Senator Brownback Channels Judy Garland
As Senator Brownback (R-KS) announces his candidacy from the home of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church he might want to choose better phrases if he wants to get out the bigot vote.
TOPEKA, Kan. – Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., began a long-shot bid for president on Saturday, hoping his reputation as a favorite son of the religious right can help him outdistance better known rivals.
“My family and I are taking the first steps on the yellow brick road to the White House,” Brownback said, returning to his home state to declare his intention to seek his party’s nomination in 2008.
The two-term senator said he will fight to renew the nation’s cultural values and pledged to focus on rebuilding families.
“Search the record of history. To walk away from the Almighty is to embrace decline for a nation,” Brownback said. “To embrace Him leads to renewal, for individuals and for nations.”
Good Luck, ‘ole credible one of Senators!
