Presidential Hopeful Fun Part 2: Brownback

By Chuck | August 14, 2007

Well, I was working on one of these for Obama but after about 10 or so revisions and rewrites I found it to be a boring blog entry. I just can’t find anything on this guy that makes me cringe. Unless it is revealed that Obama eats babies in order to sustain his power he currently has my vote.
So with an Obama entry scrapped and me being burned out from so much damn typing I figured it was time to hit an easy target. A man who once said that “God wants me to run for President”. A man that says known racist Jesse Helms is his role model.
I present to you:
Senator Sam Brownback

The idea of this guy getting any bit of power over the lives of the American populace makes me cringe. Labeling himself a “social conservative”, he was a sponsor of the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005 and a supporter of the traditional marriage movement. Damn, he does most of my work for me.

His OnTheIssues.org page lays it all out for you to see but I’ll put list some of my favorites just for amusement.

  • Opposes abortion even for women pregnant by rapists.
  • Voted NO on $100M to reduce teen pregnancy by education & contraceptives.
  • Supports marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
  • Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage.
  • Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes.
  • Voted NO on expanding hate crimes to include sexual orientation.
  • Voted NO on maintaining right of habeus corpus in Death Penalty Appeals.
  • Voted YES on making federal death penalty appeals harder.
  • Voted NO on $52M for “21st century community learning centers”.
  • Voted NO on $5B for grants to local educational agencies.
  • Voted NO on shifting $11B from corporate tax loopholes to education.
  • Voted NO on spending $448B of tax cut on education & debt reduction.
  • Voted NO on preserving habeus corpus for Guantanamo detainees
  • Voted YES on reauthorizing the PATRIOT Act.
  • Voted NO on restricting business with entities linked to terrorism.

    • That last one really gets me. This cockholster is insanely pro-war but he votes to keep economic ties with groups linked to terrorism? How in the hell can he justify that? Wait, I got it. I’m guessing he, like Giuliani, is pro-war in hoping to cash in on the bandwagon patriot vote. I think that vote right there shows his true nature. Business trumps all.
    Fuck you Brownback, I hope you get eaten by sharks.

    A vote for this guy guarantees you a punch in the face from me.

      I learned some more about this guy when one of the Scottish heritage forums I belong to list this site…

      the site was originally called baptists for brownback… this kind of stuff scares me… the fact that someone could even have such a narrow minded view…

      Check out this article. Brownback was living in a townhouse paid for by the Fellowship – a secretive Christian Group. Can you say “Bribe” anyone?
