Future Kansas Gov. and current U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback prayed yesterday to kill health-care reform. For real. Brownback got a seat at the Family Research Council's table during yesterday's 60-minute "prayercast" (Brownback is introduced at the 17:47 mark).
Even as pornstached Lou Engle
called on the people in the room to stand and pray, Brownback clung to
his seat like someone was going to steal it. (Sam, just call "quack,
quack seat back.")
Brownback's role in all of this was to talk about abortion, because it's all about the babies.
"It's a real tragedy because abortion's not health care," Brownback said.
The "tragedy" is that Brownback would align himself with Lou "sexual insanity" Engle, who has encouraged Christian martyrdom, and a preacher named Harry Jackson, who claims gays are satanic. Check out the Rachel Maddow video for a quick briefing on them.
Brownback and Sen. Jim DeMint made it clear that they don't want the government running health care. You know, like the care they get as senators.

Brownback is finished politically. He's a moron and a lacky for the insurance companies. He never once voted against Bush's administration which got us where we are. (Not that Obama is doing any better.) I will campaign against him every chance I get. All Kansans should make a point of running him down in any conversation they get into from now till the S.O.B. is praying for something to eat.
Looks like Sam's prayers were answered.
He prayed that the health bill would be still another enormous subsidy for his friends in the insurance industry, much as was the 2003 Medicare Reform and Prescription Drug Improvement Act which he, Roberts and Tiahrt all voted for.
Now they get their dough and the Democrats get blamed for what the Republicans wanted all along.
Only in America...
He'll go from subsidized health care in Congress to subsidized health care as governor, and his supporters will let him get away with bashing Kansans for wanting the same health care they pay for him and his family to have.
That "Prayercast" was the biggest croc of pooh I've ever seen. The whole cast of "Christians" praying to deny millions of Americans something that they need is the very example of hyprocrisy in action. They forgot that the Scripture says to pray in private, not in public to put on a show to demonstrate how pious you are. The "Prayercast" was an online show. That's all. Christians? I think not.
From the Good News Bible/English Version
Proverbs 14:31
If you oppress poor people, you insult the God who made them; but kindness shown to the poor is an act of worship.
The only gods these nuts worship are the corporations and themselves.
The only guy they got to run against him dropped out of the race today - we're stuck with him.
He's not our next governor. He's at home on the west side of Kansas with the right wing nutjobs, bible thumpers, and religous zealots. Thank god the Eastern third of the state has enough people to hopefully make a difference.
Your title isn't correct. It should read, "Kansans: Your next governor is praying to defend insurance company profits."
