The last Kentucky Congressman I can remember who did not live in his district was Carl Christopher Perkins, who lived in Mt. Sterling (the old 6th District) while representing the old 7th District. Of course state law requires only residence in the state, not in the district, but it’s still funny that someone who didn’t live in the district was representing it. Of course the reason that he won was because so many voters thought they were voting for his dead father, Carl D. Perkins. There’s a reason Chris Perkins appeared on the ballot as Carl C. Perkins. It has something to do with those intellectual heavyweights that comprise the Democrat electorate in Eastern Kentucky.

Glad we cleared that up and I give you my appologies. You are right, you and Matt have supported primaries from the start.

Now would you care to clear up wether you support using homophobia and bigotry to spread bigoted lies about candidates? Where do you stand on allowing Jim Pence to use your pulpit to spread such disgusting lies that only reveal his true bigotry and lack of character?

I voted for Beshear but you won’t catch me dead voting for that left wing nut job Heather Ryan.

How funny is it that you guys have been attacking Republicans for not wanting a primary in Louisville’s district yet you yourselfs attacked the idea of a Democratic Primary for the right to lose by 10 to Mitch?

However, I would say it’s refreshing to see someone on here try to look to the record and to positions to attack a candidate and not to just rest on outright lies about their sexuality. See, that is political discourse. The other stuff is just revealing your (not kilowatts, Jim Pence’s) deeply-hidden bigotry and your desire to do anything to win.

Unless you have some explination for why Jim Pence gets to be a homophobic lie-spreader, then you don’t have a horse in this race. Or do you have the power to fire Jim, cause if you do then you’re as bad as him.

To say all Republicans are Bigots is a gross lie too. But what do you care, you support bigoted idiots like Jim Pence! So I guess that makes you either a bigot or a hypocrit because you attack Republicans for doing what you do/support!

And for all the lamenting you guys do about how Republicans but the gay sex admendment on the ballot to bring in votes, you yourself are bigots.

Disgusting.

I hope Matt is still above this stuff… for if he’s not then his credibility has taken a major hit.

After all, look at Larry Craig or Mark Foley.

The Republicans are BIGOTS! Each and every last cotton-pickin’ one of them!

Her’s a quarter, call someone that cares!

And to think that Matt Gunterman (who himself was a victim of such bigoted-propelled LIES of the exact same nature) would allow you to continue posting here is sickening.

Come on Matt… stay true to your beliefs… fire JIM PENCE! Or you’re no better then the backwards bigots you have ALWAYS opposed!

If Whitfield is a rubber stamp for Bush, why did he vote to over ride a veto recently?
