Kansas state Sen. Nick Jordan said Tuesday that he would run for Congress next year, setting up a likely challenge to Democratic incumbent Dennis Moore. “I’m in,” Jordan said. The long-expected announcement presents Moore, the five-term 3rd District incumbent, a potentially formidable Republican challenger who has shown an ability to appeal to conservative and moderate Republicans. Moore campaign manager Julie Merz said only that her boss would “continue to provide moderate, common-sense leadership and top-notch constituent services” to the district. “He looks forward to campaigning — next year.” Jordan’s entry also sets up three pivotal congressional races in the Kansas...

It's Official: Chuck Ahner is the Republican Nominee for United States Congress! The Kansas Secretary of State certified the results of last Tuesday's Primary Election. According to the Kansas City Star, "Chuck Ahner surged ahead of the three other Republican candidates" and "trounced" his closest opponent in the race. Winning more than 52 percent of the vote in a 4-person race, Chuck Ahner was the clear consensus candidate to be the Republican nominee in the 2006 general election. Chuck's clear message of stronger education, limited government and economic growth resonated with the people of the Third District and brought together...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

The political recriminations from the cliffhanger passage of the Central American Free Trade Agreement last week are even worse than we thought. Nancy Pelosi, the House Minority Leader, is contemplating revenge against the 15 Democrats who had the nerve to vote for hemispheric growth and progress. The San Francisco Democrat called a caucus gripe session in the wake of last Wednesday's vote, and an article in the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call suggested that Democrats who voted yes may lose their favorite committee assignments. Our John Fund reports on OpinionJournal.com that Democratic leaders are especially mad at two Black Caucus...

Great new website called: www.firedennismoore.blogspot.com They are having a straw poll for the next nominee to take on Dennis Moore. I strongly encourage all Freepers (especially in Kansas) to join in. To get rid of ultra liberals like Dennis Moore....We need more bloggers and conservatives.

During the heat of a summer Republican primary, Kris Kobach promised to campaign against Democratic U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore like no one had before. He did. And he lost by a bigger margin than any Republican who has challenged Moore, whose political survival skills keep him in office in the Republican-dominated 3rd Congressional District. The latest win doesn't ensure an easy election for Moore in the future, but it does mean Republicans may have an even more difficult task of defeating him. There is chatter among Republicans on the Internet complaining that Kobach's conservative campaign emphasizing a gay-marriage amendment and...

latestNEWS From Kris Kobach For Congress Campaign: With his campaign on the ropes, Dennis Moore pulled the dirtiest trick in the book. This week, he attempted to smear Kris Kobach's character by trying to connect him to "white supremacists". Dennis Moore sent out a false mailing to tens of thousands of female voters in the Third District. Even though this mailing was technically from the Kansas Democratic Party, make no mistake: Dennis Moore is behind this despicable attempt at character assassination. Last week, Dennis Moore issued two press releases with the exact same content as this mailing. More importantly, Dennis...

Anyone interested in the Kansas 3rd Congressional District Race? A debate took place between Moore and Kobach, I watched it tonight. First of all, Dennis Moore is MORE liberal than John Kerry. A certain liberal magazine rated John Kerry 85 on a scale of 100. Dennis Moore got a 90!!!!! Secondly, John Kerry seems charismatic compared to Dennis Moore. That's saying a lot!! As to the debate, Kobach absolutely destroyed Moore. Kobach exposed the leftist Moore's record: http://activote.ontheissues.org/AVA/House/Dennis_Moore.htm He knocked Moore off his game many times. This guy is a REAL rising star in the Republican party. He's a former...

Upset by the message on ProjectUSA billboards in Kansas City, KS, a small group of race-identity activists held a news conference yesterday in front of one of them to complain and demand their removal. Tino Camacho, reports the Kansas City Star, president of the local chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), called the billboards “racist.” "We want the people (ProjectUSA) held accountable because of all the fear that they have created," said Mr. Camacho. "This is very, very … insulting to our community.” A reporter for the Associated Press called ProjectUSA yesterday looking for a response...

Moore Defies Numbers in Toss-Up Kansas District Monday, July 12, 2004 By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos WASHINGTON — It may look like a classic case of re-election vulnerability: a Democratic incumbent in a heartland district that appears to be growing more Republican every year. But Rep. Dennis Moore (search) says he’s outwitted the opposition in three prior elections and this year will be no exception. "I’ve had to put together coalitions of Republicans and Democrats and independents to win and I’ve been able to do that three times," the Kansas native told FOXNews.com. "People in my district may be registered one...

KS: Kobach on a roll, Taff adopts anti-gay position in advance of primary Adam Taff, a former fighter pilot, and Kris Kobach, a law professor are the two leading Republican candidates fighting it out to see who gets to advance to take on incumbent Democrat Dennis Moore in Kansas' 2nd District. Taff, who ran against Moore in 2002 and narrowly lost was expected to coast to the nomination, but has run into Kris Kobach, who is running as a "pure" conservative and emphasizing social issues. Taff, who has always positioned himself as a moderate, recently got creamed in a straw...

WASHINGTON — Call it Rep. Dennis Moore's biennial kabuki dance of survival.Moore, a Democrat representing Kansas' solidly Republican 3rd Congressional District since 1998, must always be wary of being too closely aligned with the more liberal tendencies of the Democratic Party.Which helps explain why Moore would not say whether he would formally endorse Sen. John Kerry, of Massachusetts, who has wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, and why Moore will keep his own re-election campaign distanced from Kerry's efforts in Kansas.“My coattails aren't long enough to carry a presidential nominee in my district,” Moore said. “They're about three-quarters of...

<p>Wherever Administration Moderator went, he was greeted by huge, enthusiastic crowds of cheering people – people as far as the eye could see - reaching out to Administration Moderator and he reaching back at every opportunity. Administration Moderator has got the right stuff, he loved being with the FReepers and the FReepers loved being with Administration Moderator. There is a genuine connection between the Moderator and his message and the FReepers. Administration Moderator could capture the presidency in 2004!</p>

Everyone agrees that Adam Taff is a contender. The Kansas Republican has $150,000-plus in the bank, name recognition and a firm grip. The big question facing the 6-foot-3 college-football star turned Navy fighter pilot is whether Republicans in Washington will help him defeat Democratic Rep. Dennis Moore, who narrowly beat Taff last year to hold onto his 3rd District seat in the Kansas City suburbs. Last time, as Taff and his political consultant, Joseph Gaylord, see it, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dropped the ball by not responding to Democratic television ads. "They were solidly in the mindset that...

Topeka - Congressman Dennis Moore told fellow Democrats on Saturday that he would not run for the U.S. Senate next year. And Moore's preferred candidate, former U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman, said he wasn't planning a campaign, either. However, a few prominent Democrats prepared to work on Glickman. Democrats are looking for a strong candidate to challenge Republican Sen. Sam Brownback in 2004, someone who is known to voters and can raise between $2 million and $3 million in campaign contributions. As they gathered Saturday for the events surrounding their annual Washington Days convention, party activists were inspired by Gov....

Filed at 6:11 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans yanked a radio ad Thursday that was aimed at black voters in Kansas and Missouri comparing Social Security benefits to slavery reparations -- except paid to whites by blacks. It was the latest skirmish in a multistate war over Social Security ads pegged to November's congressional elections. The commercial was paid for by a Republican interest group and aired in the Kansas City area on an urban contemporary station whose listeners are predominantly black. GOPAC, which is headed by Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, said the ad was a mistake and withdrew...
