Rocky Adkins
#1
The Lexington Herald wrote yesterday that there was speculation that Rocky Adkins was going to run for the U.S. Senate in 2022 against Rand Paul.

Last November I heard so many people say, "I can't stand Mitch McConnell and if it was anybody other than Amy McGrath I would vote against Mitch". Rand is probably not as despised as Mitch McConnell but Rocky is definitely a better candidate than Amy. I can't image that people would express that same sentiment. "I can't stand Rand Paul and if it was anybody other than Rocky Adkins I would against Mitch." Kentucky is probably too red to vote for any Democrat at the Federal level but I honestly think it would be a 7-10 point race rather than a 20 point win that Mitch had in the fall.

I know we have members from all over the political spectrum so I thought this would be an interesting hypothetical. Who would you vote for Rocky vs. Rand?

No way no how any Dem beats Rand Paul in 2022. KY is a very red state and with this current Dem sh!t show in Washington, Republicans and Independents will come out in droves in 2022. I expect Republicans to retake the House and Senate. Rand Paul will win and win big.

Doubtful. Rand beat Conway by 12 and Jim Gray by 15.  Rocky would cut that in half.

Rand Paul will be in the Senate for as long as he wants the job. And carry at least 115 out of 120 counties every time he runs.

That's a shame we have a senator like Rand Paul with around 3 million people we end up with someone like him 
Got to be somebody better than this guy. Maybe we could get his neighbor to run ?

Back to the topic there’s an extremely low chance Rocky could win but I do think he could keep it closer than pretty much any other Democrat in KY.

Rocky would have two things going for him. 1) it’s not a presidential election year so Trump is not on the ballot. As seen 2018 a lot of people only come out to vote when Trump is leading the ticket. 2) he is a conservative Democrat from EKY. I think he could win some older cross over votes in traditional Democratic Counties like Floyd, Pike, Elliot, Knott, etc. It’s not like Rand is beloved in EKY.

Rocky is in no way conservative, although the city newspapers will try to trick the public into believing he is. He will side with Biden, Pelosi and Schumer on every single vote which makes him a far-left radical Democrat and he would be a disaster for any red state.

Rand Paul is a embarrassment to KY Vote Rocky

I have mixed feelings about Rand Paul.  Sometimes he is an embarrassment, but other times he is logical and makes perfectly good sense.  Maybe he is bi-polar. Confused

Anyone want to take a crack at anything Rand did that was an embarrassment? Pretty safe bet it's fake news.

You may be right that he isn’t conservative but my guess is that George Washington or Ronald Reagan could run for office today and if they had a D behind their name you wouldn’t vote for them regardless of their policies. 

You actually kind of made my point for me. It doesn’t really matter what the policies a person advocates for because if they are a Democrat you will label them as a far left, socialist no matter what. It also apparently does not matter that Rocky is EKY through and through.

Your guess would be 100% completely off base. It actually is entirely about policies. The Ds always vote together and they have been hijacked by the far left. So I know the policies they will vote for and I am against those policies. I would 1000x more want a conservative from another part of the state than a liberal from just down the road.

Bill Straub sums up RHP pretty well. (Read article below).  Weird man, that Paul, dishonest man , shouldn't be in DC  ... wouldn't  trust him near my eyes.  I like McConnell better, if that tells you anything.  I'd definitely vote Rocky but as Jet pointed out it won't make any difference. Rand's not terribly popular  in the state but he's got the "R"
in front of his name. He could rape and pillage a village of orphans and a majority of Kentuckians would re-elect him.

I'll give credit where it is due, OSH can find the most partisan liberal hack out there on any given subject. Rand dismantles this idiot hit piece.


https://www.nkytribune.com/2020/12/rand-...and-masks/












Sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin when someone throws a ton of crap against a wall to see what sticks, as was the case in a recent NKY Tribune column by Bill Straub. I’ll give it a shot though, because your readers deserve some modicum of truth and fairness, as well as words from my own mouth rather than those distorted and misunderstood by the ill-informed.
The screed began by attacking me for my support for President Trump, and for continuing to believe that he is entitled to recounts, legal challenges and fair play in our electoral system. In case it wasn’t noticed by the liberal media, it isn’t just me who supports him. It’s the state I represent, and by a large margin. I don’t think it’s spilling a lot of bourbon in Kentucky that I continue that support, even though it might upset some liberal editorial writers.
I do not know all the answers and never claimed to. I raised some and more importantly I backed the president’s right to raise them and have them adjudicated in a court of law. I’m glad a bunch of people who couldn’t pass high school statistics don’t see some anomalies in the vote counts. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, and this kind of thing should always be checked into carefully, which is all we and many Kentuckians are asking.

The system that was set up this year in many states, with greater mail voting, is inherently a problem. It is more difficult to ascertain the validity of the ballot than it is with in person voting. That’s why we’ve traditionally limited the practice to those who had no choice.
The data dumps that I and others have referred to are anomalous because they show large winning percentages in excess of 90 percent for one candidate, and they contrast with every other dump in the spread between the candidates.
For the first time in history, we had tens of millions of mail-in votes. Is it too much to ask that they be validated in ways that satisfy the questions that our side has? I think not.
Our elections should be free and fair. We should likely revert to our traditional methods of voting in the future to avoid such questions, but for now, we deserve full and complete answers.
On the subject of COVID, lockdowns, masks and our schools, I will apologize to no one for my advocacy on behalf of the people of Kentucky – workers, business owners, schoolchildren, parents and everyone.
In fact, on the subject of schools, the one who should get an apology is me, from Dr. Fauci and every member of the liberal media who attacked me from May through now for saying schools should be open.
“Follow the science” was a mantra used by many this spring and summer to justify things that science did not, in fact, justify. The most prominent of these is closing schools. We had a multitude of evidence from last year that schoolchildren were not especially affected by COVID, that they weren’t good spreaders, and that the disease was less deadly to them than the yearly seasonal flu. Every country where this was studied agreed. The American Academy of Pediatricians agreed. The CDC now agrees.
I was the one who publicly stood up for parents and kids in the spring and summer, when others would not and I’ll continue to do that.
On the subject of lockdowns, the evidence doesn’t show much difference in states or countries that had them vs. the ones who didn’t. This virus is unfortunately going to naturally progress while we continue to work for a vaccine, and by being as safe was we can while keeping our economy open.
Lastly on the subject of masks — the author clearly cannot read and intentionally made my argument that cloth masks don’t really help much into an argument against all mask wearing. That’s not true. Here is my actual position.
As the only one in this argument who is a surgeon and wore masks daily for a living, of course I believe those masks work. Hospital/Surgical/N95 masks can both stop the spread of most diseases and marginally help the wearer as well.
But cloth masks, especially with the way I see most people wearing them, are largely for show or of minimal benefit. And the fact is, government mandates for mask wearing won’t work and are not within the power of government to enforce. If you want to wear one — great. If you are symptomatic, you should try to stay home. If you’re high risk, protect yourselves in any way you can, hopefully soon with a vaccine.
But this anti-science, economy destroying, child-harming nonsense from the petty tyrants and their media sycophants needs to stop, and I’ll keep sounding the alarm against them and fighting for a strong, healthy and free Kentucky.

I can't imagine that Rocky Adkins  or Booker would be as weird as Dr. Paul. What an oddball!  I remember watching this on CSPAN early in Trump's administration and thinking how weird this weakling was acting.   I know exactly what it was all about .  The rumors have to be true....  Trump had been insulting Randsy on Twitter prior to this and the good doctor was scared to death Trump was going to unload all of his secrets in front of those in the room and those across the nation.  It's bad when two of my five least favorite senators are the two that represent the state I'm from . Just embarrassing!!!  What's in the hell is wrong with Kentucky?

it wouldn’t matter what we post because you support it and him. For your pleasure he grilled Dr. Fauci twice.  What the hell did that accomplish?  Why did he try to torch a Dr. trying to give medical advice?  The politicians enacted the measures.  Rand Paul, an eye doctor, told an epidemiologist where he was wrong.

Rand Paul Boucher was embarrassing both of those days.  

Considering how insignificant he has been I have a hard time remembering the other moronic things he says.

More excuses for again coming up with nothing. And Fauci LOL? He has been wrong a million times. I'm glad Texas and Florida stopped listening to him long ago. They are fully open with very low Covid cases. But you being a gov't sheep can't even take a poop without Fauci's permission. Anyone else? Please, you can't do worse than these guys.
