Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Kentucky...

Matt Bevin is a uniquely awful person.  So awful, in fact, that even in deep red Kentucky, voters tossed him out in favor of Andy Beshear, a Democrat and son of a popular former governor.  It was still a very close election.  Bevin has lived up to his awfulness by pardoning a bevy of horrible people, including child rapists. 

Every once in a while, a Democrat says or does something regrettable. Whatever that might be immediately becomes the default position of every Democrat until they specifically disavow it.  For Republicans, that never seems to be true. Matt Bevin basically has a few dozen Willie Horton (without the racism) events running around now. Frankly, Democrats in Kentucky should be trying to link Bevin to Mitch McConnell with every breath. Keeping linking Bevin with Moscow Mitch until next November. 

Knock him off, and the people of Kentucky will have done their greatest service to the Republic since they elected not to secede in 1861.
