Multi- Millionaire Bruce Lunsford

Disguise: Lunsford Campaign Themes Don't Square With Persona from the Paducah Sun

"The true comprehensive plan for energy independence is the one McConnell
champions day after day in the Senate chamber. It includes, like Lunsford's
plan, clean-coal technology, lifting the ban on developing vast shale oil
deposits and alternative/renewable forms of energy. But unlike Lunsford,
McConnell also calls for increasing nuclear power, the cleanest, most economical source of energy.

And he calls for lifting the ban on offshore drilling and
tapping ANWR's vast reserves of recoverable oil
.
Unfortunately, Majority Leader Harry Reid thwarts every serious attempt to decrease American dependence on foreign oil. Increasing domestic supply is anathema to Democrats in Congress, who are under the thumb of the environmental lobby. Multi-millionaire Bruce is disguised as a regular Joe. He's apparently intimidated by Kentucky's two largest newspapers, with their reliably liberal editorial pages, hoping they won't pick on him for being rich as long as he rails against others in his tax bracket. It's an unbecoming role for Lunsford. ...." Disguise Lunsford
