Talk:Sam Brownback/Archives/2005

removed sentence

I removed the references to the Rolling Stone article about Sen. Brownback's religion, because there were several indications of political bias. For instance, it claims he campagned as a moderate, but became an arch-conservative before even taking office. Besides being a purely subjective claim made without support, he campaigned against an incumbent Republican considered by his supporters to be too moderate. Also, it describes a Christian network, The Family, as if it were a clandestine Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, although members include many liberals, including Hillary Clinton. Most significantly, the assertion that Brownback switched from mainline Christianity to evangelicalism. while possibly too subjective to be downright falsifiable when published, is now simply untrue; Brownback became a Catholic years ago.

I removed a sentence saying that Brownback hates pornography. The only definite information about his stance that can be discerned from the provided link is that he is concerned about porn, and that could be assumed when you look at his other views. There's no need to list every policy position he has.--DDerby-(talk) 03:32, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

I removed a sentence that said that Brownback supporting capital punishment and not embryonic stemcell research was a glaring contradiction. While, I do kind of agree with the sentence it seemed too biased to me. --FurciferRNB 18:19, 12 December 2005
