Moore calls self a “moderate conservative”

Click for Moore's full letter to supporters

In an email to supporters today, Stephene Moore called herself a, “moderate and fiscal conservative.” What exactly that means, of course, is anyone’s guess.

It’s no secret that her husband has been anything but a fiscal conservative after supporting government take overs of every industry you can think of, from the financial sector to automobiles to our health care system. In an article on PrimeBuzz of the Kansas City Star, Stephene stated that she basically agreed with her husband’s votes, noting only that she wanted more oversight (control) of the bank bailout bill, leaving the reader to postulate that she would have supported such a bailout if more oversight had been included. What exactly is “moderate” or “fiscally conservative” about more taxes and more bailouts isn’t explained in her letter.

In this year’s election there are numerous candidates calling themselves “moderate” and “fiscally conservative” when their record reflects something much different. The fact is if voters want the change they thought they were getting in 2008, they must look past the buzz words certain candidates love to throw around. And that includes “conservative” that apparently every Republican candidate liked to call themselves before August, again many times in spite of a very liberal record.

Now, as far as how one can be a “moderate” and “fiscal conservative,” I’m at a loss. It would seem the label machine at Moore’s campaign headquarters seems to be working overtime.

Poll: KS-03 Republican primary

Let the races begin!

The primary race in Kansas’ Third Congressional District just got a lot more crowded with Dennis Moore announcing he’s quitting rather than face Republican opposition.

You can vote for your choice for a Republican nominee in our poll on the right. We’ve tried to list any candidate running or somewhat seriously considering running.

We’ll announce the results at a later date.

Mr. Moore goes to a Washington fund raiser with Barney Fwank

Democrat Dennis Moore recently attended a liberal fund raiser with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Fwank (D-Mass.) What would “Blue Dog” Dennis Moore have in common with liberal Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank?

Whatever they have in common, it must mean a lot to Dennis. After all, why else would Moore risk walking right out on the street in crime ridden Washington D.C.?

Say what you will about Barney Frank, but the guy got Dennis Moore to do something his constituents couldn’t; come out in public.

Dennis, you’re a brave, brave soul. Don’t you know how crime ridden the streets of D.C. are? I thought you were a former district prosecutor? I mean, we’re just really concerned about your safety here. Don’t you know there were just “60,000″ right wing wackos in D.C.? What if a couple of them stayed behind? What then Dennis???

I guess safety is all relative depending on how many Benjamin’s are at the meeting.

What a joke.

In fact, the only guy I can think of that’s more of a political joke than Dennis Moore right now is Sun Publisher Steve Rose. He announced today that he’s running against Dennis Moore in 2010, even though he’s endorsed him in every election since 1998! I’m in disbelief that Steve’s friends don’t care enough about him to tell him he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in h*ll of winning.

Somebody send Steve a memo that only Republican’s can vote for him in a primary. And unlike him, a majority of them don’t belong to the country club.

Steve’s fundamental problem is the consistent amount of Republicans that have voted against Dennis Moore since he was elected. Granted there wasn’t enough of them to defeat Moore, but they’ve been clear and consistent in their distaste for the guy. Why would they now vote for a registered Republican Dennis Moore mini-me?

Good luck Steve. You’re gonna need it with the book of campaign material you’ve written for your primary opponents.

Mrs. Tiller goes to Washington

From the Kansas Federalist’s Currie Myers

The most demonstrative pro-abortion governor in the history of the United States has been selected by President Obama to become the Health and Human Services Secretary. Even though I am excited to have our Governor “out of Dodge” due to her horrible tax and spend policies as well as liberal thoughts on energy, I have great concern for the impact she will have in our nation regarding health care.

As HHS secretary, Sebelius will have a major impact in crafting a health care plans that could cover abortions with taxpayer funds or require insurance companies to cover abortions in their plans. Sebelius could also, if confirmed by the Senate, issue new regulations overturning the protections President Bush put in place that protect pro-life doctors and medical centers.

Sebelius is best known for her close relationship with late-term abortionist George Tiller, who has escaped prosecution and accountability on many occasions until just recently when a Wichita judge ordered the green light that his criminal case should be tried.

As Kansas governor for 6 years now, Sebelius’ lax standards has caused criminal cases to go uninvestigated. She has also dominated liberal campaigns with tainted abortion money through her political allies, to whom Tiller has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars not only to these allies directly, but to Sebelius’ own “Blue Stem” Fund. Her position favoring abortion is so radical and extreme that Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City called her to stop receiving communion until she disowns her support for the “serious moral evil” of abortion.

Governor Sebelius vetoed a bill last April that the legislature approved that would have strengthened the state’s limits on late-term abortions. That followed by a year her veto of a bill requiring explicit medical reasons for a late abortion, which was preceded by vetoing other pro-life legislation in 2006, 2005 and 2003. She has appointed pro-abortion politicians to posts and committees that oversee agencies that investigate the violation of Kansas Laws on abortion. And she has allowed late term abortions to continue even though Kansas Law specifically does not allow the horrible procedure.

Sebelius has had secret fundraisers with Tiller and Planned Parenthood, many times at the governor’s mansion, which she failed to officially report as a campaign event. Once again using Kansas ’ taxpayer money to promote and honor abortionist and abortion related industries and to raise money for her or her friends campaign coffers.

The good news is that now the national spotlight is on Sebelius and her illegal activities will be investigated and looked at from people across the nation. They will find out that Sebelius political machine makes Chicago politics look like a day at grammar school. Sebelius is cunning and liberal. She is far from the Blue Dog Democrat that the drive by media portrays. And her day in the Obama spotlight will provide the nation with a glimpse of the embarrassment we Kansan’s call, Governor!

As HHS secretary her damage to our country’s health services will be significant and her abortion power unyielding. More abortion parties and fundraisers to come!

Except this time the event location will be 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue !
