Brownback Sounds Ready to Run

Right Wing News interviewed Sam Brownback and asked the Kansas Senator about 2008. Brownback said, “I’m looking at it and I am considering it. No final decision has been made. My wife and I are talking about that. I’ve made some early trips into Iowa and New Hampshire, Michigan, and last year some travels around South Carolina. I haven’t been there this year and I’m considering it. It’s quite a challenge and so I’m taking time and looking at it quite carefully.”

Brownback was also asked what his top legislative priorities are in the Senate this year:

“My first would be on the life issue. We’d be getting legislation to protect young human life in the womb and from being researched on.”

“The second one, given the nature and the time that we’re in right now, would probably be that deficit reduction deal.”

“And then there would probably be the decency legislation that’s pending now, increasing fines toward Hollywood, really trying to send a message into the culture that we need to clean up the culture.”
