"Pray, Hope and BLOG for Brownback"

Posted by Leticia in comments at The Curt Jester:

I'm probably the only one of you who has met Senator Brownback in person. He IS the real article! He has always been an advocate for their right to be born. He generated tremendous enthusiasm at the March, getting a huge cheer when he spoke, so much so that he worried People for the American Way, who mentioned both of his speeches that day on their blog.

I was bold enough to tell him what some of you are saying, that we love him, but he's at best candidate #4, after the CODs(Culture of Death politicians, thanks for introducing this to my lexicon, Curt Jester!) He took it like a gentleman, but later, in his speeches convinced me otherwise.

Brownback was the Secretary of Agriculture in Kansas, being a former soybean farmer, when Bob Dole vacated his seat in the Senate to challenge Bill Clinton for the presidency. The Governor, a pro-abort Republican woman, appointed another pro-abort Republican woman to the seat. Brownback challenged her as an incumbent, 26 points down, and beat her with 16 points to spare, (for those of you in Rio Lindo,that's a 42 point gain!)

He won re-election handily, and this is his plan for the primaries. . .he said that the Iowans who brave the snow to show up for an all-day caucus tend to be hard-core pro-lifers; RINOS don't sit well with them. That's how Alan Keyes actually won in Iowa against Bush.

But what Keyes doesn't have,(and I supported him in 2000) is electablity. Brownback has proven his, twice. He said, "if I have enough time, I can connect with the voters". He has a year, let him do what he does best; he had the March for Life in the palm of his hand.

We faithful Catholics are enough of a political force to be courted specially by the Bush campaign 6 years ago. Think how the blogosphere has exploded since then. Bush staffers check Technorati and Truth Laid Bare daily for blogging trends. Lets put our blogs in the service of the best man out there, since we are 1 year out from the primaries, and let the CODs embarrass themselves by their lack of conviction. Stop the negativity, and talk it up.

Pray, hope, and BLOG for BROWNBACK!
