Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 14)

Why isn’t Texas Gov. Rick Perry getting some of the blame for mishandling the Ebola cases? Where does the buck stop?

I remember my grandmother telling me about a terrible flu epidemic in the early part of the 1900s that prevented her from traveling home for Christmas, as people were afraid of spreading or catching the flu. What a novel idea to curtail the spread of Ebola.

What’s even scarier than the Ebola and ISIS is wondering what the government is up to using that for a smoke screen to hide behind.

I see the U.S. is screening for Ebola at airports. Isn’t that profiling? I thought we weren’t allowed to profile people, even if they are trying to kill us.

It is official – our military has morphed into the Peace Corp. No wonder the world no longer respects us. That is not what they are trained to do, no matter what our clueless president believes.

Wendy Davis in Texas is running cruel ads against her opponent. This is so typical of Democrats. It is just one more reason why I’ll never again vote for a Democrat, even for dogcatcher.

Why would anyone believe someone who is allegedly a teacher bad-mouthing the governor after teachers started acting like whining children when they were told they had the same rules of employment as almost everyone in the state?

If “Vote for me because Paul Davis went to a strip club 16 years ago” is all our governor’s got to run on, Oz is in deep doo-doo.

The party of “no” is sure running scared. Look at all the money it is pouring out for ads. Sorry, boys. You had your chance. “No” is not a platform. Proof is in the lack of accomplishments in the ads. No more. See, we can do it, too.

So Greg Orman says Pat Roberts is the problem with illegal immigration. Roberts has never been president, but Orman’s compadre Obama is president and he had Democrat-controlled houses of Congress from 2011 to 2012 and chose to do nothing. Democrats are the problems.

I wonder if “independent” Greg Orman is going to ask Barack Obama to come to Kansas to campaign with him.

To my fellow conservatives: Please do your duty and vote. Encourage other conservatives to vote. Numbers win elections We simply cannot let the liberal Paul Davis or Greg Orman fiascoes come to pass. If you don’t do your part to defeat them, you deserve the inept leadership you’ll get.

I would rather have a “spend and tax” Democrat than a “spend and borrow” Republican. There is no incentive to cut government spending if you don’t have to pay for it. But Republicans would rather push the problem onto our children and blame the Democrats.

Jesus didn’t ride an elephant.
