Opinion Line (Oct. 21)

As you close the curtain at the voting booth in November, be sure to ask yourself if you are more likely to be infected or beheaded than you were six years ago.

If the Ebola crisis gets bad enough, will we relearn how to pull together? Or will it just provide more fodder for the talking heads who are so determined to play the blame game, dividing (and destroying) us?

When it comes to someone who is or possibly could be infected with Ebola, HIPAA should be null and void.

When Kansans contribute to a politician’s campaign, they are investing in their state and their future. When out-of-staters contribute to a politician’s campaign, they are buying something. The more money that comes from out of state, the more the politician is up for sale.

Watching TV during campaign season is like going through your e-mail before the invention of spam filters.

The final question by the KSN representative demonstrated that Pat Roberts doesn’t have an original thought. Without a script prepared by ALEC or the national GOP, he is out to lunch.

Thanks to the KSN debate for finally allowing the public to hear from the candidates’ own lips that Roberts is pro-life while Orman is pro-choice. That is reason alone to re-elect Roberts Nov. 4.

The most important issue facing our state and our nation is the protection of human life. That’s why I’m voting for Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts.

Brownback would have been sent to detention from my class for not telling the truth. His claim that his leadership made Kansas’ school system one of the best in the nation has no merit. He can’t see or doesn’t want to give teachers and students the credit they deserve.

How much money would be freed up for classrooms if schools fired about three-quarters of their administrators, and if we had some real efforts made in deporting illegal immigrants?

Voting “no” to the sales tax is just plain ignorance. I’m voting “yes.” The other camp has no solutions or plan.

Someone should figure out what our current failed Equus Beds restoration program has cost the taxpayers per gallon.

Regarding U.S. 54: Remind me again why the city of Wichita is spending $300 million of our money to make it easier for people to move out of Wichita.

Will anyone really miss the redbelly snake if it goes extinct?
