's Right With Kansas

You won't hear it from bitter liberals in Kansas, the Media, or elitists on the East and West Coasts, but there's a lot that's RIGHT with Kansas.

We are here to talk about Kansas government, politics, elections and policy.

Ever since the 2006 elections, many predicted Kansas was turning purple. Since then, things have only become more red and in 2010, the GOP is looking to pick up even more crucial seats.

With Kathleen Sebelius finally out of our state and in Washington fumbling health care, the Democrats are scrambling to find their next savior. We'll be talking about several of the
"up and coming" Democrats, as well as Republicans that are running in 2010.

We firmly believe Kansans are an honest, decent, compassionate people and are quick defenders of liberty and freedom. We hope to bring insight into Kansas politics, reveal who are the movers and shakers, all while providing entertaining commentary on the news of the day. Come back soon and we look forward to hearing from you!
