Kansas GOP in the news

Yessirree, Bob, good ol' Kansas Republicans are in none other than the New York Times yesterday and for good things, as far as the rest of us thinking humans are concerned. It seems they just can't stand fellow Republicans, less'n they think Right Wing, like they do.

Make that FAR Right Wing:

In Kansas, Conservatives Vilify Fellow Republicans

Kansas politics have been tilting more to the right for at least the last two decades. And now that shift is prompting a bitter clash within the state’s Republican Party. Conservatives are feverishly working to win the Senate and drive out the last remnants of what they see as moderate Republicanism in a state with a deep-rooted history of centrist Republicans in the mold of Bob Dole, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nancy Kassebaum.

The divisive primary campaign reflects the ambivalence gripping Republicans across the country, yet the situation here is more complicated than the typical conservative-versus-establishment disputes.

What sets the battle in Kansas apart is the distance between the factions. Conservative and moderate Republicans essentially operate as separate parties, and so far, no one — including Mr. Brownback — has stepped forward to try to bridge that gap in the popular tradition of moderation. Instead, each side claims to represent the soul of the party.

“We don’t even know what it means to be a Republican in the state of Kansas,” said Casey W. Moore, a conservative Senate candidate from the Topeka area.

Personally, I like the smell of Right Wing cannibalism in the morning.

Heck, I love that any time of day or night.
