June 24, 201016 yr In today's political environment neither candidate's views, abilities, experience or anything else count. All that matters is the letter behind his name. If you want power consolidated in one party behind Obama, vote Conway. If you want power split and a check on Obama, vote Paul. At least, I think that's how the majority of voters will end up deciding. Sad state of affairs; but I agree.
June 24, 201016 yr Federal Election law requires political committees to report the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employer for each individual whose contributions aggregate in excess of $200 in a calendar year. Your contribution will be used in connection with Federal elections and is subject to the limits and prohibitions of the Federal Election Campaign Act. Source: DNC website. I don't know if the RNC website spells this out or not. I'm afraid if I visited there, my PC would melt down in protest. According to NWO on post #85-for Obama it was for $1 or more-so which is it? Maybe I just didn't give enough to my candidates.
June 24, 201016 yr Frankly, given that All Tell thinks Paul is a loon and is only voting for him for the simple fact that he's not Jack Conway....it's beginning to sway me back to the Conway camp. :lol: I'd rather vote for someone who will do SOMETHING, than someone who'll represent our state as a buffoon. Surely Conway would get something done that I agree with. I don't think there is any doubt which way your ballot will swing.
June 24, 201016 yr Looks like Candidate Paul has done an about-face. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100622/ap_on_el_se/us_kentucky_senate;_ylt=AqUuGqMO5YuOucmkA43lmKXZa7gF;_ylu=X3oDMTM3ZGVsZXE4BGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwNjIyL3VzX2tlbnR1Y2t5X3NlbmF0ZQRjY29kZQNtb3N0cG9wdWxhcgRjcG9zAzQEcG9zAzQEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNsawNyYW5kcGF1bGZsaXA- Disheartening to say the least. Larry Sabato's quote about having to "make your peace to a certain degree with the establishment" in order to win is a spot-on assessment. This is the kind of thing your run-of-the-mill politicians do all the time. I was hoping Rand would be different. He may well be different when/if he gets elected, but this doesn't bode well with voters such as myself who cast their lot in the primary with him because he advertised himself as something different--ala George W. Bush claiming to be a "conservative" when fiscally he was just the opposite, & Barack Obama claiming to be an agent of change & a beacon of hope. Edited June 24, 201016 yr by Randy Parker grammar
June 24, 201016 yr ^ I've been around long enough to have learned that very few politicians, regardless of the letter behind their name, are able to deliver on their campaign promises.
