From the Addicting Info website article of June 15th, Brownback does have feelings. He cried!
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback Cries During Meeting About State Budget He Destroyed
"According to unnamed legislators who spoke with the Tokpeka Capital-Journal, Brownback choked back tears during the session when it became abundantly clear that there was simply no good way to pull Kansas out of the truly massive budget deficit it finds itself in. Even worse, Republicans — who control both the state’s legislature and Sam Brownback’s brain — have repeatedly taken the one thing that could help the economy off the table: raising taxes on the wealthy.
"Instead, the group of conservatives are struggling to find money elsewhere. So far this has meant taxing things like cigarettes and liquor, slashing the budgets of many state governmental agencies by 4 percent, taking money away from infrastructure funds and closing many schools in the state early to save cost on education. The budget is still in dire straits."

There is more in the article, but Brownback is really feeling bad, or as one of his fellow Republican legislators put, "he got emotional." His colleagues took Brownback’s tears to signify his “passion for Kansans”.
But the article now says he is "hated in Kansas". Really? All these budget problems were known before he got re-elected by the good people of Kansas just eight months ago. And like Florida, the voter turn-out was only 43 percent in Kansas, meaning of course that the passionate faithful voted in large numbers while Dems went fishing. The people of Kansas and Florida and other states like Maine keep reelecting these guys. They bitch about them before the elections and then go ahead and reelect them again and again...and then they bitch some more. But whoa, electing a Democrat to replace a bozo? No way in those states. Tribalism? I just don't know.
