'Not a fair fight':In Kansas, GOP frustrated as money rolls in for Democrat and Senate race tightens

[Zorro]

In any other year, Rep. Roger Marshall would have been a slam dunk to fill this state's open Senate seat, held by Republicans since 1932.

Marshall, 60, is an obstetrician, the first in his family to go to college and a military veteran who served seven years as a captain in the Army Reserve. He espouses the antiabortion, fiscally conservative views that appeal to many in this mostly red Midwestern state, and he survived a tough primary challenge by a well-known conservative in August.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, there was little hope for Democrats to turn blue the open seat vacated by the retiring Sen. Pat Roberts. But the resulting health crisis and recession, as well as left-leaning anger about Republicans’ attempt to push through a Supreme Court nominee days before an election, has made this once sleepy race a close contest.

Marshall’s Democratic opponent, Barbara Bollier, 62, a state senator who only recently left the Republican Party, is also a physician and has centered her platform on pandemic response and expanding health care for needy Kansans. She has racked up a record third-quarter fundraising haul of $13.5 million and has raised a total of $20 million. Marshall raised $2.7 million in the third quarter and has a total of $5 million.

"No fair! People are putting their money where there mouth is! Wahhh! You didn't say, may I!"

That declaration of unfairness seems to be becoming rather childish, especially coming from a party known for resorting to the most "unfair" practices and manipulation of their "other" constituents, (the only ones that matter are powerful, wealthy, corrupt, etc.) You know, the ones who don't know better or have a even a lick of common sense. The gullible and poorly informed. The kind that tend to take somebodies word for it, (over and over again). The one's with a short attention span and strong confirmation biases that they can't even see.

Republicans are so used to getting their way with certain kinds of people. You see, when you are a republican, they let you do it. You can get them to vote against their own self interests. At least, that's what has worked so far.

So, yes, you could say that's unfair that their goose is being cooked and their game is being called out. I would call that a reckoning with truth and justice for a change.

3. So many tears, boo hoo hoo

As for my state voting for Bollier? There is a chance she wins. I do not know if the money has much to do with it, he has been representing only part of the state. Now that he is running for the whole ball of wax he has been outed as the scumbag he is. A really bad, dishonest run.

Come on Kansas. I was unsure you would not make Kobach our governor and you proved to me that you had some sense there if only just enough. Let us do that again. It certainly will go a long way into making things feel better. It will certainly swat a very large and well funded, self important and rigid set of uber conservatives and their hornets nest of lies.
