    • It is despicable what Dole has done in this election. She doesn't live in the state she represents and she has taken dirty politics and lies to a new low. I despise her and her tactics. I sent money to Kay and intend to send more. It is wrong for these dirty ads to even be put on the air.

      I would love to see a new movement in our country to have fact checks on ads before they are aired with the notation at the bottom on whether they were true or not.

    • Imagine the horror that would issue if elected representatives represented ALL of their constituents, and not just the devout Christians!

    • The thing that really bothered me about the ad was the fact that the voice makes those who don't believe in God seem like horrible people. It would be nice if political ads could stop demonizing groups of people and start addressing the issues.

    • Elizabeth Dole should feel shame for using such poor taste. What a way to go out. SHAMED! If she isnt ashamed, she should be.

      God is not a political tool! The use of God to propel a political career is beyond the pale. How low can one go? If she cant be trusted with faith? How can she be trusted with the Rule of Law?

    • The sickest part to me wasn't the lies, it was the fear-mongering. Since when is it a requirement to believe in god to run for a political office?

    • Dole's ads are just Republican trash. My party, the Democratic party, might not be perfect but you know what, we have standards.

      I agree that the lowest of low has been leveled in campaign ads this year and I am disgusted by it.

      Dole deserves to lose and I am financially supporting her opponent. It is wrong to send out these type of ugly messages.
