Bob Gorrell for November 11, 2022

The old saying loosely: You cannot expect different results if you keep doing the same thing.

Perhaps the first panel describes a much smaller part of the voting public than Gorrell would like to think. And the second one is accurate. Hey: 50% right is WAY above Bob’s average.

Maybe if your party wasn’t so hell bent on taking human rights away from a majority of the population, they would appeal to more voters, Bob.

Yes, they did elect far too many Republicans.

Thats why republicans chose different candidate because they got nothing from republicans

I guess they weren’t all that much into fascism and trading rights away for the empty promise of lower gas prices.

Or glorious founders created a government nearly impervious to change.

Voters choose Democrats because we know who they are and how they will move the country forward. All anyone knows about Republicans is that they hate and complain about everything Democrat. How far is that going to take you, conservatives?

4/112

Typical,trumper!

If the new stuff is fascism, then I’ll take the same old, same old. Often times, democracy is boring, but safe.

People are not at all happy with Congress. They would like to throw half of them out.

Just not the three who are currently representing them.

What’s the definition of insanity again?

Far too much inbreeding in some states. Cousins marrying cousins and “this” is what you get.

The west coast doesn’t need you at all.

Some people vote for what they know, even though someone else might be better. They’re probably too lazy to go to a neutral site and look at what each candidate offers.

Members in the (Nut) House and Senate are lousy expect our representative of course.

Republicans’ Continuous Campaigning, enabled by Fox “news” and the right wing media structure makes it certain that campaign season is never over.

Prepare to be outraged tomorrow over some issue Republicans will weaponize.

Florida voter, Texas, Indiana, Ohio?

Too many voters divorced from reality, just like Gorrell.

Awww…your team didn’t cover the spread and you’re broke? Too bad.

Yep. Kansans in August ‘22 voted approximately 60-40 to retain state constitutional protections for abortion up to 22 weeks.

Tuesday they elected almost the identical Republican state legislator majority. In the next few days vote counts will be finalized, and it will be determined if there is a GOP supermajority, and if so how large.

If the Republicans have enough votes to override a veto by Democratic Governor Kelly, in Jan ‘23 they will pass legislation at least as restrictive as any passed by other states since Roe was overturned — a ban after 6 weeks is likely.

The voters in this state have voted overwhelmingly Republican since before the Great Depression. It is a habit. Family tradition.

A majority of the state area is rural, and hospitals in those locations have been closing with increasing frequency and private physician practices are also in decline. It is not unusual for rural residents to drive 20 or more miles (one way) to the nearest doctor/dental care.

Kansas is one of 12 states where the Republican legislature has refused to enact Medicaid. Medicaid financial assistance would prevent most, if not all, of these hospital/practice closures.

Kansas reelected a Republican as US Senator. He and the other Senator (a physician, obgyn) both oppose abortion and support Lindsey Graham’s national abortion ban legislation.

The general public in Kansas does not comprehend that the people they vote into state and national legislative opinions are the people who actually craft and pass or reject legislation before it gets to a governor or president to be signed into law.

I think this is true of most, if not all, state’s populations. They think that a governor/president has the powers of a king/emperor. That is not true now. Not yet.

That won’t happen until the next time a Republican wins the Presidency along with a GOP congressional majority, and the United States democratic republic is replaced with totalitarian Christian theocracy.

Well bad is better than worse… so sometimes “more of the same” is the best option.

Have we forgotten the “insane” definition of “mad”?

Mad about what? Crime? Immigration? Inflation? How about actually articulating a policy. Preceded by some analysis (e.g., "rampant crime—where?).

Yep, people who don’t prioritize the same things you do are stupid or evil or both. This illustration was made by the quintessential ideologue.
