Pat Roberts has been in Congress since 1981. His principle place of residence is in Virginia. But he is Kansas’s Senator. In fact, Roberts claims to own a residence in Ford County, Kansas, but the Ford County Tax Appriser lists Pat Robert’s residence in Alexandria, VA as the address to send the bill to for his Kansas property. Sen. Roberts wife is even a very successful real estate agent — in Virginia. Roberts has had to admit he rents his Kansas house and he sleeps on a friend’s recliner when he goes to Kansas. When the New York Times broke this story Friday, the Hill noted Roberts was staying at a hotel, instead of sleeping on the friend’s recliner. This news must be greatly panicking Roberts and the NRSC.

Dear well meaning poseur, atheist, and other people hostile to Christianity — these are shibboleths of the damned. If you throw these out, it is an immediate signal you are more likely than not destined for hell fire.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post → Internet Gambling: Two Coalitions, One Debate, and Billions of Dollars Internet gambling has been a contentious issue ever since there has been an internet.
