How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

everybody, if you’re busy with the holidays, please file this article away to read later. it is poignant and a very sad commentary on the state of america.

short version: some dentist in kentucky — remember we have lt. col. mike horne running against mitch mcconnell — has an 18 wheel truck he converted into a dental lab and he goes around the hollers of the hills of the bluegrass state providing dentistry.

1 in 10 kentuckians under 65 has no teeth. worst in the nation. next door west virginia is worst in the nation for over 65 years old and teeth. this is just staggering!

downblog i mentioned joe bageant’s “deer hunting w jesus” book. he is talking about sh*t like this; it is one of the 2 or 3 most important books out there.

simply unf*ckingbelievable. and mitt romney doesn’t think there are 2 americas. jesus wept.

In Kentucky’s Teeth, Toll of Poverty and Neglect

also, on sun. or mon. i posted a nytimes profile of john edwards and mitt romney. 2 attitudes towards wealth. excellent. sums up the prevailing attitudes. america helped me, i should pay something back; public policy reflects this. versus. i got mine. screw you. we don’t need no stinking policy.

1. i find it odd why the big name ky. dems would pass on going against mitch. if he is as vulnerable as i think, i would think they’d be salivating to take him on. and yeah, schumer. guess we’ll find out on 29 jan. filing day.

any polls out there about a head to head with horne and mcconnell? and mitch vs. ky. dem bigcheeses?

2. pls. see my post below about a front page story in the nytimes re dental care in ky. simply staggering. and if you’re plugged in to campaign get it to them pls. intention: give it max visability in the cmpgn. and bludgeon the snot out of mitch.

Thank you for the update Marty.

Prchr Lady – I don’t have an answer to your question. Ray McGovern posted some stuff on Rep. Conyers a while back here that didn’t show the congressman in a particularly good light.

Democracy for America’s Kentucky Organization Endorses Andrew Horne For U.S.
Senate

pleasr help Andrew with a donation.

For all those interested, more news is coming out this weekend about endorsements, so keep an eye out.

The filing deadline to run against Mitch is January 29. That’s when we’ll know for sure who Andrew Horne has to beat in the May 20 Democratic primary.

So far, no one has actually filed, although Michael Cassaro, a Louisville pain doctor, and David L. Williams, a perpetual candidate and fake Democrat, have announced their intention to do so.

Cassaro is a political novice and under extreme pressure to drop out. Williams is an uncontrollable nutcase with a criminal record – BUT the same name as the state senate president, republican David Williams. That name recognition got the first Williams the Democratic nomination for Ag Commissioner this year over a superbly qualified candidate who would have beaten the repug incumbent. Williams lost, in part because the state party refused to acknowledge his existence.

Williams is definitely Horne’s biggest primary obstacle. The challenge will be to raise Horne’s name recognition higher than Williams’.

The big-name dems have all declined to run, although there are persistents rumors that Chuck Schumer at the DSCC is desperately trying to recruit someone.

I can’t tell you how excited progressive dems in Kentucky are about Horne, which is reflected exactly in the terror Schumer and other Bush-dog dems have about him. With Horne, we get somebody who can not only beat Mitch, but who will be a truly Democratic voice in the Senate, independent of the war-mongering, corporation-obeying, Smirky-worshipping DINOs there now.
