How Jackson County Can Learn From......Kansas?

The Kansas City Star announced today that Dr. Bob Meineilly, pastor emeritus of Village Presbyterian Church and chairman emeritus of the moderate Mainstream Coalition, said he was joining the ranks of Kansas Republicans switching parties. His reasoning: Last week's election of Phill Kline as Johnson County D.A (God help all of Johnson County!!!)

Meineilly said this on the matter "The way they did it was kind of a slap in the face to the community"

Slapping The Community in the face seems to be an obvious problem that Johnson County is currently facing. As the months go by more and more Kansas Republicans are turning Blue and it should be a sign to the rest of the country, especially Missouri...especially Jackson County.

Here's why:

The Kansas City Star today also announced that State Senator from Missouri's 8th Senate District is co-coordinating a campaign to stop Stem Cell Research.....after both Republicans and Democrats voted for it this November. Their Goal...

"to place in the Missouri Constitution a genuine ban on human cloning and to close loopholes in current Missouri law allowing for the cloning of human being."

However, this is just ANOTHER example of why Jackson County should learn from many Kansas GOP members that are switching parties after realizing that today's MO/KS GOP at the top down is full of nothing but lunatics using God's name to press their radical agenda.

Make no mistake about it...Jackson County News stands against Human Cloning. However, Sen. Bartle's campaign is not about stopping Human Cloning and unfortunately neither was the Say No on Ammendment 2 campaign...if it were then they would gladly and openly tell their constituents that in Section 38 d of Ammendment two the following is written:

"(1) No person may clone or attempt to clone a human being."

Politicians that maintain agendas like Sen. Bartle are very dangerous and unfortunately Missouri and Kansas are full of them. Jackson County, in particular Lee's Summit (what some would call the Overland Park of Missouri) should take note of what is going on in Kansas, especially in Johnson County and use what they learn for the next elections.

Voting Republican in the last few years was a suburban trend that really should stop. Reason being: It is obvious that the current GOP leadership around the country especially in America's Heartland is in no way shape or form connected with it's constituents. The only dedication that the Kansas & Missouri GOP leadership maintains is to it's ....leaders.

Those that make money, those that will do anything to continue to make money ...and that includes at the expense of your American Freedom & Constitution.

There is nothing wrong with being a Moderate Democrat...ask Kansas. There is nothing wrong with voting for moderates in both parties. (which Missouri has the pleasure of being able to do)

There are good moderate Republicans in Missouri's Capital as well. However, you ask many of them and they will tell you that the GOP leadership is a very dangerous one.

Jackson County News applauds those Kansas GOP members that are leaving their party for their courage to do what is right and to inform the people of why they are doing it.
