Opinion Line Extra (Sept. 30)

What does Hillary Clinton have to offer? She was a first lady who failed miserably at health reform, an unremarkable senator from New York and an awful secretary of state whose failures we are still trying to overcome.

We started fighting steadily in the Middle East when I was first out of high school in the early ’90s. I think it’s time to sweep the whole area and not stop until all problems are squashed once and for all.

Independent party candidate Greg Orman said he voted Obama in 2008 but voted Romney in 2012. He’s contributed to Democrats but also to Republicans. That doesn’t sound like a liberal Democrat to me, Pat Roberts.

If so many people are working in Kansas, as our governor says, then why do we have record numbers of people applying for food assistance? I know because I see it at work. Obviously, the jobs they are working do not pay enough to survive.

A governor who refuses to expand Medicaid to cover thousands of his state citizens without insurance and who shifts the burden of taxation from lawyers, doctors and business owners to the payers with the lowest incomes is not a stand-up guy with a great heart, as his supporters claim.

Since when does reviewing the background of a candidate running for public office become a “smear campaign” when the findings are made public?

Mr. or Ms. Politician, you want my vote? Get rid of “Rachel at Card Services” and the rest of those no-call-list violating creeps, and I’ll follow you anywhere. Yeah, I know, I’ll be getting calls from you, but there’s a light at the end of that tunnel.

Fox should rename Fox News. It should read: Fox Constant and Continual Hysteria.

Someone must be in trouble at The Eagle. They allowed a quote to be printed from a conservative newspaper, the Leader and Times in Liberal (Sept. 29 Kansas Views). Yes, there are actually conservative newspapers in Kansas.

Thank you, Opinion Line, for giving the partisan, the uninformed and the disgruntled a venue to vent. Otherwise they might be out causing mischief.

Before everyone starts giggling about domestic violence against men, realize that it’s true. Men are embarrassed about their wives beating them up. The fact is, women can be just as abusive. My brother was a victim, but in this double-standard world I guess that’s OK.

Please, not the Cox football commercials again. Oh, no.

If you want birth control, Rogaine, Viagra, sex change operations or a nose job, pay for it yourself.

I’m working on a new reality show starring dung beetles. With all the other crap on TV it should fit right in. I’ll be rolling in money. Stay tuned.
