Can't wait for Hillary to show up to some stump speech in Steam Punk clothing.
It was Thompson that asked Alexander Butterfield the question about whether there was a recording device in President Nixon's office during the Watergate hearings. A man who wanted the truth in the hearings regardless of what it might lead too.
Haha, so much funny in this thread. I'd guess Bevin wins a close one, just based on the horrible Bluegrass Poll showing Conway with a 5 pt lead last week. Those people are so awful at their jobs and give the Dem side the extra push of their thumbs on the scales year after year after year.
I don't know. UofL fans seem to put a lot of faith in that particular poll. As did, at least for a while, Senator-elect Dan Mongiardo. And Senator-elect Bruce Lunsford. Wait. You may be on to something....
Allie Grimes 1 point ahead of Mitch McC!!! - BG Poll
gets dumptrucked by 17 pts a few weeks later

LOL some twitter troll linked Mayor Jim Gray to the KKK and that clown mayor is actually on twitter denying it and stuff...
Man, enjoy these times because I don't think adults have ever been so dumb. It's fascinating as hell.
Don't forgot to not vote, bozos.

So you've seen this guy's checks??? You're BS meter obviously doesn't work because if the guy told you this then he is lying to you...else he was a very highly compensated state employee who worked for the state for a long time. Rule of thumb is you get 1.5% of your avg last 5 years salary per year of service. So if you worked 30 years, you'd get 45% of your salary. That's pretty standard for a defined benefits plan and if the plan was properly funded would be no problem to pay. State employees shouldn't have to pay the price because politicians failed to properly fund their obligations. if they choose to do so...good luck with future hiring and retaining good people.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaGood one.Of all the state employees that have ever been employed over say the last 30 years or so...I would say roughly 20% would be considered "good people" as you stated (or "good employees" as I'm sure you were implying) out in the real world in the market place. And 20% is pretty generous. Most of them would be fired out in the market place in the real world. Either for lack of performance, complete incompetence, insubordination, perpetual tardiness, or overall general laziness. Book dat.
And I don't care what department you are talking about. Sure there are a few exceptions here and there. But go to all of the state offices in all of the departments. That 20% rule will be a very accurate average accross the board. Guarandamnteeit.
There should have been an overhaul in the hiring procedures for state govt many moons ago. It's a joke.
Republicans would have walked away with this one if they nominated Heiner or Scott. Comer would have been a strong favorite to win. They nominated the one guy running who could lose.
This is unfortunate for Jim Gray

I've got this funny thing about not paying other people's bets.
So you haven't seen this guy's pension check from the state nor seen if he chose to take a lesser amount for survivorship. Truth be known there probably isn't a "someone I know" and you're making the whole thing up.
Let me add that you're such an internet toughman. It takes so much courage to tell someone to "piss off" on a message board.
I would want to know a lot more about the credibility of this group Anonymous before I would lend any truth to this.
I think this is accurate. Not sure about Comer though. Still for me, I'm not voting "for" Conway, as much as I'm voting against Bevin. Idiot is clueless about the medical exchange in Kentucky. He just spouts the typical "I'm against everything Obama did!" So, he didn't bother insuring his business, then used government handouts to rebuild his business? Then says that is the problem with America, relying on the government to bail people out. Plus, his act is already tiring where he ignores questions from reporters that have reported negative stories or asked him tough questions. He is a jerk and an idiot.
Heiner could have beaten Conway 60/40.
Yeah, I'm voting Conway though I don't like him. I will be splitting my ticket and voting for the Republican, Quarles, for Ag Commissioner. Seems to know more about farming and the job in general than the opponent who is a marketing exec who says a whole lot of nothing. Only idea I saw her publicize was GMO labeling, which certainly isn't going to help win me over.
He does not seem to question credibility of others accused of it (as long as they are not democrats). Typical Deee
I wonder if anyone else saw all of the other hate groups by number in there. Seems that there were a lot more of them ahead of the Christian groups but, you will not here that from the Dems or the mainstream media.
look at all these haters surrounding me everyday...... hating on a balla but they can't stop me
NEVER thought I would see a Master P "Stop Hatin" reference on the POLITICAL THREAD. Today was a good day.
Obama trolls the GOP candidates at a NYC fundraiser by saying how could they stand up to Putin if they couldn't stand up to CNBC moderators. Let's break down the idiocy of this:
-He boycotted a Fox debate in 2007
-The GOP is getting the changes they are demanding
-Uh, Syria...only redeeming argument is the press is ignoring it for the most part to save his embarrassment.

Usually you can take anonymous info to the bank. But Im not sso sure on this KKK thing. I just cant imagine an openly gay member of the KKK.
I literally cannot believe these are our candidates for governor. Conway is awful. Bevin is maybe the most dishonest, hypocritical candidate ive seen (other than Hillary), and comes off as a moron.
Those were the days - when politicians did what they thought best; rather than what would help their bank roll. What politician today would ask that question of their own party? Rand? Bernie? Im not sure.

Maybe Obama brings Candy Crowley when he meets with Putin. Probably throws Putin off a little bit when he has to deal with some clown lying for Obama.
I voted early this morning. And I voted the exact same way I am going to vote in the POTUS election...a write-in vote:

This is why Ryan refuses to talk immigration with this WH, via TheHill:
A newly leaked internal DHS memorandum produced for an off-the-record agency conclave reveals that the Obama administration is actively planning to circumvent a federal court injunction that suspended part of last November’s deferral-based amnesty initiative. The document, apparently prepared as follow-up from a DHS “Regulations Retreat” last summer, appears sure to re-ignite concerns in Congress as well as federal judges in the Fifth Circuit. The Administration has already been criticized from the bench for handing out work permits to hundreds of thousands of deferred action beneficiaries, in direct violation of a district court’s order. With the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals deciding any day now whether to deny the Administration’s request to reverse that injunction, this public leak has come at a critical juncture for U.S. enforcement policy.
Last June, four months after Texas federal judge Andrew Hanen’s order to freeze President’s DAPA and Expanded DACA programs—disclosure: the Immigration Reform Law Institute has filed briefs in these cases—DHS’s immigration policy makers apparently held a “Regulations Retreat” to discuss “different options” for “open market Employment Authorization Document (EAD) regulatory changes.” EAD is the statutory term for work permits. From a memo recording these discussions, we now know that the Obama DHS has, rather than pausing to allow the courts to assess the constitutionality of its enforcement nullification initiatives, been gearing up to roll out one or more of four plans drawn up at the meeting, each one designed to provide EADs to millions of nonimmigrants, including those lawfully present and visa overstayers, crippling the actual employment-based visa system on the federal statute-book.
