Bevin's opposition to casinos & med Mary Jane POes me to no end.
I'm voting against anyone who opposes marijuana and gambling. Regardless of party. Period. This state has been backwards for way too long!

Thank you. I agree, it is that importantFor some voters, there are individual issues they feel so strongly about that they override every other issue.
For me, it's the abortion/planned parenthood thing. Other things are important but this one will determine my vote. I will NEVER vote for a candidate that supports any type movement, funding of a program, legislation, etc...that will contribute to, lead to or permit the killing of children. Period.
The “save the unborn” candidate for governor, Matt Bevin, is shamming a lot of gullible voters on the abortion issue. Just last year, he made campaign donations to a pro-choice private school classmate in Maine who received perfect ratings from Planned Parenthood. He’s a straight out carpetbagging liar campaigning on issues he has no strong moral convictions over.For some voters, there are individual issues they feel so strongly about that they override every other issue.

Marijuana and gambling...SMH
Gambling is legal and long as it's the lottery or on horses. Bevin is a hypocrite.Marijuana and gambling...SMH
False . . . LMAO! Just because something is a year old makes it untrue? Just because you don’t like the source makes it untrue? A friends campaign . . . absolutely possible but still makes Bevin (tRump lite) a hypocrite. You always a snowflake when the truth is given to you?False
This article is over a year old and in the Curious Urinal.
Any chance he just donated to a friends campaign because they are friends?
Come on now, it’s only $250-$500 million a year when the pension hole is much more. Why would Kentucky want that revenue when every state surrounding us is taking it? The dude is a hypocritical holier-than-thou snake oil salesman. And 50% of Kentucky voters will buy it hook, line, and sinker.Gambling is legal and long as it's the lottery or on horses. Bevin is a hypocrite.
Snowflake? I don’t think so. Hypocritical, maybe. I’ll take my chances with a guy who has a good track record against abortion vs a guy who actively and vocally supports it.False . . . LMAO!

I really don't care what the guy "feels" about abortion. I'm more interested in his actions. If he tries to shut down pp centers i.e abortion centers, I'm for him. Whereas we know the other guy openly supports women's right to murder her child.Come on now, it’s only $250-$500 million a year when the pension hole is much more.

Why SMH?
I've never done either but they should be legal. Adults should be able to choose if they want to do these things. Every other state is/will legalize both in time but our backward ass state will be last. Kentucky has too many goody goodies that think gambling and marijuana are "bad" or "sinful". The state is losing money that they could be making on both the longer they put it off.
Apparently there are those in Kentucky who would be willing to throw away all of the economic growth Bevins has promoted for Kentucky over a joint or a $2 bet on the Cats. And we wonder why politics is so screwed up. Does Kentucky want to go back to the corrupt "good ole' boy network" of the Democrat Party and their anti- business, anti-job growth, anti- low taxes and no economic growth? Really?Deciding who you're going to vote for using marijuana and gambling as the main reasoning is ridiculous IMO. They are short term fixes that would create long term problems.
IMO, the most viable possibility of having a good economy lies in tourist industries. There are people that would pay a lot of money to spend weekends in a cabin watching the wildlife, fishing/boating in an area like the mountains of a Martin County.I'm not even against gambling, but it needs to be done wisely. Make the hardest hit areas of Eastern KY a gambling zone, if possible. Something that would draw in outside money to help rejuvenate the local economies. With a long term vision to make it a destination.
Gambling you say. In 1987 when the lottery was being talked about. We were all told that if the lottery became law that the states financial problems would become a thing of the past. Well, how did that work out?I'm voting against anyone who opposes marijuana and gambling. Regardless of party. Period. This state has been backwards for way too long!

No problem with med mj but we don't need more people out there running around/driving around with impairment.And to make my opinion clearer on gambling and legalized mj;
The fact that this state gambles like hell at racetracks, lottery sales and SLOT MACHINES already makes us more than a tad bit hypocritical about gambling. What they really mean is that the racetrack lobbyists want casinos but only at THEIR TRACKS.
As for legalizing mj. I have mixed feelings. I despise drugs. I think drugs are the scourge of America. But I can’t ignore the medical mj benefits. I know folks with my disease(RA) benefit from it. So I’m mixed.
That’s it. Sorry for the long posts.
Politics is screwed up because society is screwed up. As long as we can freely smoke a joint or place a bet, who gives a rat about killing a child......wow.Apparently there are those in Kentucky who would be willing to throw away all of the economic growth Bevins has promoted for Kentucky over a joint or a $2 bet on the Cats.

Exactly.Doesn’t matter what they legalize or what politicians promise to fix by legalizing it...the revenues will be diverted, misused, mismanaged, embezzled, or otherwise generally wasted by any reasonable measurable standards.
Term limits would solve so much of what ails us. 12 years maximum for anybody in Congress! Yes, I mean both democrats and republicans.Exactly.
IMO, The role of an elected politician should be to represent the interests of his constituents but ultimately, make the decision that benefits the state/country. With each pol focusing only on re-election, we have the group make lots of foolish decisions just so each pol can say he went to bat for his district.
Example: New highway in a little traveled part of the state; Grants to build a golf course here or there; A new courthouse for smith county; Tax dollars to feed pet projects/supporting orgs like national arts programs, etc... instead of focusing on big issues that impact the entire state nation.
Term limits are needed badly with limits being one or two terms. No re-election 30 years from now...just two terms.

While I will vote for Bevin and am a Trump voter, I can understand why some will flip to the dark side.I agree in theory.
But, what do you do with the staffers. The people that are not known to the public? The ones that move on to the next pol that is elected.
Look at The Squad. They are figureheads for something bigger.
Edit: Sorry to delve further off-topic. Quick, somebody explain why Trump voters are gonna vote for the the good man Beshear!

Last thing I saw was from last week or the week before that showed it was tied.anyone have recent polling data ?
Some take exception to how he spoke about teachers. Though he is at least trying to resolve the problem, he comes across as....well...petulant.
