Brownback Clarifies Stance on Evolution

Presidential hopeful Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) submitted an opinion column to the New York Times on Thursday explaining in detail his position on evolution.

In his Op-Ed piece, the Catholic conservative specified how science and faith must be looked at together when discussing intricate issues such as evolution. He added that evolution, for the most part, has much validity to it while at the same time lacks substance in many instances.

“The truths of science and faith are complementary,” explained Brownback. “[T]hey deal with very different questions, but they do not contradict each other because the spiritual order and the material order were created by the same God.”

Senator Has New Plan To Partition Iraq

Apr 26, 2007
(US News) Sen. Sam Brownback, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate, says that he hopes to move a bipartisan bill calling for the partitioning of Iraq into three states before the Democratic supplemental funding bill for the war goes to the president for his promised veto.

"I'd like to do it before we go to veto," he said in a roundtable interview with reporters. His plan: teaming with Sen. Joe Biden, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to push forward Biden's plan to move toward a political division of the war-torn nation. However, Brownback said that while he's been talking with Biden about the plan, the Delaware senator has not committed to it.

Brownback Leads The Field In Missed Votes

Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., has been playing an awful lot of hooky these days. Last month, he missed more than half of his Senate roll call votes, according to AbsentCongress.org, a Web site launched Thursday that tracks senatorial absenteeism.

Only Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., who remains hospitalized after a life-threatening brain hemorrhage, has missed more. Johnson, who staffers say is making steady progress in his recovery, hasn't made it to any votes yet.
Brownback showed up 48 percent of the time. As a presidential hopeful, he probably has his hands full. Yet rival senators who are also moonlighting as '08 contenders have higher attendance records – though the campaign season remains young.
