KENTUCKY NEWS: Nation Observes Kentucky
Kentucky politics has not received much attention from the state since the Civil War when President Abraham Lincoln said: “I hope God is on my side, but I must have Kentucky.
With the national media in all things Tea Party fascinated and in love with the most Republican U.S. Senate nominee, Paul Rand, one can expect that the degree of attention to continue at least until early November.
As the race between Paul and Attorney General Jack Conway, candidate of the Democratic Party, the game to the national honor, we hope this will be a race, which will focus on addressing our national challenges.
Kentucky is an ideal place for such a race, because the problem microcosm of Kentucky, the people need.
The unemployment rate is higher than the national average. The state suffers from the loss of jobs. In rural areas suffer more than urban areas, where urban-rural divide in politics, culture and education.
Kentucky, more seats, the environmental destruction caused by the wounds of energy. But we also fear the economic consequences of the transition from fossil fuels.
Kentucky is heavily dependent on federal spending late Paul. We will return $ 1.82 in federal support – all of agriculture to pay for prosperity – for each $ 1 we are in federal taxes.
Thus, it seems an ideal setting for inclusion in what appears to be a solution candidate, voters, made at the national level in these elections:
Do we want the government as a strong Tea Party proposes to reduce the movement? Or we will be better than the government’s budget decisions?
We are happy to see and hear intelligent debate on which of these two classes of the nation should be. We especially want to see them play in Kentucky to watch people.
It would be much more interesting, not to mention far more useful than the standard exchange of negative ads attacking, most often spring from half-truths and lies.
Thus, our desire and Paul Conway, they do not negativity and the kind of intellectual debate that Lincoln and Stephen Douglas would be proud.
Ultimately, seeing the people, must do both candidates want Kentucky proud if their behavior – they want to vote for Kentucky for them?
