"Good luck, Gov. Sebelius. Please make sure your taxes are in order! ""….

lol

Sounds as if she has done a great job for her state of Kansas and will do a good job for this country, the health care system needs desperate help.  Good luck to her.

Don’t buy the B.S. being peddled in this article.  First of all I am here to say that Kathleen Sebelious is very popular in Kansas and we are a very red state and she was overwhelmingly reelected despite the hacks that now run things in Kansas.  We used to have a proud tradition of Republicans like Nancy Landon Kassebaum who was our senator for many years and even Bob Dole both of whom would look fairly moderate in comparison to those running things today that is why so many have fled the GOP of late  in Ks and become Dems.  Sebelious own Lt. Gov used to be the Chair of the GOP here but fled for the Dems and became Sebelious running mate because of the whack jobs at the top, there are no more moderates left.  Many do not follow the radical agenda set in place but unfortunately what is left in Kansas at the top are card carrying members for El Rushbo. 

My grandmother is 87 years old.  her Dad was  a Republican in the state house, senate and Supreme Court in Kansas, wrote the brief for "Brown vs. Board,"  she says she doesn’t recognize the party anymore.

You can’t believe a word these guys say anymore, they are in cohoots with a guy name Phil Kline.  Now I am not here to defend Tiller that is for the courts to do but I am from Kansas and Phil Kline our past attorney general who started the witch hunt on Tiller was not reelected because of illegal activities on his part.  Then the state GOP appointed him (Kline) to another job in Kansas City as a prosecutor, wich he was subsquently dumped by the voters because he is a hack.  he is under investigation for illegal activities during the time he was Atty. Gen and Co. Prosecutor. 

These guys are nut jobs they belong in the same category as Fred Phelps and if you don’t know who he is just google, h’s the one that pickets the funerals of the Dead soldiers and gays. 

Sebelious could have accomplished more but the Grand Obstructionists Party here kept her from doing some of that.  Yes we have more people without health insurance right now, what state doesn’t, people are losing their jobs.  She did a good job, people like her and she was reelected by a very good margin despite the hacks that run the GOP here these days and that just gets under their skin.  This is nothing but sour grapes.

It does not matter how many times I here the words against abortion or pro choice there should still be laws that limit the abortions that are permitted.  I still and have always felt that if a woman is raped and becomes impregnated by that rapist she should have the right to abort.  If a woman knows her child will be born handicaped and does not feel that she has adequate means to support that special needs child she should be able to abort.  But please the woman who just goes out and has a good time that is where I draw the line and say no that woman should adopt the child out.  No one has the right just to do away with a childs life unless its meets the criterial above.  No One.

Sebelius and Health Services in Kansas    [Denis Boyles]

When the New York Times was touting Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’s thin qualifications to be secretary of Heath and Human Services, the only one they could come up with other than being the insurance commissioner of a state with barely enough people to populate an actuarial table was that she is "a governor running a state Medicaid program."

Apparently, she isn’t even doing a very good job of that. An excellent Topeka reporter, Tim Carpenter at the Capital-Journal, reported this in Sunday’s paper:

The former inspector general of the Kansas Health Policy Authority says agency managers applied pressure to alter an audit report, restricted access to legal advice and threatened to fire her for meeting independently with legislators.

Allegations leveled by attorney Robin Kempf, inspector general of KHPA until November, likely will spur Senate Republicans to press ahead with a bill moving to another area of state government the job of serving as watchdog over Medicaid, MediKan and Children’s Health Insurance programs.

Kempf resigned in protest.

Editors in Kansas (including Carpenter’s, apparently) tend not to mention Sebelius in connection with things like this, and neither did the AP when they popped Carpenter’s story on the local wire, but at least the New York Times connected the dots.

Man I cant wait for this thread to deliver.

 This is like putting out the bat signal to all the crazies here that already post right wing conspiracy theories and insanity on threads that aren’t even related to politics in the first place.

Libra Lady,

You need to remember the old saying all politics is local.

It is very nice that you have an opinion but you do not live here, there is a lot of politics and mud slinging going on in Kansas  right now and the Republicans are mad she  Kathleen said no to 2 coal fired power plants in western Kansas and they are furious and out to get her, what they are not telling is that these power plants are for producing power that will go to Colorado and other states that already told them no, they just thought they could slip it in here in old red Kansas anyway and she sdtood up and said no.

About the State Health Insurance for kids the legislature didn’t want kids to be covered in the first place with or without federal funds and our population in the rural areas is increasdingly poor and elderly.  I travel the state for my job so I have a fairly good handle on what is going on out there. She has been a very good Gov.
