Kansas State Senate GOP Plan an Election-Year Conversion?
This is a great editorial except for that question mark in the headline - there’s no question that this is a temporary pragmatic conversion in an attempt to save their seats. If these tea party bozos are re elected then they will return right back to grandstanding and theater for the national stage for personal benefit while they run our state right into the ground and beyond. There’s nothing in their current plan that tells me that they aren’t still enamored of Laffer curve economic mythology, and my read is that they will continue to champion that above all else.
It’s good that 26 GOP state senators and candidates now acknowledge that “Kansas is on the wrong track.” And that they now seem at least somewhat open to changing direction on state tax policies.
But a plan they unveiled last week smacks of an election-year conversion.
After all, many of these incumbents not only set Kansas on its current track, they stubbornly refused to admit their policies weren’t working, despite the clear evidence.
It wasn’t until conservative Republicans suffered major defeats in the August primary that many of them suddenly saw the light.
