Senate Minority leader, Mitch McConnell will not be in Kentucky to congratulate the winner of the Kentucky Republican Senate Primary. Poor Mitch election night and no where to go. No, Mitch McConnell, hand picked candidate in the winners circle and poor Mitch will have to drink Rand Paul's tea at the Kentucky GOP "unity" event Saturday, May 22. I've always hoped that a Democrat would put "Bankster" Mitch McConnell in his place, but my hopes were never realized. So in this case Rand Paul the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but not enough of a friend to get my vote in the general election. That being said, it sure is nice to see Mitch McConnell put in his place. Kudos to Rand Paul!
Click here to see the video: In the video of Mitch McConnell endorsing Trey Grayson Mitch McConnell's speech seems slurred. If you notice when he says "President Obama's spending threatens to destroy more jobs" the video cuts away from him and when the video cuts back to him the right side of his mouth seems to be partially paralyzed.
Bluegrass Politics “Trey Grayson has a proven conservative record as Secretary of State, cutting his office budget by 15 percent and ensuring that Kentucky’s taxpaying families have easy access to information about his office and budget,” McConnell said. “He understands that Kentuckians are his first responsibility and has worked to make his office more efficient and effective to meet their needs.”
Here in Kentucky Progressives have gotten quite used to the hypocrisy of the Senator who represents Communist China for the state of Kentucky, Mitch McConnell. However, even as hypocritical as he has always been in fighting against working men and women all over the world, sometimes his stunning hypocrisy actually manages to surprise. Like on the banking bailout and new regulations. Of all folks in Washington it seems McConnell would be the one that would just want to keep his mouth shut. I guess when you have gotten away with flat-out lies and rank hypocrisy for so long however, you just expect to keep doing it.
Below is a screen capture of Trey Grayson's Web-Site. Dick Cheney has this to say about Trey Grayson: “I’m a lifelong conservative, and I can tell the real thing when I see it. I have looked at the records of both candidates in the race, and it is clear to me that Trey Grayson is right on the issues that matter – both on fiscal responsibility and on national security.” Click here to read Prison Planet article.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One thing we have known in Kentucky for a long time now whatever political stripe you are is quite simply, Jim Bunning is the crazy uncle of Kentucky politics. His antics have been well documented, forcing Mitch McConnell to use his machine to force the walking embarrassment to a disgraced party out of the race in favor of someone he hopes can actually win against either strong candidate the Democrats can field. Well, now we are finding out that if a Repubican is elected in Kentucky we will not only lose a crazy uncle, but gain a crazy nephew.
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.
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.
It appears as if another serious candidate for retiring Senator Jim Bunning's seat will emerge today. Rand Paul, son of former Presidential candidate Ron Paul who himself developed an almost cult-like following with very deep pockets will be announcing his candidacy during the maniacal spewings of Glenn Beck today.
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.
