After the barrage of emails and comments this morning, I had to ask myself, "Who Am I?" much like Derek did as he looked at a reflection of himself in a puddle in the movie "Zoolander", you know, the guy who started the "Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too."
On a more serious note, I am a former student of Sue Boldra's who supports her bid for Congress. The views that Sue holds and the views I am promoting on this site are views that Sue Boldra gave as a professor and helped shape my political views.
This site is humorous because I believe that politics are far too often too stuffy, and if we want to appeal to a younger generation of voters we have to make it somewhat entertaining. By making this site entertaining, it is my hope that more young people will take interest in politics and especailly Sue's run for Congress.
Furthermore, it is important that the Republican Party returns to its roots, and Sue Boldra, I believe, is the person who can help lead the charge by returning to a key principle of the Republican Party which I believe reasonates most to your average Kansas voter: limited government.
Give everyone the ability to live their lives the way they want.
Give women control over their bodies. Kansas has become a hot spot in the battle over abortion, and by the 1st District electing Sue Boldra, we will prove that even rural Kansans can agree on such a controversial issue. She can become a voice on this key issue to women across Kansas.
Give people the right to marry the person they love. This issue especially resonates with young people who have grown up in broken homes of heterosexual couples and are now discovering what real love is -- and that it isn't necessarily between straights.
I guess I would best describe myself as a libertarian, and I think that is the best way to describe Sue Boldra given the views she shared in class. I remember going through her class not really knowing where she stood politically... in fact, most of us thought she was a liberal. I think that is a really good quality in a candidate, to not really know exactly where they stand. It shows confidence as a free thinker.
The two Tims, Barker and Huelskamp, and Wassyinger, are not free-thinkers, they are simply opportunists who are going to tell voters what they think they want to hear.
So that's who I am. Who are you anonymous commenters?
Kansans for Sue Boldra would like to congratulate our governor, Kathleen Sebelius, in her nomination to serve in President Obama's cabinet as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
We are thrilled that a woman will be joining Hillary R. Clinton in one of the highest federal positions in our nation.
Gov. Sebelius has a record of strongly supporting a woman's right to choose and standing up to fellow Catholics who question her faith because of her support of a sacred Constitutional right.
We believe Sue Boldra is the next Kathleen Sebelius who will make women proud in Kansas and ultimately become a national political player.
Unlike Sebelius, who puts principle before nutsy religion, Sue Boldra's opponents will instead use their "faith" to promote their political agenda.
Already, Rob "Wassy" Wasinger has gained endorsements from anti-choice religious zealots such as Frank Pavone, who is a popular priest within the anti-choice movement, and Mr. Bobby Schindler, brother of Terri Schiavo who fought the right of Terri's husband to make health-care decisions for his wife. The Kansas01 blog is also reporting that Wassy has earned the endorsement of David Barton, who boasts as "one of the most 25 influential Evangelicals in the country." Ugh. Wasinger also has 9 children, which is a bit much if you ask me.
Tim Huelskamp has also thrown himself to the religious right, receiving the endorsement of "Concerned Women of America." Incidentially, the so-called "women's organization" is apparently ran by a man, as their press release urges people to contact a certain "Mike Mears" for more information. Hmmm.... guess they couldn't find any more concerned women. It doesn't end there, as he has also gained the support of Mike YUCKabee, who after discovering he could lose weight to make millions used a subliminal cross in a campaign ad to appeal to religious nuts in Iowa.
Tim Barker has made no appeals nor has received any endorsements from the religious right... but then again, I am not sure he has found any support past his immediate family, who filled his campaign coffers after he realized that federal campaigns can't accept corporate contributions.
If you want someone who will make both center-left Republicans and Democrats proud in the mold of Kathleen Sebelius, join us in supporting Sue Boldra in a potential bid for Congress.
Earlier today on the Kansas01 blog reporting on our website, a commenter posted:
Pro-gay marriage? Pro-abortion? Carrying on the Clinton legacy? Is she running as a democrat or republican? I thought another republican was getting into the race.
In response, of course Sue Boldra is a Republican. She is more of a Republican than Wasinger, Huelskamp, and Barker will ever be.
The difference is this: Sue Boldra believes that people make the best decisions on how to govern their own moral lives, not the government. Isn't that a Republican value? Shouldn't it be? The government has no right to tell women what to do with their bodies, nor do they have any right to tell a woman that she must marry a man in order to be recognized in society as being "married."
The Republican Party lost its way because it has promoted candidates who appeal to so-called "values voters." In order to rebuild our party we must be able to appeal to everyone in the spectrum. The next generation of voters WILL favor women's reproductive rights, and we must appeal to them. Being "pro-life" and "pro-marriage" are things of the past.
I am, however, glad that the commenter couldn't tell if Sue Boldra is a Republican. That is a good sign that she doesn't fit the profile of a modern-day Republican candidate. That is why we want her to enter the race in the first place!
Welcome to Kansans for Sue Boldra!
So far in the race for the "Big First," we have nothing but conservative nuts.
We have State Senator Tim Huelskamp, who wants to kick all the illegal "aliens" out.
We have Rob "Wassy" Wasinger, who has been endorsed by anti-choice leaders such as Fred Thompson, Frank Pavone, Bobby Schindler, etc. etc., you get the drift.
We have Tim Barker, who is apparently only interested in blogging about nutrition in his race.
If you want a serious candidate, Sue Boldra is your woman.
If you want a candidate who will proudly represent ALL of us in the Republican Party, even those who believe in the right to choose and the right to marry, Sue Boldra is your woman.
If you believe that men overrepresent women in politics and you want to continue the legacy of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sue Boldra is your woman.
If you are sick of the politics of Jerry Moran and Sam Brownback, Sue Boldra is your woman.
If you believe that marriage should be between two people who love each other and nothing else, Sue Boldra is your woman.
Sue is a long-time teacher who believes in the right of a public education for all, and will oppose all school vouchers for those who want to avoid public education.
