Which Amy McGrath are you talking about. The one that said she would have voted to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. Or the Amy McGrath that the next day that said she would have voted against putting Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court? She's such a phony some people might be confused about which one you're talking about.
Kentucky Senate Race
- Thread starter kybobcat_rivals185207
- Start date
Surprise, surprise, surprise. I've said all along that this big buffoon "Mouth" Jones had no more desire to run for the U.S. Senate against Mitch McConnell than I did. The "Mouth's problem is he's a clown, he knows it & he knows that everyone else knows it as well. So the big, liberal, idiot figures that if people starts to think of him as knowing enough about U.S. government & world affairs that we could start to think of him as a U.S. Senator. That we might start to take him serious. Sorry "MOUTH" YOU ARE A JOKE & YOU ALWAYS WILL BE.
After inventing BBN and UK Athletics, Matt Jones has decided not to win the Senate race in Kentucky.
Of course, any jokes about the guy who claimed he wanted to bring levity to the scene just means I must be a hater!!!!!!!

Politics aside, I think it was a smart move for him not to run. I don't think he would have had a chance in hell against McConnell and I don't think the radio show would have survived without him for a year so I'm not sure there would have been anything to come back to.
Exactly. I don’t think he ever was going to run. Publicity for his show and now going to ink a new long term contract with IHeart radio which probably went up with his posturing. They need him. I love his show and am a listener so I’m glad it will continue. He’s a talent and carries that show. However imo he used this “ decision” to leverage a much brighter long term contract. Smart.. just like a pro athlete. Glad he’s still on and his show brings a lot of enjoyment to many people. Soldiers and out of state UK fans. I do think he is a charitable good hearted person with a great sense of humor. Good for him. You all listen as much as you bash. He’s good on the pre and post game shows and makes the ride home from the games much shorter and enjoyable
I just look at it a different way. There are rules relative to campaigning that supposedly level the field for candidates. He was not simply engaging in political speech but was, for all intents and purposes, campaigning at the time. Those that own the companies that have the right to decide if he gets to use their medium for campaigning decided they would no longer give him that access. Not a free speech issue, but a business decision.
Well damn...I was looking forward to the "D" race where the winner would take on MM. 
Thanks for nothing Matt!
Thanks for nothing Matt!Ever notice that when Clark Kent removes his glasses he is the spitting image of Superman?
Apparently that's not true. Vanetti was on this morning informing Matt that his show has now usurped Matt's as top revenue earner in their market... and the bulk of those numbers would have been generated long before Matt's little game of pussyfoot this past week. Matt was losing money and about to lose even more, that's why Matt is back on the radio.
Ed's a blind defender. Hey Kentucky has lost tons of ad revenue.
But dont worry ed, regardless if he ran or not, kentuckians werent missing the chance for amy barret to be put on the supreme court within the year. I think mitch just pushed through 4 more circuit judges this past week.
Matt knows how ****** politics are and how ****** both...yes that includes the party you talking point apologize for, are. While I do believe matt believes in doing more for KY...he also knows ppl like chuck schumer would bend his *** over to play with the team...and he never was serious about this
I don’t agree with Matt’s politics, but I don’t think we should be giving anybody crap about running for office. The fewer career politicians in office the better. Furthermore, the dude is self made not some multi-generational ******* this state seems to love to support.
It does show how party leaders on the national level are willing to crush the regular guy who wants to run for office. IMO the fore fathers intended the regular citizen to run for office and not have these career politicians. Pelosi and McConnell likely have more sway than the President.
In fact, I'm more determined to vote for Trump now than ever. Dems trying to destroy the country.
I heard MJ on the The Terry Meiners show yesterday afternoon during a segment they called "The Decision" (sarcasm)... I don't remember much of what was said concerning his decision to return to KSR... Terry and Matt seemed to spend equal amounts of time promoting each other. But MJ is writing a book titled "Please Mitch"???? Think it's about our AD Mitch Barnhart....... Oh.... and he blamed his 1.5 week hiatus on McConnell.
Isn't Vanetti's show on during drive time, or at least part of, on WHAS?
If so, there is a tad bit of difference between the two. Plus, this doesn't mean the show was losing money.
With respect, there's no way you listen to the show if you think he was campaigning. Regardless, even if he was campaigning, how is campaigning not political speech, man?
I don't want to offend you - but is it possible you just don't like his politics? Not that it matters, but I don't either! Friends used to say, "Scalia looks to his right and sees [Guindage]." But I am adamant about free speech,
No offense taken.
I don't like his politics but do listen to his show on occasion. It is somewhat juvenile at times for my taste but at times very entertaining. I absolutely respect the guy for his hard work and ambition. We need more people like him in our country even though he is misguided politically.
For me, even free speech has limits. When it comes to campaigning, which he was though subtly, there must be rules. IMO, his jabs at MM were part of his movement toward running for office. While he may still be jabbing, at least he is not acting as if he may be a candidate. If not candidates that owned media outlets could campaign in ways normal guys like us could not. IMO, if you have an issue with anyone, it has to be I heart or whatever company it is that is responsible for airing his show. It was a business decision for them.
Internet tough guy. My favorite douche bag. Not a chance in hell you would say anything to his face.
MJ would have actually filed to run for office. The opponents that could protest for equal air time would had to be the one's running for the party primary. But his show seemed to be an open forum for any political figure to come and discuss issues.

You may be the only person in the world who doesn’t think the federal involvement in the student loan industry is the direct cause of skyrocketing tuition/housing/etc. costs.
In Ky the KEES grants did the same. What was supposed to help kids with the cost of college was a wash about 10 years after the inception of the program. Colleges/u's saw that as guaranteed money and increased costs accordingly. After 10 years of the program, kids were no more better able to afford college than before KEES.
Of course, some would say costs were going to go up anyway...Not if the powers that be put a cap on tuition increases. There is zero reason class sizes need to be small in most college classes, especially during the first two years. I know of colleges that hire adjunct professors to do online classes and pay $3k or so, so it's not that all professors cost a ton of money.
If colleges/u's see a pot of gold, they'll raise their tuition according to what's in that pot.
ram, state schools cannot unilaterally raise tuition, they have state oversight that must agree to the increase. All institutions always want more.
I understand that. IMO, for years, they claimed to be underfunded, constantly going before lawmakers to raise tuition and for additional funds. Maybe they were or weren't underfunded, but when we dealt with cuts in revenue at the ps level, we had to make cuts and live with reduced revenue. Colleges made some cuts but I don't recall very many tuition hike requests being denied.
I did the math in the around 2007-8. You can do it too. The cost of education went up. Kids were in no better shape financially than before the KEES program began. IMO, colleges took advantage of KEES funds. The same way the take advantage of the availability of easy access student loan money.
I have an idea. Let's just eliminate the KEES program. For in order for it to accomplish what it was initially meant to accomplish, the scholarship amounts would have to be more than double of what they currently are. Kids are no better off dollar wise than they were before KEES.
If he keeps up the politics stuff on the show it may not survive anyway. I and several people I know quit listening months ago because of it.
I noticed last night he said he was going to quit trying to argue with people who had no interest in learning anything they didn't already agree with. It is a little arrogant to think that your view is the only one correct and any discussion you have with someone means they are wrong and should change their mind. No Matt maybe you are wrong on occasion and should consider learning something you don't agree with too.
Heard my first "As a mom, a wife, and a fighter pilot...." commercial over the weekend....[sick][sick][sick]
....well, actually just a new version of the same old BS we heard when she ran against Barr.

Never said it wasn't "true" although the fighter pilot stretch has been discussed ad nauseam on here.
I miss the ad where she's pretending to be a soccer goalie..... flopping all over the ground like a carp out of water.
