RE: “Trey Grayson’s campaign is finally unloading on Rand Paul.”
NRA Rules of Safe Shooting:

Has Grayson forgotten these rules when “unloading”?

So Rand won’t blindly commit to supporting the repub Senate leader under whose watch the repubs got shellacked in ‘o8.
So Rand, who has committed to only serving two terms won’t sign on to supporting THE career politician of Kentucky.
So Rand won’t blindly commit to supporting a sitting Senator who openly and vigorously supported his opponent in a PRIMARY?
GOOD!…All the more reason to support Rand Paul.

I like DeMint way more than McConnell.

Hey Paultards and just regular-tard Marcus Carey,
You don’t take a punch very well.

What I got from reading the article on Lemkins’ suit is she is technically suing “unknown defendant” – the commenter. She is subpoening the H-L/Kentucky.com to get what info they have on the commenter. FYI, WKYT.com’s story on the matter has more detail.

My point is that it’s hilarious.
Especially after the salacious things the woman said about the MURDERED Amanda Ross. How she can reconcile the nasty, nasty shit she spewed?? I have no idea. Blamed her for her own death. Sick.

JS…
Just because someone might counter punch does not mean that they can’t take a punch.

Marcus has yet to admit that he’s upset over his son losing a job on the Bunning campaign.

I giggle whenever a brand new politician without any political experience imposes term limits on themselves. Maybe Ayn Rand Paul should go ahead and tell us what his excuse will be at the end of a potential second term for why he’s breaking his solemn promise and running for a third.

I giggle when an incumbent/experienced politician sidesteps the subject of term limits altogether.

The PEW article, I believe, focuses on states that particularly were hit by the housing bubble and fiscal mismanagement. Our state did not have outlandish housing price increases nor the outrageous fiscal mismanagement so PEW did not consider KY to be part of their analysis. I am certain that we would fall under some other analysis of epic proportional loss of revenue.

PEW itself says it only focused on “big states.”
I was attempting to point out that every state has experienced major problems. Not just those in the PEW bit.

I hate to be picky on this but they looked at all states. Its just that KY didn’t quite make the cut in terms of how KY rated along side of the other states. They used a score card analyzing each state. KY’s score of was 21 and their cutoff was 22 for similarities to CA. While the scoring may be arbitrary in your terms it made sense to not include states with a lower score than 22. I don’t think they were saying anything about the fact that KY or any of the other states were not hit hard. It was a matter of degree from their perspective.
