Your joking, right?

 

No. Enlighten me.

No. Enlighten me.

 

Cruz, Huckabee, and of course Rand Paul have all made appearances in the Ashland area in the past 6 months. To be honest, I can't remember an election in my lifetime where candidates did not visit the area. I imagine this isn't the only portion of the state they visit.

Seriously,, :ohbrother:you are talking about the Kim Davis circus. I'm not sure that counts as actual campaigning.

 

May be a good thread to start.

Sorry, I must have missed the parameters you set before you asked me to enlighten you. To my knowledge Rand Paul never came to the area during the Kim Davis fiasco. He actually visited Ashland after the fact to host a "town hall" meeting, particularly to discuss the steel industry.

 

Showing up for the Kim Davis circus is still campaigning, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Don't think for a second that any candidate would take a chance on showing up for that event if it was not part of their campaign strategy. In the grand scheme of things, you can twist information around however you like to support your own theory. I was just providing you with the information you seemed to lack knowledge of. To be honest, those were just a few recent instances off the top of my head, since I live in the area, I'm sure if I felt like doing some research I could find more. Not to mention other presidents (I know of at least two) and candidates that have campaigned here in previous elections. But I have a feeling I would be wasting my time if I did that research for you.

I guess you're right showing up to Davis circus is campaigning for that side of the aisle.

 

No research needed. I learned tonight that Ashland is an important stop in KY for presidential candidates. However, I am certain the rest of the state is not frequented as much.

 

I am also certain KY has not gotten the attention that Iowa is currently receiving.

The Ashland area has always been an area that receives attention from potential candidates. Not just the KY side of things, but Ohio and West Virginia as well. However I would imagine (I won't guarantee it as I haven't researched it) the rest of the state gets attention too. Mainly the Louisville, Lexington and NKY areas in one form or another. I would guess you are right that this state does not receive the attention that Iowa gets, but then again most states don't.

The Kim Davis circus got your democratic candidate beat in Eastern Kentucky by a very large margin, which is unheard of in a Governors race. And if you think thats some bad info you should go over in that area and talk to some people who are not the liberals from Morehead State.

This state finally started voting its values for governor.

 

Too bad the GOP candidates didn't go running to help the Bundys and their take over of the bird lodge in Oregon. :lol:

Is voting based on your values a bad thing?

By all accounts the BGP conservative pundits deem it so if you are a liberal...those that even believe liberals have values, that is.

Are people on here able to give legitimate answers to questions? Not just you, but in general, it seems like the only way a question gets answered on here is accompanied by a jab or slight at someone or group of people. It's petty, adds nothing to the discussion, and is the main reason discussion only goes as deep as the first slight goes. If you don't want to answer my question, then fine. If you want to have an actual discussion then great, I do too, hence why I asked the question.

 

Maybe I misread his original post, but Hellcats seemed to be mocking the voters in KY for electing a governor based on values. If I did interpret his post correctly, then it seems like he is implying that voting based on values is a bad thing.

 

I'll give you a second shot. Regardless of party affiliation, is voting based on values a bad thing?

Candidates have traveled through every hamlet and holler in Iowa meeting thousands of Iowains.

 

I can't remember the last candidate that visited KY beyond Louisville.

Because east of louisville, those guys can shoot.

No. I don't think it is bad at all. What I feel is bad is when one or the other side derides and mocks the values of the other side. I believe in compromise; that no one way is the "right" way; that the "right" way is a melding of the best of both for the greater good of all.

I agree. You're just not going to like the way that turns out.
