FK – We’ll never have the ‘perfect’ candidate, whatever that would be. What we need is one who will work to restore the Bill of Rights and expand human liberty, not ‘democracy’ or corporatacracy and expel the communists from our country.

Kentucky Republican Primary Remains Toss Up
Key findings from the survey include:
-The candidates are tightly clustered with James Comer at 28%, Hal Heiner at 27%, and Matt Bevin at 25%. 20% of voters remain undecided, and beyond that 43% of voters who are currently supporting one of the candidates say they’re open to changing their minds. So that leaves only 46% of the electorate firmly committed to someone at this point, with the other 54% of voters still persuadable.
-James Comer emerges from this week still having the highest favorability rating of the three candidates. 50% of voters have a positive opinion of him to 25% with a negative one for a +25 spread. Matt Bevin at +24 (48/24) is not far behind with Hal Heiner clearly lagging the field at only +11 with 44% of voters seeing him favorably and 33% unfavorably.
FK – Take Back Kentucky endorsed Comer. I agree, if for no other reason than he has an actual record as a politician, which means we have actions and votes we can look at, because what they say during a campaign means nothing. Comer was instrumental, with the help of pro-hemp activists, in forcing the Kentucky government to look at hemp as a viable crop for Kentucky farmers. I hope it’s all some claim it’s cracked up to be. The real question is why the hell are we asking ‘permission’ from the government to grow anything at all?
Of course the last question casts serious doubts on the intelligence of the respondents:
So many don’t have a clue and don’t want one. If you handed a lot them a clue on a silver platter they’d spit on it. Simple sad fact.
Court Rules NSA Spying Is Illegal, but McConnell Defends Patriot Act’s Section 215
Pressure mounts as Congress dives into NSA fight
McConnell has indicated he has no desire to take up the Freedom Act, which he has said would cripple American national security. In particular, he objects to language in the bill that would shift possession of the records database from the NSA into the hands of the private telephone companies, a proposal he said would undermine the agency’s control and slow the government’s access to potentially vital information.
“At best, the new system envisioned by the USA Freedom Act would be more cumbersome and time consuming to use when speed and agility are absolutely crucial,” he said in scorching remarks from the Senate floor on Thursday. “At worst, it will not work at all because there is no requirement in the legislation that the telecoms hold the data for any length of time.”
“Put differently, Section 215 helped us find the needle in a haystack, but under the USA Freedom Act, there may not be a haystack to look through at all,” he added.
Yet it’s unclear whether McConnell has the political support to push through a “clean” reauthorization of the law, given the likely opposition from nearly all Democrats as well as a handful of Republicans, including Lee, Paul and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
FK – As I’ve said over and over again, we’re gonna have to go up there. Not packin’ signs. Even if by some miracle Rand Paul made it into the now red house the trash in the congress would stall or destroy any good he might do…
Don’t vote until you’ve asked the right questions and looked at their records and affiliations:

FK – Why I take deep umbrage at this. We don’t have any jerks like this in Ol’ Kaintuck, just mccommie, and heiny, and the guv, and the attny. gen. and most of the House… Sigh.
Sourced here.
The politicians have to reflect the willful ignorance of the voters to get their votes.
What they say during a campaign means nothing. Their records and affiliations, past and present, are all that matter. Questions for your candidate
New Hampshire Activists Launch Two New Initiatives on April 19
Well-known Conservative activists and like-minded constitutionalists in New Hampshire and surrounding states will launch their new initiative, the 603 Alliance for the purpose of impacting the outcome of the New Hampshire First-in-the-National Primary election.
These activists realize from past elections that splitting their votes among numerous conservative candidates enables the moderate establishment to cruise to victory, and that only a consolidating effort on their parts will result in a victory for a conservative candidate.
The 603 Alliance has found a solution to this problem and will be revealing that plan to their supporters at the Summit meeting on April 19th, when the 603 Alliance is launched at the Crown Plaza in Nashua, NH, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Details on speakers and content of this Summit will be posted on the 603 Alliance website. www.603alliance.org
FK – Not the first time something like this has been attempted…
