Brownback extremely unpopular, trails for reelection

PPP's newest Kansas poll finds that Sam Brownback has continued to become even more unpopular in the last year, and that he slightly trails his Democratic opponent for reelection. Only 33% of voters in the state approve of the job Brownback is doing, compared to 51% who disapprove. That's down from a 37/52 spread when PPP last polled the state a year ago. It's not surprising that Brownback is doing poorly with independents (33/51) or Democrats (10/76) but what really drags his numbers down is that even Republicans aren't particularly enthusiastic about him, with just 46% approving to 37% who disapprove.

Does doing stuff like this make them feel good at the end of the day? Does it bring them a sense of satisfaction- a sense of "job well done"- to push these kind of things? How do they look at themselves in a mirror? How can they feel a sense of ease going to church and praying to their "pro-life" God while making a DETERMINED EFFORT to make it harder for people to have health insurance and easier for them to get seriously ill and die?

Just simply.......

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) is leading the opposition to the H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Yesterday, during debate on the bill, he held up a picture of an embryo drawn by a 7-year-old girl. Relaying a conversation with the girl’s mother, Brownback said the embryo was asking the Senate, “Are you going to kill me?” Watch it:
