If these idiots in Kentucky don't know Obamacare IS Kynect, then maybe these idiots shouldn't vote, and they should cancel their health coverage. If they don't understand what's at stake, maybe they should just stay home and stroke their guns. Has she even told the people of Kentucky they can thank Obama for their healthcare? I doubt it. If Kentucky can't move into the 21st century, then maybe they should be left behind. Let them keep blowing their dog whistles all day long. If the GOP take over, we can only hope the south secedes from the rest of us.

How do suggest we identify them and restrict their right to vote?

If they don't understand what's at stake, maybe they should just stay home and stroke their guns.

A huge leap to assume that everyone who opposes the President and Obamacare owns and fawns over a gun.

Tammy is a very, very smart woman and capable candidate. If she thinks it'll help she'll tell them - if not, it's her call.
You sound like you live in a very blue state ... She's in Kentucky where things are very different.

If Kentucky can't move into the 21st century, then maybe they should be left behind.

Sorry, but I support the 50 state strategy. We may not when this race this year .... but there will be more races and more years. Consider this foundation building if nothing else.

Let them keep blowing their dog whistles all day long. If the GOP take over, we can only hope the south secedes from the rest of us.

You know that things change over time, if the GOP wins this year -- we'll have more elections in 2 years and then 2 years after that. No one is going to sucede and no state is ever a totally lost cause.

"A huge leap to assume that everyone who opposes the President and Obamacare owns and fawns over a gun"

Didn't she do a commercial with a shot gun? Why did she need to do that. I look at that as a negative, but I don't live in Kentucky. I'm all for the 50 state strategy, but why do these people elect such imbeciles? Then we the people have to put things on hold for assholes like Inhoff and Graham, and McTurtle that put the rest of us in possible danger. Why can't they live by the 50 state strategy? If they can't follow us into the 21st century, why should they get a voice. We're lowering the bar for these people. We put up with them instead of throwing them off the stage.

Mississippi. It didn't end well. You don't get to select your own electorate.

..the latest info that I saw on Obamacare was that 41% approved and 40% disapproved.....so Obamacare is a wash, at this time. And only 29% approve of President Obama.

Mainly thanks to his anti-coal policies. Any wonder why Grimes had to decline answering that question(which was obviously intended as a trap anyway; had someone tried this with McConnell, no doubt they would've been beaten down!)?

"Clean Coal" is good. I think clean coal is a fantasy, and I cringed every time I heard him say it. There is NO such thing as clean coal.
