Rand Paul easily beats either Mongiardo or Conway in the latest Rasmussen poll.  Grayson also beats the Democrat candidates but by slightly lower margins.  All good news for Kentucky Republicans.

Unemployment benefits will expire today because the Democrats failed to pass an extension.  In addition to unemployment benefits, the legislation would have held off the planned 21% Medicare pay cut to physicians.  The battle arose because the Democrats wanted to put the $10 billion dollar price tag on the federal charge card like they always do despite the fact that they could have used already appropriated stimulus funds or even returned TARP funds.  Senator Jim Bunning objected to the Democrat scheme and showed what real courage is in Congress.  The Democrats could have easily passed the bill with Senator Bunning’s vote if they had just agreed to pay for it rather than again borrow the money.  At any rate the bill only extends the benefits for 30 days like everything Congress does, it just keeps putting off the hard decisions.

The Republican primary for the U.S. Senate has turned into an argument over who is more pro-life.  Abortion is always an important issue in Republican primaries so when you have three staunch pro-life candidates, each are trying to distinguish themselves by proving their pro-life bona fides.  It has now gotten so foolish that Trey Grayson and Bill Johnson are ganging up on Rand Paul because he has said he would accept abortion law being decided on a state level if protections could not be secured at the national level.  For those who were still in diapers in 1973, that was the law of the land before Roe v. Wade.  Each state decided abortion laws and it was illegal or at least restricted in all states.  Obviously, a much better situation than we have presently.  If the Supreme Court struck down Roe, abortion laws would again  be decided at the state level.

The NAACP honors Van Jones with an image award and called the self described communist an American Treasure.  Van Jones noted for his belief that George Bush was involved in the 9/11 attacks on NYC in addition to his Marxist Leninist philosophies, calls Republicans “assholes”.  He had a short career as President Obama’s Green Czar before his background was made public and Obama accepted his resignation.  The NAACP recognition of Van Jones further demonstrates that groups growing extreme left leaning views and communist sympathies.

Senator John McCain is strongly attacking his fellow Republican challenger J.D. Hayworth in Arizona with ferocity we wish we had seen when he ran against Barack Obama.  It is not unlike the false accusations we are seeing locally by Secretary of State Grayson against his Republican opponent Rand Paul.  If these progressive Republicans would only behave this way against the Democrats who are dismantling our Constitution, they wouldn’t have challengers.  But then they wouldn’t be progressives, would they? This political infighting may sabotage a Republican victory in November.

Senator Bayh from our neighbor state to the north has announced that he will not run for reelection to a third term in the Senate.  Senator Bayh, a Democrat from a usually Republican leaning state, criticized the Democrat controlled congress for being unable to accomplish anything because of extreme partisanship.

Yesterday Senator McConnell responded to an Editorial in the Courier Journal. Read more

Audacity - brazenness, disrespect, gall, impertinence, insolence, nerve, presumptuousness, rudeness.  Audacity is certainly an apt description of the Obama administration.  The latest audacious behavior of this team is Vice President Biden taking credit for success in Iraq! Read more
