TRV -

HRV, I was referring to conservatives who literally say that "they're gonna take my guns", not those who have concern over gun control. The ones who believe that someone is literally going to walk in their house and remove their guns. Gun enthusiasts have every right to be concerned over control of weapons however.

And it's difficult to press the thoughts of the framers into any modern day mold. I admire them greatly but both sides can make arguments against the other in regards to who they would rally behind today on key issues.

It's comical to argue about "welfare" voters as uninformed when the majority of them especially in EKY vote red more often than blue. Amazingly ignorant to generalize that blacks, young voters, and single women as your OP are uninformed and less educated than others. Would love to compare many of their educations/voting qualifications (not that there needs to be) to that of white men in EKY that will vote conservative simply by being told "war on coal", without knowing anything else.

As far as any qualifications for your obsession Grimes, I don't have them and don't argue that I do. It's a stretch for her to be Senator and I think many know that. It's a lose lose for this state either way.

You were unaware or, was it unconcerned, that under the dictates of ObamaCare health care workers are to ask questions regarding the presence of firearms in the home? Of those who you envision as saying "thar gonna take muh guns" I would argue the vast majority are gainfully employed. Nothing particularly personal there Onion Head but, if you want to argue that Dems don't pander to the low information crowd you'll come up short with me and Harry Rex. As to so many in Kentucky who vote red, that is an outlier due to the sprawling farm country in which they live and parents who were Republican.

Not many would argue that having one's own state senator as majority leader is a good thing. And not many would argue that McConnell would surely be light years better than Harry Reid's woeful performance.
