Paul Holds Edge in Kentucky – politicalwire.com

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll in Kentucky finds Rand Paul (R) with a five point lead over Jack Conway (D), 45% to 40%.

Key finding: “The poll found Kentucky Republicans do not enjoy the big advantage in campaign enthusiasm found in other state and national polls. Republicans lead Democrats only 59 percent to 57 percent in having a high level of interest in the race.”

B Franklin was conservative? I did not know that. That would account for his conservative desire to have one chamber that was elected every year. And Jefferson? Don’t tell his boyfriend (Yes, everything IS about the gay with me. Deal with it). As for Adams… He can go fuck himself. Asshole. The only good thing about him is Laura Linney.

This kind of thing makes me crazy, as obviously these “New Enlightenment” figures were in no way part of the current left-right paradigm of today. Furthermore, the dominant economic system of the time, Mercantilism, is no longer practiced in any way, shape, or form, except as a leftover marketing gimmick for Dewars. When Hamilton (or, for that matter, Adam Smith) discussed opening up markets, it was in the context of Merchantilism. It’s almost apples and oranges. And don’t get me started on their social mores. We might as well be talking about cavemen, frankly.

All of this is obviously beyond the reach of Ms. Angle, to whom I am superior and about whom I never, ever think.

Sharon… your ancestors hoofed out the “conservatives” in post revolutionary US America and their ancestors eventually became my neighbours.

@redmanlaw: Trouble is, about a third of those “Kentucky Democrats” vote exclusively for Republicans for federal office, so the apparent lack of an enthusiasm gap is beside the point.

America needs a war on stupid.

It’ll be turbo-embarrassing when we lose that one.

We’re hopelessly outnumbered.
