Roberts flip flops on campaign reform and sugar policy
The piece accuses Sen. Pat Roberts of shifting stances on campaign finance reform and free trade, citing a June vote reversing his stance on disclosure, a July Cuba trip to advocate ending the embargo, and ties to sugar and other corporate donors.
