Mongiardo, Paul Post Strong Leads in New Poll

by: RDemocrat

Sun Mar 07, 2010 at 18:38:59 PM EST

In the race to replace Kentucky's "Crazy Uncle" Jim Bunning in the United States Senate a new poll is out. It has found that Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo and radical eye doctor Rand Paul with significant leads in the Democratic and Republican primaries. Besides the top four of Mongiardo, Conway, Paul and Grayson no other candidate seemed to garner much support.

Bunning's Idiocy Heats Up Kentucky Senate Race

by: RDemocrat

Fri Mar 05, 2010 at 16:01:26 PM EST

The Kentucky Senate race was getting quite boring. Leave it to eccentric, Looney Tune Jim Bunning to heat things up. One would like to think that the outgoing Senator who was shunned by the McConnell machine because he is a can or two short of a six pack decided to shake up this race but then you realize that well, Bunning is a can or two short of a six pack. However, his callous, uncaring and hypocritical "stand" earlier this week against the nation's unemployed has indeed ignited the Kentucky Senate race, which quite frankly was becoming a yawner.

Bunning's Actions Ripple Across America but are Supported by Some at Home

by: RDemocrat

Mon Mar 01, 2010 at 16:11:19 PM EST

By now everyone knows about the block Jim Bunning decided to put on unemployment benefits. However, this move did not just effect the unemployed. All across America many federal programs will furlough 2,000 other workers without pay and will indefinately end construction projects across the country.

New Republican Civil War in Kentucky

by: RDemocrat

Sun Feb 28, 2010 at 01:53:54 AM EST

Ah, we remember the most hilarious civil war that broke out between Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning which toppled the crazy uncle of Kentucky politics and recruited another McConnell "golden boy" akin to disgraced Governor Fletcher in Trey Grayson. But, enter fringe right-winger Rand Paul into the mix and you have the makings of a brand new Republican civil war in Kentucky to laugh at.

Republican Road to Senate Control Still a Longshot

by: RDemocrat

Wed Feb 17, 2010 at 11:43:31 AM EST

You know with all the troubles partly caused by the Republicans being the "party of no", America is in a sour mood. Nothing good is getting done in Washington because so many Democrats are wanting to be "bi-partisan" and so many Republicans just think the road to Congressional control is to make Democrats look bad. Now, many of them are predicting Senate control after the 2010 elections. However, even with the toxic environment for incumbents this will be a long road for Republicans.

Will Kentucky Democrats Have Real Choices In The 2010 General Election?

by: Hillbilly

Wed Jan 20, 2010 at 22:59:59 PM EST

When Democrats go to the polls in November to elect members of Congress and the US Senate will there really be any difference between the Democratic and Republican candidates? The answer to that question depends on the candidates and to some extent, where you live.

Democratic Senate Primaries Promise Fireworks

by: RDemocrat

Mon Nov 23, 2009 at 17:41:55 PM EST

With all the hoopla made by Republican looney-tunes who demand even nuttier candidates than they already have one expects a very lively primary season. However, it is not only the Republicans who are promising to have a lively primary season. In a couple of states at least including my own of Kentucky primaries are firing up and getting ugly. Then of course, there is always the chance of new primaries if Democrats stab their Progressive bases in the back.

Fired Up And Ready To Go? - Really?

by: Hillbilly

Thu Nov 05, 2009 at 02:23:53 AM EST

Fired up and ready to go? Only if you're a Tea Bagger or a Right Wing Coservative.
Gotta hand it to these folks, they are fired up and ready to go and the Progressive Democrats seem to be lazy, ready to sit on their rear ends and whine. Virginia, New Jersey and Maine are proof positive of lackadaisical, lazy, carefree Progressive Democratic efforts.
When I wrote this April 15, 2009, I wasn't kidding:

The Kentucky Democratic Party and the 6th Congressional District Executive Committees sponsored the Democratic Family Fall Festival in Lexington Saturday October 17, 2009.

The Latest Alleged Daniel Mongiardo Audio Recordings

by: Hillbilly

Mon Oct 12, 2009 at 16:17:28 PM EDT

I questioned the previous Mongiardo audios, but this audio appears to be real. If it is, then Daniel Mongiardo may have a real problem.
Reckon Jack Conway, the Kentucky Attorney General will help Daniel Mongiardo find out who is doing the audio recordings or does Daniel Mongiardo already know?

by: Hillbilly

Thu Oct 01, 2009 at 15:05:21 PM EDT

Opinion: Proof Positive Republicans Are Lazy Ass Slackers That Will Copy Your Work!

by: Hillbilly

Wed Sep 30, 2009 at 01:17:10 AM EDT

The party that lays claims to work ethic and morals is nothing but, in my opinion, a bunch of lazy ass, immoral slackers and here's my proof.
The Republican State Leadership Committee, no less, put up this video of Jack Conway, speaking at Fancy Farm in 2007, on their site. This is the video I shot of Jack Conway speaking at Fancy Farm in 2007.
The Republican State Leadership Committee copied my video without permission. Check the audio glitch at 0:49 seconds into my video and the same audio glitch 0:33 seconds into their video.
I am asking they take their video down and apologize for using my work without permission. I am also requesting Trey Grayson and Rand Paul tell The Republican State Leadership Committee to get off their lazy asses and shoot their own videos. Both videos are after the hump.

Fri Sep 04, 2009 at 10:29:37 AM EDT

Two polls released today are showing Kentucky's mood on a couple of important fronts. One is gauging our support for a public option and the other looks into our Senate race. They were both conducted by Research 2000 for Daily Kos.

Kentucky Senate Poll Brought Harsh Realities

by: RDemocrat

Thu Aug 20, 2009 at 00:12:11 AM EDT

I have been so tangled in the healthcare fight that I failed to mention we had a new Senate poll in Kentucky yesterday by Survey USA and it brought with it some hard realities in this race. It is going to be a very close primary on the Democratic side and it promises to be one tough race in the fall of next year.

Republican Rand Paul Is The Most Popular Kentucky Senatorial Candidate On Youtube

by: Hillbilly

Mon Aug 03, 2009 at 21:50:55 PM EDT

See the screen capture of our Youtube videos of Jack Conway, Daniel Mongiardo, Trey Grayson and Rand Paul.
Rand Paul wins the Youtube views hands down. His video also has the most comments and the highest ratings. Trey had better get ready for a real fight.
Rand Paul is for real.

KY-Sen: Democratic Race Sizzles in Fancy Farm

by: RDemocrat

Mon Aug 03, 2009 at 01:05:11 AM EDT

Here is my roundup of the Democratic fireworks at Fancy Farm from Kos and Progressive Blue.

Ah, Fancy Farm. A throwback to the old days of politicking when candidates could not use huge dollars to run 30 second ads and actually mingled with the voters. Political careers have been made or broken for well over a century in the blistering August heat of Western Kentucky. Although the weather was unseasonably cool this year, the two main competitors for Kentucky's Senate seat provided plenty of fireworks.

Mongiardo Spells out Opposition to Cap and Trade in Paducah

by: RDemocrat

Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 02:03:17 AM EDT

Unfortunately one of the major players in the Kentucky Democratic Senate Primary was in Paducah today and I was not able to attend. Daniel Mongiardo came here to talk about his opposition to Cap and Trade. After losing the second quarter fundraising race he sought to cement some support among Western Kentucky voters who may be worrying that some of the cheaper electric rates in the nation may be going up.
