How many of you conservatives are routinely called racists by liberals? According to FSD it happens to all conservatives on the reg.
I've never thought that all conservatives were racist just that all racists were conservatives.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
Democrat withdrew because of an affair. I think Roberts is in for a tough fight, but wins.

Kansas election officials said on Thursday that a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate cannot withdraw from the race as he intended, a ruling that could be good news for the Republican incumbent as well as Republican efforts to take control of the U.S. Senate.Democrat Chad Taylor on Wednesday pulled out of the race without explanation, which if allowed could swing a significant number of votes to independent candidate Greg Orman, who is seeking to unseat Republican U.S. Senator Pat Roberts.Orman has been thought to have stronger support in the conservative state than Taylor. Having both Orman and Taylor on the ballot would split the vote for Roberts' opponents.
Kobach said the decision was announced after consultation with office legal staff, adding that partisan politics played no part. The ruling could be challenged in court, he said."This has nothing to do with the party, the law is the law," Kobach said.
It will be interesting to see how many votes Taylor gets.
Kobach said that Taylor failed to provide notice that he is incapable of serving in the Senate, which the law requires. In his brief letter to the secretary of state sent Wednesday, the last day for changes to the ballot, Taylor only said that he was dropping out."We now have no choice but to keep his name on the ballot," Kobach told reporters.
"Yesterday afternoon, I contacted Brad Bryant, Director of Elections and Legislative Matters for the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office, to inquire about the requisite steps needed to terminate my candidacy for United State Senate and to withdraw my name from the ballot," explained Taylor. "Mr. Bryant provided explicit instructions as to the information required in the letter to remove my name. I proceeded to draft and deliver a letter to the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office of Elections, giving notice of my withdrawal from the United States Senate race. I specifically asked Mr. Bryant if the letter contained all the information necessary to remove my name from the ballot. Mr. Bryant said, 'Yes.'"

I mean, Kobach is going to be KS's replacement for Roberts in the future with the full weight of the Reds behind him. Big time stuff.
lol renocat
To be fair, Kobach has far from "handed the race to Roberts", and Kobach was just applying the law as, you know, it's written. Just to be fair.
