Bowling Green, Kentucky
Right here in red state Kentucky folks were standing in the cold rain waiting to get in the Bowling Green airport to hear and see former President Bill Clinton stump for US senatorial candidate Bruce Lunsford and Kentucky’s 2nd district congressional candidate David Boswell .
I feel Kentuckians are ready for change and I base this feeling on what I’m seeing and I’m seeing it all over Kentucky. Hell Western Kentucky is one of the most conservative places on earth , a Mitch McConnell strong hold and folks there Thursday October 23, 2008 were chanting "Ditch Mitch " at the Kentucky Dam Village Convention Center McConnell/Lunsford debate site. This sort of thing would not have occurred a year ago. I’m tellin’ ya Mitch is in real trouble.
Videos of the event are below. I also managed to get a few photos. Click here to view photos.

Kentucky Dam Village Convention Center:
As we all know this is the last debate Senator Mitch McConnell agreed to have. After this debate there will be no more because Mitch McConnell has turned down all of the others , including the KET offer that would have been televised for the whole state to see. Once again Senator Mitch McConnell picked a time and venue that made it difficult for his constituents to see him in action. This was an early morning debate and live streamed via the web. Surely Mitch understands that most folks are working this time of day and wouldn’t be able to see him tell us how good things are and surely he knows that it takes high speed internet service to watch live streaming video, but I guess Mitch felt this was the patriotic thing to do.
Plenty of folks were outside the convention center to greet Mitch (snark), but they never got a glimpse of Mitch. Some say he slipped in the back door and others say he waited in a local gasoline station until the protestors left before he went into the Convention Center. Hell who knows, but I do know this Bruce Lunsford walked in the front door of the Convention Center like a man on a mission. Bruce didn’t dodge anyone.
It was a real sight to behold. Right there in Western Kentucky Mitch McConnell’s stronghold and folks were chanting Ditch Mitch and 24 years is enough. I suggest to you these folks are the real patriots and I’ll bet the ones there that served in the military would be more than happy to show you their military honorable discharge papers. How about that Mitch? When will you show us yours?

Yesterday after hearing about the stunt Ed. Whitfield pulled (read the back story here ) I decided to go to Lexington and ask KET if I could videotape the Heather Ryan and the no show Ed. Whitfield debate. I arrived at the Lexington KET facility early but the very nice lady at the desk was busy receiving complaints from Heather Ryan supporters. When the nice lady behind the desk caught up with her calls I asked her if I could video tape the so called debate and she directed me to a very nice young man by the name of Todd. Todd told me I couldn’t video tape the debate but I could shoot some ‘b’ roll before the debate. This was very disappointing news because I was looking forward to shooting video of the debate and uploading it to youtube good audio and all, if you know what I mean. Well there I was Lexington about 90 miles from home frustrated and pissed all at the same time when I received a call telling me that Heather Ryan was going to hold a press conference at 6:30pm right there at KET. So I got my video equipment ready, Heather shows up, but no press just me a lowly blogger with a video camcorder. I video taped the press conference( the video is below and the audio ain’t bad for a dumb ass hillbilly). Right after the press conference, with no press, Heather Ryan started getting prepared for the debate and I was allowed into the debate area to shoot some ‘b’ roll but was ushered out just before the debate started to a conference like room with a big overhead projector and I watched the so called debate there. After the so called debate I started receiving calls that the audio of the so called debate had dropped off just before the so called debate started. I believed the callers but the audio at KET was perfect. I know because I had just watched the debate there. Two callers from Kentucky’s 1st District told me the audio dropped off exactly when the so called debate started. Now this was really getting hard to believe but my wife recorded the so called debate and I knew I would be able to check it out when I got home. When I got home I played the tape and sure enough the audio seemed to drop off exactly when the so called debate started. Still I found that hard to believe so I captured the video to my editing system and looked at it very close and was amazed. Sure enough the audio dropped of exactly when the so called debate started. It was then that I knew I would have to prove this beyond doubt and I believe I have. I put together a short video of footage of just before the debate and just after the debate started and did not enhance the sound and then screen captured the audio levels of the short video. The photo of the audio levels is below and the video is just below that. Proof positive. Do I believe this was an accident? Hell no I don’t!
Last night Bruce Lunsford unveiled his "Women’s bill Of Rights" in Lexington Kentucky. With the race getting tighter than anyone imagined (3 points ) Bruce Lunsford is tightening the noose on Senator Mitch McConnell by appealing to women voters here in Kentucky. I’ve had the opportunity to shoot video of many politicians , but last night I shot video of a man speaking from his heart about all the right things and that man was Bruce Lunsford!
Maybe I’m naive, but I really believe this man’s heart, Bruce Lunsford, is in the right place and I’m damned sure he, Bruce Lunsford, will represent my children and grandchildren better than Senator Mitch McConnell.
The video below is nearly 10 minutes long and that’s about 7 minutes longer than I like, but I cut all of it out that I could and believe me that was tough because there were so many good speakers at the event and Bruce’s speech was so good that I had to leave at least 30 minutes of very good video on the cutting room floor.
So where do we go from here? Well, as I have said in a previous post, we have a chance to make history here in Kentucky so let’s get the job done.

Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008 I did my best to get video of Senator Mitch McConnell , in Erlanger, Ky. and Lexington, Ky. but once again he dodged my camcorder, but he couldn’t dodge me in Walton, Ky.
I am amazed that a United States Senator would go to such lengths to dodge being video taped. He, Senator Mitch McConnell, will use two vehicles, gas guzzling SUV’s, to dodge being videotaped. Using one of them as a decoy and then keeping them running while he’s at an event so he can be comfortable when he gets back in his gas guzzling SUV.
This behavior is very odd and I am suggesting that Senator Mitch McConnell get an appointment with Dr. Phil to find out why he has this fear of my camcorder.
Hell Mitch, if you’re scared shitless of my camcorder, how are you going to deal with terrorist?

Pastor Ed Kalnins, would you consider asking Jesus to put those videos back up on your site ?

"People from around the world will be coming to the state of Alaska to get something from God". "There’s some states that God considered as refuge states". I’ve heard prophesied over the years, one is Wisconsin and the other one is um there’s one other one in the lower 48 and the other one that was prophesied years ago and has been echoed along the way is Alaska where God gonna uh basically reserve them for for a place of refuge because uh the earth is groaning for the return of God".
Give me a break!!!! I’m not packing my bags.
