The voters knew Brownback's economic policies were a disaster but they re-elected him anyway. Two years later, they still sent a super majority of Republicans to the state legislature. The entire Congressional legislation is Republican as well. If economic ruin along with failing schools, a poor health care system and a net migration out of the state aren't enough to convince Kansas voters that they need to stop voting for Republicans, then nothing will. It's too bad the fine Democrats and their voters in the state have to suffer with so much blatant stupidity.
