February 3, 201412 yr Are you sure about your numbers???? LINK TO NY TIMES OP ED I purposely picked the NYT since that the Holy Writ of all liberals. Highlights: The project has substantial federal financing; it is not the case that federal support is “not much.” (Federal funds are estimated to cover at least 60 percent and perhaps as high as 80 percent of the cost.) And a little sound byte from our Obamunist Governor about tolls: “There’s not a major bridge project in the country that doesn't involve the use of tolls and other creative financing mechanisms,” Gov. Steven L. Beshear of Kentucky said in an interview." Sounds like Steve Beshear supports McConnell.
February 3, 201412 yr Author SG' date=' are you asking us "who should I support?" as your first post says? I took that statement to mean political support. Or are you asking "who should I work for?" and leaving their politics out of it, as your quoted statement says?[/quote'] Who should I work for. But if it's not her it will pretty much cut the ties with half my family. BUT, if I get a job elsewhere, they created a job for me, it would be hard not to vote for that person. But I'm not a big fan of saying you will do one thing and end up not doing it, and even though it should be expected from politicians, it ticks me off when they lie to you directly.
February 4, 201412 yr With Jerry's ties to the Clintons, ALG would be well positioned to bring home the bacon for the Bluegrass state after Hillary's elected. Mitch hasn't brought home much bacon in recent years. He's been too busy fending off the Tea Party. Yes if ALG and Hillary win....I believe I can see us all being porked.
February 8, 201412 yr I'm seeing a bumper sticker somewhere in all this. "Grimes lied, SportsGuy's job died". Sorry my friend, don't mean to make light of your situation, it's kind of like a sickness with me at times. No offense intended.

February 9, 201412 yr c) Bevin If Bevin wins the nomination Grimes wins the general. We do not need the Tea Party to Murdock us like they did Indiana. As much as I agree with Tea Party principles if not for them there are at least 2 more R Senators (IN and MO) and quite possibly Harry Reid is sitting back home in Nevada.

Don't forget about Christine "I am not a witch" O'Donnell in Delaware.

February 9, 201412 yr Let's put the Olmsted dam project on the back burner. Big story is that Bill Clinton is coming to our state to campaign for ALG. Bill Clinton To Campaign With Alison Lundergan Grimes In Kentucky Senate Race TRANSLATION: I got the taste slapped out of my mouth in another thread after I took it on a tangent so I better try to get this thing somewhat back on topic. If the Dems are bringing out the DNA depositor in chief they must know they have an uphill battle here. On a side note, do you think ALG will wear a blue dress when she's with the former philanderer in chief? Of course if I was "married" to a battleaxe like Hillary I'd probably philander as well.
February 9, 201412 yr I've decided I'm going to place my vote on the candidate that best represents my views , regardless of party or " tea party" pokes . Or regardless of what happened in Indiania or Wyoming or New Hapshire or anywhere else. If Mitch best represents my views I'll vote for him. If not I'll vote for someone else. JMHO but its career guys like Mitch that are non responsive to the populace and more of the problem than any solution. Poster boy for term limits IMO.
February 10, 201412 yr McConnell has voted to raise the debt ceiling 9 times, voted for this past year's fiscal cliff deal, voted to fund Obamacare, voted for the bank bailout, voted for No Child Left Behind, voted for Medicare Part D. . . As a staunch conservative, I'd rather have a liberal Democrat (Grimes) than a big government Republican like McConnell whose only real accomplishment is destroying the Republican brand and demoralizing our base.
