KS GOVERNOR DEBATE

Program Schedule 10 SEPT 2014  Saturday, 06 Aug. 2014,  Kansas State Fairgrounds, Hutchinson. Early press reports before the two debates had MSNBC, CNN and Kansas news satellite trucks lined up behind the arena where the debate was staged.  Print media from most area daily newspapers were sighted along with a reporter from the WALL STREET JOURNAL.  A record 2,500 maximum capacity crowd assembled with many others standing, blocks of yellow and red tee-shirts were in the audience; signifying Brownback and public school teachers respectively. 

An unedited recording of the "lively" first hour debate with Gov. Sam Brownback and Rep. Paul Davis is in the first hour.

A rumor exists there will be more “debates.” Maybe by then people won’t be forced to buy carnival tickets to witness what should be accessible and in the public domain. Take a quick poll of your neighbors; ask if any listened to the gubernatorial and senatorial candidates’ “debates” as staged at the Kansas state fair last Saturday. We live in a time where every distracted electronic screen grazing person should have access from portable telephones, homes and public libraries to these “debates.” They and a majority in the state legislature are using what Bush #41 called “voodoo economics” to drive the Great Cornpone Revolution. I predict the next “debates” in Hutchinson will require chicken wire fences erected on the stage to stop the rain of rotten eggs, tomatoes and cabbages. The state fair will be more akin to a cheap, greasy Texas honky-tonk franchise by then. We should be convening debates in Topeka's garishly gilded legislative chambers, to witness our candidates in contest where taxpayers spent nearly $400 million in renovations. The place is wired for sound, the internet and only seasonally used. - Radio Free Kansas
