No calm down. But you asked a question and I gave you an answer lol. Don't deflect because you get upset with my answer.
Upset? Ha Ironically just trying to get a kid talking about reasonable facts and not emotion.

Funny how the nation almedia has made MM a target and all of sudden all the minions are singing from the same set of music.

I watch Fox news everyday. The career field I work in requires it to be on everyday. Explain to me why my mind would be infiltrated with negative MM views when all I watch is pro MM propaganda

Spitballing...because you lie. So far you have ranted about Kaepernick's treatment, how KY sucks, and how much you hate DT and MM while prefacing every take with you being a conservative. Try to regroup.

Whom has more sway in the Senate, a first term junior senator, or the leader of the Senate?
One has little to no power and hopefully has ambition to help make decisions that will hopefully help the state of Kentucky and another powerful senator who has an ambition to fill his pockets and has become gluten with greed and power while Kentucky was thrown on the backburner? Idk I'll take my chances. I will say this I like Matt Jones' show but if given another young conservative option I would vote for them. I just am not afforded that luxury.

Yes but I loved George Bush I am pro-life, pro 2nd amendment (with some exceptions) and also will live and die on capitalistic views as well as military force training and action. Why do I simply have to believe in everything you do to be a conservative lol? Why must it be that way.

It is McConnell's and other political representitives job to bring economic growth to the citizens that they represent. Economic growth doesn't happen overnight. Coal miners might just want to mine but there are only about 4,000 mining jobs in the entire state and that number is dropping every year. I'm sure the buggy makers just wanted to build buggies when the automobile was invented but times change and industries come and go.
It will take decades to build roads necessary for economic development...it takes decades to raise the academic standards and educate people to take on the jobs of the future. Miners want to mine because for the most part that's the only thing they know how to do. What about their children? What about the futures of those people that sell to those miners once those mining jobs go bye-bye?

McConnell has the 3rd most powerful seat in the country and done next to zero for the people he represents. Making excuses that govenors didn't do anything...dude, until the last 20 years the state limited govenors to one term. The state has only had 2 govenors serve 2 terms...McConnell has been in the Senate 34 years. It takes a while to gain power and implement a plan...every govenor will have thier own plan and priorities and a limited time to produce...McConnell has had 34 fricken years.
He has known coal was going the way of the horse and buggy...he knew that tobacco use was falling...what has he done to replace those industries?
Toyota in Georgetown was started in 1986 just after he first took office but it was brought in by Martha Lane Collins and no help from Mitch.

The mines aren't coming back it doesn't matter what the orange clown tells you.

BTW, I bet your mine worker friends would like to see their Black Lung benefits funded...something McConnell is directly dragging his feet about. But I have to say...if they are still dumb enough to vote for him then I guess they get what they deserve.
Mining is dying and was dying way before Mitch. What was done then? What's s your answer, for everyone to leave and make it a nature preserve? What's your answer then?

They would take other jobs, gladly they would if they had options. They didn't get buyouts like automotive did. They had liberals like you do everything they could to shut them down without an alternative or a solution just because you dont like coal.
You'd rather a spotted owl have a place than hard working people.
The areas have untapped potential but folks like you rather uproot people and force them out instead of investing and bringing them in other choices.
Eat your tofu and drink your herbal tea at your poetry reading and keep making your uneducated stereotypical remarks that you and your ilk like to do while you do nothing.
The "orange clown" did more to help this country and those folks in 2 years than your joke from Chicago would have done with 4 terms as bicycle riding buffoon.

How has Mcconnell become a glutton for greed and power? Kentucky has not been thrown on the backburner, a US senator is there to be our representative in the operation of the federal Govt, Mcconnell has done that so well that he is now the leader of it. The state govt is what runs the operation of the state. Can you even vote in KY elections?

I like Jones show as well, but I wouldn't vote for him for Senator.

Again just because I have separate beliefs as you, I'm not automatically liberal. I also wasn't old enough to vote for Obama sir and I wouldn't have given the opportunity. I don't believe Donald Trump is an "orange clown" I just don't like his childish actions nor do I like the extra work he causes me anytime he says something idiotic lol. I would have voted for Marco Rubio or Ben Carson in last election i just wasn't old enough (I was 17)

Posts>>>>>>self-labels. We shall see. No one came close to saying bolded.

The fact of the matter is there is a binary choice and the Dems on the federal level have lost their minds. It could be whole lot worse than MM.

I can vote in Ky yes as an absentee ballot. I accidentally registered in Georgia last year and actually had to drive the 7 hours back to Kentucky to re-register for whatever reason.

Every major city has its problems you're right. They continue to elect new officials to make changes as should we, and I love Kentucky. I would love to come back home and I want to every day that I'm away but changes have to be made. We are moving backwards. You know something as simple as putting in cellphone towers in those regions. I grew up believing that it was normal to drive through areas and knowing that you wouldn't have cellphone service in some areas or hell a portion of where some of my family lives in Bath County doesn't have freaking running water lol. I tell someone about not having cell service in some areas and they look at me like we live in Haiti. Do you understand how ridiculous that is?
I just told you about areas that have improved and you revert back to someone who doesn't have running water just like a good liberal.
Guess what, there are folks in those places I named that are the same way and worse. No water. No electric. No food. If you're so ashamed of KY, don't come back. You can't seem to acknowledge the improvements that have been made.
All those folks that have cell service sure do have it better. They can get a hold of their local drug dealer so much better.

Why must posts be greater than self labels lol I am a registered republican in the state of Kentucky and I can't vote in the democratic primary regardless so I'm not sure why everyone is so upset. I just believe any option is better than MM as a voice for our great state

No I'm just a hater and I hate so much I have decided to just keep responding with the problems and issues I have with a certain subject. Just a hater lol. What a well thought out response Cawood.
I've read your responses. You have yet to give a solution. Just keep bad mouthing KY. Go ahead. Spell it all out. What's the answer. Better cell service right....ha ha.
Your problem is you are ashamed of your state because you buy into the stereotypes the liberals you hang around with have of KY. They don't have a clue and you don't either.

I see McConnell doing all kinds of things for the people of Kentucky. Here in Louisville we have two brand new bridges across the Ohio River that the dems like Yarmouth fought against for years. We also have a brand new V.A. Hospital that will begin construction shortly to benefit Kentucky veterans. Those are some major federal projects.

Don't come back lol? Really? I chose to join the military and at that point had to leave. I will eventually move back lord willing. But what an idiotic thing to say....again because I have a differing opinion from yours. And to answer that second section I just want everyone in our state to at least have the option to have things such as running water and electricity. Of course some people won't work regardless of the opportunity and natural selection takes place. I'm genuinely not sure why I have to be a liberal though and also about your "then don't come back statement" I am not ashamed of Kentucky. It is my first love before anything Kentucky is my home. I annoy people with the amount that I talk about Kentucky. The fact that I want things to improve for Kentuckians is not a sign that I dislike Kentucky. Some may get pissed at this but even before my country Kentucky comes first. be that as it may I apologize if I offended you.

Just an FYI, McConnell doesn't appear anywhere on the Presidential succession chart. Yes, he is the majority leader but Grassley is the president pro temp of the Senate.

To say that MM hasn't done anything for Kentucky is ignorant and unfounded. He hasn't got us all drinking free bubble up and eating rainbow stew, but he's done more for this state than probably ANY dem senator has done for their state.

You sure run KY down a lot if you love it as you claim. Haven't read anything positive from about KY. You just claim to love it but do not acknowledge it has gotten better over the years. Yes, some areas still need worked on, but many areas have grown exponentially.
I grew up with around folks without indoor plumbing. Went to churches that still had outhouses. Don't know any like that now. Why? Progress. Better living conditions.

Actually my remarks are very well educated...that's what you don't like. Dig deep into that bunker...dig deep!

They would take other jobs if they had options but then you defend Mitch for not helping to create those options. Do you not see your own defeatist circular logic?

Government can provide the mountains with better roads and infrastructure...because until that exists, nothing of consequence is going to come. Mitch should be your top advocate to get that moving...but you've already resigned yourself to losing. Sad.

Its not like that everywhere and I love Kentucky for its beauty and the people but I don't have to go into all of that man lol. Its gotten better in some areas such as Somerset which is where i lived before I joined. somerset changed a lot the few years i live there. Mostly up and down central Ky though. Eastern Ky is the way it is. Its actually gotten worse obviously with the coal industry being destroyed which I was also against. Western Ky seems to be forgotten about a lot with the national parks not being upkept and a few schools seeking funding and then ultimately a few have had to merge. Northern Ky is ravished by drugs moving in and out of Detroit/Ohio (same with EKy) But yea a few areas have gotten better. Was born in Lexington and its gotten better there. I know Louisville continues to grow as well as Georgetown and areas like Henderson.

They just repeat what they hear the loudmouth goober from Middlesboro tell them to think. McConnell has gotten dozens of conservative Fedral judges passed and appointed while the democrats were pitchforking in there regions about Russia.
He's done a lot but people like MJ just run their mouths and offer no solutions, just complaints.

Thats cool I'm glad thats benefited Kentucky lmao we are seeing such great improvement from that. This is where we differ. I could give a rats *** about the federal crap MM is doing to fatten his pockets I really could. I simply want him to help Kentucky and he did for awhile but his days of caring about this state have since long passed. Now he uses the state of KY as a platform to continue his reign of power.

I know what I said. I said it from the beginning. They want mine jobs because right now, that's all they have. No governor of KY has ever really fought to help them.
No democrat senator or republican one has either. You want to lay it all at the feet of McConnell because you're a lib with no answer but a lot of whining.
Hal Rogers has been one that has done immeasurable work to help the area. Better roads. Better access to water and electric. Rogers deserves all the kudos he can get. I'm sure he and McConnell have worked together on projects.
You act as if he has stood in the road and not allowed anything to happen. Local leadership has mainly been the problem in those areas. They wanted control and fought to keep other industry that give people other options.
Greed of a few has affected many for generations. I know this firsthand. Don't get up on a soap box and think you're going to enlighten me about the mountains.

So spearheading the legalization of hemp production didn't help KY? The former USEC site outside of Paducah is being federally funded to clean up, a several decade project, the lock system at KY Dam is being upgraded.

There is nothing any elected official can do to get coal mining to pick up, as long as Natural Gas is as cheap as it is. Its just cheaper to make power from NG than coal at this time.

A lot of it has to do with automotive manufacturing moving toward the south. Detroit ruled the roost for years but drowned itself with the unions and making a sub-par product while Japanese automakers come in with innovations and lower priced vehicles that were better and forced the Big 3 to get their act together. Everyone benefited from it.

Officially you can't if you are a registered republican and even more so there haven't been the greatest of options so I just sit back and wait..

You really are dense.

Those conservative judges will be shutting down anything too crazy the liberal whackos will do if they regain complete control. Things the people of KY are against as a whole.

"The University of Kentucky’s Center for Applied Energy Research also received grant resources to support the advancement of clean coal technology to help ensure that coal remains an affordable and reliable energy source for years to come.

With Eastern Kentucky communities and organizations like the Appalachian Regional Commission, I’m working to repair the economic damage left by former President Obama’s war on coal. I’m dedicated to supporting more economic development and infrastructure funding to help this wonderful region.

In response to Pike County leaders’ desire to draw increased tourism to the local economy, we collaborated to extend the whitewater rafting season at Breaks Interstate Park and secured funds to remove trash from Fishtrap Lake. In addition, when Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College nearly lost its ability to offer federal student aid programs, I championed legislation to stop that from happening so students may still access higher education in the region and pursue successful careers." - MM

Federal judges rule on things that affect all states in all kinds of industry and economic situations. These were and are important nationally and locally.
Could Mitch do more for KY, probably. Doubtful that anyone would replace him and do better or do more. Politics is ugly business. You have to help others with there agendas to get them to help you with yours. Those things take time. You have to build your credit and reputation. McConnell has quietly strengthened the judicial arm of the government with strong conservative judges that will rule for decades. Also, has gotten teo conservative Suprene Court justices passed through. Very important.
MJ wouldn't be able to to get a red light put up, let alone anything else.
