Opinion Line (Nov. 8)

Obamacare has resulted in loss of plans, doctors and hospital choices. The Democrats knew this was going to happen. It was just step one in forcing everyone into a single-payer system. If elected, Hillary Clinton will push for the single-payer system she wanted in the first place.

Amid all the political ads against Obamacare, I received my health insurance notice for 2015. My monthly rate and benefits are unchanged – the first time in 19 years of paying for health care. If this is socialism, I’m all for it.

It is great the way the governor’s race turned out. Now I can quit worrying about “Becky” in Topeka getting the help she needs with her mental health from “Sam.”

Rancher “John” from Eureka suggested we question the honesty of Greg Orman. Have you ever seen a more soft-skinned, less weather-beaten rancher? And those hats – could there be any more blatant props?

Bob Dole was not the great Republican god that people make him out to be. He just seems like one in comparison with the current crop of Republicans.

The results of Tuesday’s election are evidence that Kansas voters have a lemming mentality.

In January the new U.S. Senate will be greatly improved. But, unfortunately, the three worst senators will still be there – Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin.

Mayor Carl Brewer should not be concerned with how to proceed in regard to solving the problems the city faces. Brewer’s plan was overwhelmingly shot down by the voters. In April, voters will be able to choose a new mayor, based on that mayor’s plan.

Why do people keep opposing same-sex marriage? Everyone deserves to be able to marry the one they love. People say it affects the sanctity of marriage. I disagree. Divorce and adultery affect it more than same-sex marriage ever will.

Why is it so hard to see? All creatures find mates of opposite sex to procreate with. Anatomically, it’s just not logical to be with one of the same sex and call it marriage. It’s an aberration and that’s all.

The movement to allow gay marriage is fully supported by divorce lawyers, because as Kinky Friedman says, gays have just as much right to be miserable as everyone else.

My daughter called Friday from Edmond, Okla., to tell me she just filled up her car and that gasoline was $2.41 a gallon. How can it be 43 cents lower than Wichita? Someone is gouging us at the pump.
