November 3, 201015 yr You just nailed why I can't stand Yarmouth. He votes with Obama 99% of the time and couldn't care less about the folks back home. I disagree 100%. I think he obviously represents his constituency. Isn't this his 3rd or 4th term?
November 3, 201015 yr You just nailed why I can't stand Yarmouth. He votes with Obama 99% of the time and couldn't care less about the folks back home. If he isn't voting like his constituents want, why did he get re-elected?
November 3, 201015 yr I disagree 100%. I think he obviously represents his constituency. Isn't this his 3rd or 4th term? How did I know you were going to say that? Do you think the majority of his constituency was for Obama's health care, bailout of AIG, GM, and Chrysler, cap and trade, ban of off-shore drilling? I disagree with you 100%.
November 3, 201015 yr No one doesn't know what they're getting with John Yarmuth at this point. Even in a Republican year, he's cruising.

Then wasn't this their chance to show him they weren't with him? Why did they not oust him? I think that you are possibly not in tune with the majority of his constituency. I would think that even a combination of one to three of those issues would have yielded a Lally win if the majority in fact felt he wasn't representing them to their liking.
November 3, 201015 yr Author Why is that?A senator's vote has a lot more power than a congressman's IMO.
November 3, 201015 yr A senator's vote has a lot more power than a congressman's IMO. I guess it depends on what you want from your elected officials. I want the goods for Louisville. What goes to the state doesn't seem to make any difference in Louisville....I'm still waiting for those bridges. :lol:
November 3, 201015 yr Rand Paul still ahead of Conway by 8% with 78% reporting. Yarmuth ahead by 12% at this point, with 84% reporting: November 02, 2010 - 08:34PM ET U.S. House - District 3 - General Kentucky - 432 of 515 Precincts Reporting - 84% Name Party Votes Vote % Yarmuth , John (i) Dem 114,576 55% Lally , Todd GOP 90,250 43% Martin , Edward Lib 1,662 1% Hansen , Michael Ind 1,062 1%
November 3, 201015 yr Author You just nailed why I can't stand Yarmouth. He votes with Obama 99% of the time and couldn't care less about the folks back home.The majority of his "folks back home" seem to agree with how he votes though. So in RM's defense...he does represent the people in our area.
November 3, 201015 yr Author I guess it depends on what you want from your elected officials. I want the goods for Louisville. What goes to the state doesn't seem to make any difference in Louisville....I'm still waiting for those bridges. :lol:I'm looking at basic math. And one vote out of 100 is a lot more powerful than one vote out of 435. I personally want the goods to stop a comin' all around.
November 3, 201015 yr RM, why do you think Paul is a loon? I don't think he's rational. Some of his ideas I actually could really consider, such as the flat rate tax (with modifications). But he is erratic, inflammatory and reactionary, IMO. I really think he's a loon. I realize he's ridden the wave of the anti-establishment. But I believe it's a huge mistake for Kentucky. I may be proven wrong. But I don't think so in my heart.
