The news media loves nothing more than to demonize and ridicule the Republican Party, and that's because probably 90% or more of the media are Democrats. So it stands to reason that they want to drum up votes for their cause. Unfortunately, this tremendous influence the media enjoys causes some voters to vote against their own best interests. In our great state the Democrats, who control our current state government, are the corruption stars. Dole has not only represented our state well, she is a corruption free zone in state politics.
