9. What is sad is that even our wonderful DEMOCRATIC governor is against this

She and Sam Brownback agree they don't want Gittmo here.

Makes me sad. But then again, Sebelius isn't really all that progressive.

14. It's Kansas

Were you expecting another reaction?

I'm willing to bet if these detainees were white and "Christian", the good Kansans would welcome them with open arms.

Just my personal opinion.

18. Actually yes I was

I am a proud progressive and I live in Kansas and this poll really shocks me. I think the results are due to Sam Brownback being all over the media talking bad about Obama and his plan to close Gittmo. If Kansans knew the facts, they would be less likely to oppose this plan.

15. OMG! What's wrong with Kansas?!?

:(

[NeedleCast]

16. Done

but it's Kansas. No insult meant to DUers in Kansas, but it's hard to get much more red than that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. We have a (usually) wonderful Democratic governor

I disagree with her on the Gittmo/Leavenworth issue. But she is the 3rd most popular governor in the country.

So no, Kansas is not all THAT red. Oklahoma is much worse. :)

17. Kick

[zorahopkins]

20. It MUST Be Closed -- NOW!

There is no reason -- NONE!! -- to keep Gitmo open.

CLOSE it. NOW!!

It is just a vestige of the evil and illegal Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies.

On second thought, the ONLY reason to keep Gitmo open would be to be able to imprision Bush, Cheney, and all the other war criminals from that corrupt regime there!
