Congresswoman Nancy Boyda is refusing help from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

And she's pushing Republican rival Lynn Jenkins to do the same thing with the GOP counterpart in the 2nd District race.

But Jenkins doesn't seem likely to do it.

Boyda is seeking a second term in the 2nd District, which covers all or part of 26 counties in eastern Kansas. She's portrayed herself as independent of the national Democratic Party.

To that end, Boyda asked the Democratic committee not to spend $1.2 million on advertising in her race.

Now she wants Jenkins to ask the same of the National Republican Campaign Committee.

But Jenkins says voters should be free to sort out messages from various groups.

There's no Republican or Democrat candidate to vote for, anyway. They are both pro-abortion, that means supporters of Planned Parenthood, and by that measure, racist bigots and sympathizers with eugenics and Naziism. [This can be well established through the writings of Margaret Sanger and surveys of Planned Parenthood abortion mills, and the recently published criminal evidence implicating Planned Parenthood in multiple felonies.] Conservative Republicans, now tagged by KTRM as all would-be KKK members, will be attempting to improve their sullied reputations by refusing to vote for any pro-abortion candidate, Republican or Democrat, since they are ruthlessly racist.
