GOP ticket with tea party support close to forming

"The first Republican gubernatorial ticket for 2011 — and one with the backing of tea party activists — could be announced by the end of this week and perhaps as soon as Tuesday, key conservatives confirmed to cn|2 Politics on Monday night.

Conservative radio show host Leland Conway said he has been put on notice that a slate could be announced on his afternoon radio show on Lexington’s WLAP-630 AM “as early as tomorrow.”

Conway said he wasn’t at liberty to talk about who might be on the ticket. But he eliminated the possibility that he might be a candidate in 2011.

The name of David Adams, the campaign chairman of Republican candidate Rand Paul’s U.S. Senate bid, has popped up in the middle of much speculation about the ticket..."

GOP candidates for congress hope to end earmarks

GOP candidates for congress hope to end earmarks:

"Tired of yelling at their televisions during the news, four men from Central Kentucky each hope to join Congress to block what they see as President Barack Obama's socialist, ruinously expensive agenda.

To get there they must face one another and two much-better-funded rivals in the May 18 Republican primary for the 6th Congressional District. The winner has to oust four-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Ben Chandler, D-Versailles, on Nov. 2.

Adding to the challenge, they're attempting to win with scant campaign funds and without promising to bring projects back from Washington if elected. In fact, they pledge to abolish federal funding for local projects, arguing that the national government already is trillions of dollars in debt.."

GOP Valentine's Day Cards

"Dear Fellow Republican,

This Valentine's Day, show the most important Republicans, Democrats and Independents in your life how much they mean to you by sending them a GOP Valentine's E-Card.

Pass along a special message from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi that they didn't craft this Valentine's card behind closed doors like they did with their government-run health care experiment.

Or let President Obama extend your sincerest wishes to a loved one by claiming he's saved or created millions of Valentine's -- just like his party has claimed that the wasteful, pork-filled stimulus bill has created or saved thousands, 1.5 million or 2 million jobs depending on which Obama Administration official you ask.

Choose from 18 different Valentine's E-Cards that the Republican National Committee has created for this very special day. Share them with all your family and friends, especially those Democrats who need to know how you feel about the wrong direction their party is dragging our country.""

“Over the past few months I have spoken with many Louisville citizens concerned about the direction of our country,” said Larry Hausman. “They are looking for a change.

Gov Beshear leaves Kentuckyians scratching their heads...

"Once again, Steve Beshear has left Kentuckians scratching their heads and wondering “what was our Governor thinking?” In case you missed it, the Associated Press is reporting that Gov. Beshear has restricted when the flag can be lowered for fallen service members. Now, the flag will only be lowered for service members “born” in Kentucky – excluding the thousands of military personnel who currently call our state home (AP, 7/24/08).

In the article, Sen. Elizabeth Tori (R-Radcliff), whose district covers Fort Knox, was right on with her statement that “any soldier stationed in Kentucky should be honored by the state if they're killed in action” and that “the governor, as well as everyone in our nation, owes them a debt.” State Rep. Tim Moore (R-Elizabethtown), who served in Afghanistan, was also appalled – calling the Governor’s decision “disgraceful.” Moore noted in the AP article that Beshear is ignoring the fact that “residents around Fort Knox consider soldiers part of their community” (AP, 7/24/08). ........." from Kentucky GOP
