Has Anybody, Except Chuck Shumer, Seen Bruce Lunsford Kentucky’s Candidate For US Senator.

I’ve traveled all over Kentucky, on my own dime, doing my best to shoot video of all the Democratic candidates so folks here in Kentucky can view the candidates on Youtube and get a feel for who best represents them. All of the candidates have been very cooperative and respectful of what I am trying to do. They seem to understand the importance of attending events and trust me to shoot video of them so folks here in Kentucky can make up their own minds.
Further more I have, on my own dime, videotaped numerous protest against Senator Mitch McConnell and these protest and the videos of these protest have made Senator Mitch McConnell vulnerable.
The problem is this, Bruce Lunsford has been absent from the events I’m speaking of and the only video information the voters receive from Bruce Lunsford are his commercials, commercials that he can buy with his unlimited personal fortune.
Here in Kentucky we already have a Senator, Mitch McConnell, that refuses to appear before regular folks and it’s beginning to look like Bruce Lunsford is of the same mold.
There’s a reason why Senator Mitch McConnell doesn’t speak to groups of folks he has no control over here in Kentucky, he knows he will get booed out of the place and he’s scared shitless that I will put that on Youtube for the world to see.
I suggest that Bruce Lunsford has the same fear and I challenge him to stand up like a man and start attending events like all the other Democratic candidates do.
Chuck Shumer might think this is OK for Kentucky, but this Hillbilly is here to tell you that shit won’t flush!!
So I put together the video below, so there would be no doubt as to how I feel about what appears to be a chicken shit Democratic candidate for the US Senate!!!!!

Bruce must be taking pointer from Mitch!!
if Mitch was a fly on the wall, I wonder what out house he was from.
I mentioned on another comment, I haven’t seen Bruce while I’ve been on the campaign trail. I’d be interested to know if any of the other U.S. Senate, Kentucky candidats have seen Bruce Lunsford on the campaign trail. Where’s Bruce?
Nice video, but wasn’t “Bruce Lunsford felt it was more important to be with his Arab friends” a little much?
I realize we’re in Kentucky and racism goes a long way, but that just didn’t seem like a very Democratic thing to say.
If it would have been “with his black/Jewish/Mexican friends” it would have been more noticable, I guess.
There are a number of KY bloggers who fell in line to support this turncoat DINO Lunsford, after Horne endorsed him. They lined up like a pack of hounds following a bitch dog in heat. They act as if winning at any cost is some worthwhile prize. Honor, honesty, and ethics be damned, we sniff a possible win in the air.
These same people were ready to lynch Steve Beshear, Chuck Schumer, and the whole damned Democratic establishment a few weeks ago, for forcing Lunsford on us. Now after a few awful commercials, a mediocre campaign, and never showing up for political events, some of those newly won supporters are having buyers remorse.
Consensus is that Lunsford can’t win against McConnell, all he’s good for is forcing him to spend money in Kentucky, and keep it away from some other republican Mitch may want to help. Well Mitch is back on the tee-vee, spending lot’s of cash.
Consensus has it that Mitch will go back to Washington as leader of even less of a minority (probably 5 less republicans in the senate). Mitch, Craig, Vitter, Ted Stevens, and a few other old crooks & perverts with offices down by the men‘s room. Very fitting!
Note to Tyler who wants to be oh so politically correct:
It is not the fact that their skin color is different, or their religion is not ours in KY, it is the simple fact that Bruce Lunsford is out hobnobbing with rich middle easterners who DO NOT VOTE IN KENTUCKY!!!!!
He should have been home talking to us poor BITTER SMALL TOWN rednecks who are tired of being ignored, or deceived, by both damn parties. (Barack Obama got that part right)
On the national level we have a 15 state strategy!. The rest of are just what? So much horse shit? Hilleary says we don’t matter when she loses southern states!! Fuck her and her buddy Schumer!
On the state level only a few big counties are worthy! Jefferson and Fayette are the only freaking democrats in whole goddamn state?? Outside the “Golden Triangle” it is safe to ignore us?? Too fucking dumb to be worth a visit??
Son, this pissed off old democrat is fucking tired of that elitist crap!
CW, what was he hobnobbing with the middle easterners about? Was he just doing it to be a bad guy or was it about horse racing with other peeps from Kentucky?
This “controversy” is so two weeks ago.
I was at the event here in Madisonville and did not go home disappointed that Bruce Lunsford had not come to town and rather Greg Fischer or anyone else did. Lunsford did more of a service supporting the horse racing industry (lots of money here in Kentucky) than he could have by talking to what was left over from the bathroom break crowd at the Ruby Laffoon dinner.
Lunsford will be the nominee. He’s not my first choice, either.
What’s going to happen to DitchMitchKY after he wins the primary in May? If we hate Lunsford (justifiably so, even) and hate McConnell…how do we ditch Mitch, again? Will the blog serve to ditch Mitch by somehow getting Republicans to stay home?
How can you say that Bruce doesn’t show up to political events? He was present and spoke at the last Louisville’s Metro Democratic Club gathering and had the crowd cheering. Check out the campaign blog for even more examples. He may have had a rough start at the very beginning because he still had to manage his businesses, but he’s been reaching a lot more voters lately.
I wonder if Bruce Lunsford will feel that the expansion of the economies of Communist China and India will be more important than the expansion of the United States economy since he takes orders from Mitch McConnell? Can Bruce Lunsford be trusted to take care of the interests of the people of Kentucky and the United States first and foremost?
Greg Fischer did not show up at Metro Dems and no one here bitched. And CW, Fischer is only running his ads in Louisville not the rest of the state so how about your man of the people now!
it was run out of Paducah ky tonight
MAX, ’cause you read a rumor on a blog saying Fischer was up only in the ‘ville that the rumor is true? LOL.
That blog is so-pro Lunsford it’s laughable. When Lunsford was “scalping” tickets according to Ky Politic’s blog, all I heard from PageOne was the sound of crickets (and I think that attack was BS anyway as was PageOne’s foaming at the mouth post on the Fischer raffle).
And by the way, here in Paducah the Fischer ad is up on TeeVee.
Just a brief comment here: as an ex exmployee of Bruce Lunsford I unfortunately cannot bring myself to vote for his lying ass. I realize that puts me in an awkward position here but I’m not going to get excited about Bruce’s candidacy when he’s barely a shade better than McConnell as far as a person, and only because he has a (D) after his name. In November I will be putting a lot of marks next to (D)’s but I’m going to leave the McConnell vs. Lunsford slots blank. There is just no way in hell.
can we keep track of where Lunsford has given speeches and the ones he’s missed!!!!!!!!!
what the rest of his upcoming events ??
