Unlike Ron Estes’ first run for office, this time he will actually have to run a campaign and WORK for his job. Two years ago Estes skipped public forums, avoided debates, and ran a campaign that implied: “I’m a Republican in a Republican district. I will win by default.” That seemed to be his motto, so why do any more work than he needed to?Thompson on the other hand made all the debates and forums. He was out meeting people.
Estes spent a lot of Republican slush money, from all their bribes and kick-backs, on lots and lots and lots of ads. And he went negative, telling people that Thompson was running on behalf of Nancy Pelosi, who today is no longer relevant to anything in congress. Republicans always accuse their Democratic rivals of wanting to tax the middle class to death.
Estes was late to his own victory party on election night. And the local Republicans, along with the national Republican Party ran ads for Estes. Dishonesty has never been a problem for Republicans. Playing lose with the truth and lying has never been a problem for any of them.
This year he has actually been to debates, with his challenger, again James Thompson. He plans to make more of them. This year he actually has to get up off his fat ass and had to do something.
Estes has once again been running those misleading ads. This is a guy who just lacks any real issues or convictions. From the beginning he has been a week candidate who lacks any real dynamics. He’s lack luster and he has been a Republican lackey who just fell ass backward into that office, Kansas’ Fourth Congressional District.
This year he actually wrote an article about health care that goes along with the national Republicans, implying that providing health care to thepoor and others who need it will bankrupt the overall health care system. His lord and master President Donald Trump did what Republicans have been doing for the last 50 years. He destroyed the Democrat plan for providing health care to thows who need it and promised he had a better plan to provide health care to all citizens. Once he got elected and once he destroyed Obamacare, he simply ignored the health care crisis and just went back the status quo. He will do nothing and just keep the lousy system we have—a system that Estes fully supports.
So even if Estes wins this election he will have had to get out and earn it. This time around he can't just sit back on his fat ass[1]and win by default.
