Senator Brownback: I Hated The Clintons Until I Realized It Was Wrong

What a weird thing to come out and say:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sam Brownback says he harbored a “hatred” of Bill and Hillary Clinton until he experienced a religious awakening in the mid-1990s.

I guess this was sort of like his vote in favor of the amnesty bill before he realized that it wasn’t going to pass and he changed his vote.

What a doofus.

Why is it weird?  I’ve had the same experience myself.  I harbored a certain hatred for Bill Clinton growing up until I realized hating a man such as him is childish and rather silly…

I’m sure Brownback still loathes many of the POLICIES of the Clintons, as do I, but hatred of the person is nothing to be proud of…


I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

Because hatred is good.

What a doofus.

There is nothing wrong with what Brownback said about hating the Clintons and after conversion no longer hating them or others. That has nothing to do with his Kerryesque performance on the Immigration Bill, a man can be saved, truly see that hate is wrong and want to live a right life and yet still be inconsistent about many matters in his personal life.

Salvation is not a just a destination, it’s a journey!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Dove, go read the post again.  Brownback’s flip-flop on the vote makes him a doofus.

His decision to publish a book about his love/hate relationship with the Clinton’s at the beginning of his campaign for the Presidency is what’s bizarre.

Yes his flip-flop makes him appear like a doofus and the timing of this public confession tome is a little bizzare. Yet, if his change from hating others was sincere, there is nothing wrong with such a confession and change of heart.

Is it wrong to hate charlatans? I think not!

What a doofus.

The guy speaks from his heart and from his beliefs. As a politician, some people like that, and some people don’t. I can smile and relate with what he’s saying. I’m not crazy about the quote, but I don’t think that means he’s stupid or incompetent.


Why should we have less abortions if you’re not really killing someone?

Let me add one more thing.

I don’t know what it is about Sam. I know what you’re saying Rob, his personality is a little… quirky.

But I really like his positions on almost everything. I think he’s sincere and searches for the truth, and that’s a great start to the makings of a good president.

“Can he win?” is another question. But I don’t know what the rush is to start digging his grave.

No, he cannot.  He is a marginal candidate unknown to the vast majority of voters.

You’re right. Nobody *cough* Clinton *cough* has ever done that…

No, he cannot.

Oh, OK. I’ll let him know that.

Be my guest.  There are several contenders who have to realize that they have no chance, but are carrying on because of...what?  Delusion, money, the narcissistic reward?  Clinton had a chance because of a weak field.  Brownback isn’t in that situation here.  Both Giuliani and Thompson are popular.  That’s not going to change.  Brownback is largely unknown, and the hurdle is too high for him to gain any ground.
