Harry Reid Said Coal Makes us Sick?

"In a Fox Business interview, Senator Reid claimed “coal makes us sick.” Coal is Kentucky’s most abundant resource and a piece of the puzzle to solving our nation’s energy crisis. I would invite you to sign Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s energy petition and help him send a message to his colleague Harry Reid that we support coal-to-liquid technologies and common sense solutions to lowering gas prices.

He attacks oil companies and Wall Street for driving up the price of gas, yet has invested millions in oil and gas companies and speculation. ...." from TeamMitch Blog

McCain in Louisville KY fundraiser

"Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, used a $2 million fundraiser in Louisville yesterday to criticize his Democratic opponent, saying that Sen. Barack Obama's "words may not be trusted."
More than 650 people paid between $1,000 and $12,300 to attend the event at the Kentucky International Convention Center, one of the most lucrative political fundraisers in Kentucky's history.
McCain said that Obama had not agreed to participate in a series of town-hall meetings that McCain has proposed, and has only recently said he would travel to Iraq. McCain also panned Obama's plan to withdraw troops from Iraq.
But he saved his harshest criticism for Obama's initial promise to limit his fundraising and take public financing for his campaign, and then last week announcing that he would opt out of the public financing system......" McCain raises $2million in Louisville, KY

Sen McConnell $100,000 cars not a solution

"Senator Mitch McConnell believes that along with conservation and the development of new technologies, part of any serious long-term solution to our energy crisis must include increased domestic energy exploration and production. The way to lower energy prices is to increase our supply of energy. By opening areas to exploration and production that are currently off-limits including wilderness and off-shore areas, we can create American jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil...."
