But funny. I don't like to wish ill on anyone, but if this is what it takes to get him out....

I just can't understand Kentuckys fascination with this man. I mean, WV had our own fossil in Robert C Byrd, so I kind of get it. But RBC never did the damage that MC did. Obstruction was his game and he ~~was~~ is good at it.

Lexington and Louisville hates him. It's just everywhere outside of those two blue dots LOVES him. The racism is good for them, the hating on poors is good with them, the homophobia is great, etc etc etc. Here in Lex we've been campaigning Ditch Mitch for YEARS (maybe a decade now lol) but the rest of the state keeps electing him every time.

I just wish that fucking horrible human being would just die already. The earth would be a lot better off.

I would have though most of the state was also poor as dirt. It's just age old tactic of keeping the poor blaming each other, so they never think to look up and see the source of the problem.

Lexington & Louisville are the only two cities in the state of any size (and small ones at that), and both are thriving wonderful small southern towns with lots to do, arts, culture, absolutely gorgeous land, hiking trails, etc etc etc... Both have a LOT of money in the cities too. Lexington also has a booming gay scene and has had for decades. We elected an openly gay mayor a LONG time ago, which for the south is a pretty big thing.
