This is what desperation looks like... things are getting funky in Kentucky! (Gov race)
Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 01:41 PM by nonconformist
In the last 24 hours, Kentucky Gov Ernie Fletcher (R, naturally) displayed the Ten Commandments in the Kentucky Capitol building on the eve of the election and had Pat Boone call voters with an anti-gay diatribe ("Kentucky will be like San Francisco!").

Oh, and NOBODY KNOWS who had automated calls from the "homosexual lobby" calling on behalf of Beshear/Mongiardo (the Democratic candidate for governor).

And then, Oak Grove Mayor Dan Potter draped City Hall in police tape, blocking access to food, rest rooms and phones... basically the entire building, except for the polling location, in an effort to intimidate voters, prompting poll workers to threaten a walk-out.

It's all so... Rovian.

6. That album is a RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our lead git player has that...we've used cuts off that for set-openers. Enter Sandman is HYSTERICAL...what makes it even funnier is the big band he used can *seriously* cook.

Pat should stick to making joke records. He's intolerable when he's serious.

3. I think you're looking at what's become standard GOP tactics.
Sadly fair play and honesty are not something the GOP sees as a virtue. For them the motto is "By hook or by crook."

8. Uh, Oh, they've got Pat Boone on their side.
You just know his popularity with the "hip" crowd is going to cost us big time! :sarcasm:

Pat Boone seems to forget the affair he had. So monogamous relationships between two people of the same gender is a bad thing, but promiscuity between people of the opposite gender is alright by him. Quite the hypocrite.

:puke:

11. Kentucky will be like San Francisco?
You mean they're going to have trolleys and earthquakes and cute little row houses? KY already has some pretty massive hills...
