I think I know what's driving this article.

In the November election for governor of Kansas, the Democrats were very successful in persuading the "moderate" Republicans to vote for the Democrat over the Republican, who was a conservative. Sam Brownback is conservative, and I think the left is hoping they can do it again and elect a Democrat to replace Brownback.

I am positive of this, and I'm dreading that this is only foreshadowing what will happen between now and 2004. The Kansas media are 95 percent far left.

The Lyons Daily News is big-time conservative.

But the Hutch News......I want to puke on them. They are awful.

The left will try, but they won't succeed with Brownback. They tried it before and it only made him more popular. He is such an icon and popular enough there is no way the left will succeed in defeating him like they did the governor's race.

Luckily, mostly the RINOS only get elected at the state level. Real Republicans get sent to Washington.

The media is left everywhere. But its influence counts for less than you think what with the voice we have right here. And I can express my opinion unfiltered and uncensored. That is a refreshing change from the old days when I could expect to get only half a letter published in my local newspaper.
