Brownback can be quoted on many of the usual republican bitches...anti gay, anti stem cell research. Sam would damn near have to be caught foot taping in a truckstop restroom before this state would start to question his ethics. His constant flip flopping on issues like heath care might be played up as a questionable leader that can't make his own decisions.
I don't know. I have to think there is a plan being developed to discredit him. Maybe one of the big democrat movers and shakers like move-on.org is cooking something up?
http://www.metaphoria.org/ac4t0506f.html He regaled them with discourse on his beliefs concerning the definition of life, marriage, and the church and state relationship. Cornerstone represents Brownback's "base". To get a sense of the nature of his anti-gay, anti-choice base, consider the position of Karen Testerman, the executive director of Cornerstone Policy Research.
In 2003, Testerman told the Associated Press that "gays and lesbians" were comparable to "shoplifters and drug addicts". In the same year, she told the Concord Monitor of her support for "abstinence only" education. She elaborated by stating that "holding hands is the first step", and "you're not even supposed to do that if you can avoid it."-snip-
Brownback is threatening to filibuster the Senate bill that would relax restrictions on federal funding of stem cell research. And ever the dysfunctional statesman, he has his share of idiot moments;
Why not use death row inmates in some sort of positive way?
They are going to be killed. Why not take their body parts, their heart and lungs and eyes, and yet as I say that, doesn't that sound ghoulish? Human life is sacred."
In a further display of his distorted worldview, Brownback had this to say about American voters aged 18 to 25:
"They were born", he said, "when abortion rates were highest, so many of them feel they're the survivors of a holocaust: one in four of their compatriots are not here.'' -snip-
Apparently Brownback has an affinity for surreptitious religious organizations. He maintains a residence in Washington DC in a house owned by C Street Center, a sister organization to a loose coalition of Christian government and business leaders known as the Fellowship. The Fellowship is so secretive that many of its members deny its existence. What is known about Brownback's affiliation with this group is that he pays a heavily subsidized rent of $600.00 per month to live in the Fellowship's house, and that he holds weekly religious meetings with the other five Congressmen who share his quarters. Despite its innocuous appearance, there are dark motives beneath the surface of the Fellowship, sometimes known as the Family. Founder Abraham Vereide's held many fascist viewpoints, and infected many of our nation's leaders with his ideologies as the Fellowship grew in popularity over the years.
