Opinion Line Extra (Oct. 21)

Another day and another disaster in the headlines. A million thanks to the Kansas City Royals for giving us something to cheer about.


President Obama is making women feel unsafe on Ebola, ISIS, soaring food prices and the bad economy. His lack of corrective action is very risky.


Obama has won two elections. He not running this year. Someone needs to tell the Republicans.


The Obama administration hired Ron Klain as the Ebola czar. Klain is not a doctor and has no medical training. The Washington, D.C., stupidity never stops.


After this latest critical blunder by our community organizer, which might be the demise of America, I can hear Hillary Clinton asking, “What difference does it make?”


Nigeria has been declared Ebola-free. Why? Because it closed the borders and isolated the infected patients. But I am sure our politicians here are correct. That would not work here. We are being led by ideological idiots.


Since the only Ebola fatality in the U.S. occurred in Texas and the state allowed an infected person to fly to another state from there, Texas should be quarantined with no travel allowed in or out. Ted Cruz and other congressional Republicans must agree with that logic.


If Ted Cruz needs Sen. Pat Roberts in the Senate, that’s a good reason to vote for Greg Orman.


Close your eyes and envision a wolf masquerading in a sheep costume sneaking up on some children and senior citizens, and you will have described Orman’s attempt at a Senate seat.


Pat Roberts needs to act his age and not his shoe size. Stop blaming Reid and Orman. And take partial responsibility for the problems in Kansas.


What many call Republican gridlock in Congress, the rest of us call Congress doing its job. Stopping Obama’s leftist agenda really does reflect the will of the majority of Americans. Congress is a branch of government, not Obama’s rubber stamp.


I never thought I would ever say I am so looking forward to commercials that are not about politicians.


Can’t the Republican establishment find a more recent sin of Paul Davis than his going to a bar 16 years ago? The constant TV ads are a bit counterproductive at this point.


I’ve always assumed a “low-information voter” is someone who doesn’t listen to someone else’s preferred radio blowhard.


Thank you, Kansans for Life, for the political mailer I received. It really helped me to know whom to not vote for.


Let us face it. The most important issue of all has been avoided by 100 percent of the candidates. Before I cast my vote, I want to know where each and every candidate stands on the erectile dysfunction issue.
