Complete statement in Idaho Statesman here.

In this campaign, I have clearly and honestly stated my positions — both to the voters and to the press. These are common-sense positions found in the Republican platform — views that are shared by a majority of Idahoans. Helen Chenoweth-Hage and Butch Otter represented those principles before me and won election and re-election by wide margins. Unfortunately the Democrat media — including this paper — have neglected to report the facts about those positions. They have been too busy vilifying me and touting a distorted image of my opponent as a "moderate" or even a "fiscal conservative." No surprise. An honest liberal can't get elected in Idaho, and the liberal media knows it. Your newspaper's endorsement of Larry Grant doesn't surprise anybody either since he shares your liberal ideology -- Bill Sali, Republican candidate for Congress.

Question: Does Bill Sali have a legit gripe?
