I wonder how many of those questions were, "Do you support more $$ for education? How much?"

On Frank endorsed

Um, not to mention that you're talking about U.S. Reps and Senators voting for war funding and Mast is a STATE Rep. So, glad I could clear that up for you.

On Strickland is wrong

Amazing. "Education is the only one that counts." Try again.

Anyone that think law enforcement and the National Guard is 'wasteful spending' is not reasonable. Perhaps next time you're in need to some help, like an ambulance or if you're assaulted, you'll think twice about funding those that protect and help us.

esustudent indeed. Our future is very scary.

On Explanation of vote

Posted on October 26 at 12:10 p.m.

"The issues considered include deferred maintenance, annual budgets, grant funding, scholarships, faculty salaries and other items."

Let's see, how many times can we say give us more money or we'll flunk you?

On Education group grades legislators

While seniority is important, I would have to say that it wouldn't get my vote. However, I'll still vote for Peggy because she helped me a couple of years back when I was having problems with a state agency. Come to find out at the time, I didn't even live in her district. I asked her if she knew that and she said yea, I knew that...and she still went out of her way to help me. She could have very easily passed me off to Don Hill or someone else, but she didn't. People like that are very few and far between now-a-days.

I'm glad our move to another part of town put us in her district. It'll be my privilege to vote for her.

On Carol Strickland files to run for Kansas House

I'm sure Peggy, like myself, is getting tired of everything being about more money for education. You got an extra $1 billion, how much more do you want? Peggy does a great job and cares about her district. She'll have my vote.

On Primary set for Mast's seat

Why is Coldsmith so obsessed with abortion? It seems like every other column is about abortion.

I'm begining to think he had an abortion.

On Election time

AMEN!!!

On Blames the governor

Posted on June 15 at 1:11 p.m.

Did anybody see a correction printed in the Gazette about the whole "2nd amendment" thing? I continue to be shocked they didn't catch that. I mean, it is the part of the constitution that guarantees their right to free press as well, you'd think they'd have that one at least memorized. I mean, 19th vs. 9th, I can see somebody messing that up, but 1st vs 2nd...

I guess it just depends on which part of the amendment you want to read...

On Religion and politics

Actually, my question was more like: If you believe a viable fetus is a person and it is aborted, is it murder?

Why do you keep asking me about "God's will?" When did I bring that up? I've said countless times I specifically discuss abortion in societal terms, not religious ones. And so far I have. Why the obsession with religion?

And sorry about the 'you'll cut it out just like a tumor.' I meant that to be a general you, not YOU specifically M.

My point remains the same from my first post...if a person views it as tissue, it's just a part of your body to cut out...if it's a separate, living breathing person, they'll view it as murder.

I'm sorry my explanation didn't satisfy you, M, but I kind of figured it wouldn't.
