Great news: Republicans are running in every one of the 22 state representative seats in Johnson County. On June 7, I wrote how there was not yet a candidate in District 24, where GOP County Chair Ronnie Metsker resides. I said that he should run, if nobody else will. An update: Republicans have a candidate — Michael Foltz from Roeland Park — though I don’t yet know | Read More »
This past weekend, my political action committee Kansans for Government Reform commissioned a survey in Johnson County and in the 4th Congressional District. Here are the results for four questions — 3rd District Republican primary, 4th District Republican primary, Sam Brownback’s approval rating, and the ideological breakdown of Republican primary voters. Note that for budgetary reasons we did not survey the entire 3rd District, but | Read More »
Todd Tiahrt, please read this article by conservative Danedri Herbert at Red County — she isn’t a fan of you nor Jerry Moran, and that’s a big, big problem for you. I am a Todd Tiahrt supporter. I’ll be voting for him in the August 3 primary, but I’m concerned that it will be the final time I vote for Tiahrt. I haven’t run a | Read More »
I thought it would be good to bring back this photo from Blogs for Bauer. Helen Thomas is making news, rather than reporting it. Just two days ago, Thomas called Israel a terrorist state, according to Big Journalism. And now this video; the video dialogue: Rabbi Nessenoff: Any comments on Israel? We’re asking everbybody today, any comments on Israel? Helen Thomas: Tell em to get the | Read More »
“Learning comes first” at Johnson County Community College. Or something. Click here to listen to this interview at the previous Red County article, in which I’ve included the YouTube audio of the Darla Jaye program from Friday, May 28. Below is the transcript from the Darla Jaye program on Friday night, May 28, 2010. Darla Jaye spent the full first hour during the 6-7 p.m. slot discussing | Read More »
Below is the YouTube audio recording from the Darla Jaye program on Friday night, May 28, 2010. Darla Jaye spent the full first hour during the 6-7 p.m. slot discussing the latest scandal at JCCC under President Terry Calaway and Board Chair Jon Stewart.

In summary: In 2008, Kansans for Life endorsed Kevin Yoder, but only because he was better than his Democratic opponent, and not because he was fully pro-life. Kansans for Life should today clarify this, for 3rd District pro-life Republican voters. For first-time readers, I would like to briefly highlight what I’ve written before in detail here and here – I will be strongly supporting Kevin Yoder in the | Read More »
In summary: Don’t endorse Kevin Yoder in the Republican primary, and then be expected to be considered pro-life. I’ve been told by a person close to influential Republican Ernie Straub that, of the current field of candidates, Straub is leaning towards supporting Kevin Yoder. That points to a larger problem within Kansas Republican politics, in part because Kansans for Life leader Mary Kay Culp is | Read More »
Both Patricia Lightner and Kevin Yoder have now officially filed for the Republican primary on Tuesday, August 3. I have not seen any polls lately — the only publicly-released poll has been this one in February from former candidate Nick Jordan — but I’m confident that both Lightner and Yoder are daily, consistently building up supporting in the form of voters, volunteers, and donors.
