Democratic Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius called for "a new course" for the nation on Monday, saying Americans "have no more patience with divisive politics" and urging President Bush to join "the vast majority of Americans" to make needed change.
Speaking from Topeka, Kansas, Sebelius said her "American response" to the president's State of the Union address was "a national call to action on behalf of the struggling families here in the heartland, and across this great country" and "a wake-up call to Washington, on behalf of a new American majority, that time is running out on our opportunities to meet our challenges and solve our problems."

I always liked Kathleen Sebelius's opinion (she seems to be near Europeans's opinion for many things, for example:capital punishment...) and I agree when she says "the American people are not nearly as divided as our rancorous politics might suggest"...I hope...

I thought there was a lot more substance to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' speech last night than Bush's. He would do well to take heed, but he won't, arrogant SOB!

I thought that Governor Sebelius had a lot of common sense, in her speech.
Hopefully, her words will stir some consciences and maybe we will see some action.
Thanks engineer!

IF obama is the nominee, she would fit nicely on the ticket.

Health care for the poor should be a state issue not a federal one. We pay all these state taxes yet all the states do is ask the federal govt money for everything. In Massachusetts no one goes uninsured anymore. Either the employer has to provide coverage or it is offered either free or at a huge discount by the state. Maybe all the governers should open their coffers and take care of their own.

The 60's nearly destroyed democracy in the U.S. Now every issue is political. Every solution requires government participation. The government cannot fix the economy, because anyone with even a trivial education in economics knows that business cycles have nothing to do with politics. The government shouldn't attempt to regulate health care coverage. It's not the government's responsibilty to take care of everyone, believe it or not. Not the children either. Gosh, people get all sentimental and emotional any time the phrase "taking care of the children" is evoked in a political diatribe. The government shouldn't regulate business, trade, welfare, education, social security, ect. The problem with democracy is that eventually people figure out that they can use the government to get what they want, control other people, and pursue special interests. Stuff and nonsense, Democracy's had it's run; we're due for a dictatorship. Always happens...ask history.

Oh yes, the Governor who claimed there was no National Guard equipment to help in the recovery from last summer's tornadoes. Blatantly politicizing a disaster for her own benefit.
She hadn't even asked for any help from the Guard before she complained of it's absence.

She's also raising quite the young entrepreneur. Her son has created a prison-themed board game tastefully titled "Don't Drop the Soap".

One of the many differences between the Republicans and the Democrats is simply that the Republicans can't unite the country and the Democrats won't. The Dems interests are in keeping the country divided and appealing to each group in accordance with that groups interests.
Unless the Republicans can radically change their perspective and adopt a true Conservative agenda, e.g., upholding the Constitution, allowing people to keep more of the money they make, promoting US economic growth, keeping our borders secure, etc., the Democrats will win and continue to tear this country apart with their hatred and divisiveness.
