If you live in Eastern Kentucky, I don't care what party you are listed as belonging to, if you aren't for gun rights and against abortion then you lose any election you run in. That usually is a federal Rep. party platform issue but living in Eastern Ky. if any Democrat wants to be successful he or she had better jump over when it comes to answering questions about those two issues.

Apparently, as long as a candidate says "no abortion" and
"guns, guns, guns," he or she can sell the economic interests
of the common man down the river and still get elected. To me,
here is the sadness in our political process: groups are pitted
against each other and vote around issues that divide, all the
while the fat cats who sit in board rooms and carve up the
globe for maximum riches make decisions that harm the economic
interests of those in the lower middle and bottom, which, of
course, constitutes a lot of eastern kentucky.
