Person for the year (Kentucky): Steve Pence.


Is there any doubt whatsoever who our Person for the 2007 year should be?

Here is a man who withstood all manners of derision, from those who accused him of treasonable conduct, when he refused to compromise his integrity, and support the WRONGS perpetrated by the administration he was a part of, and instead stood up to be counted, giving hope to those of us who REFUSE to believe that politics is all about corrupt practices, and the like.

Anyone who disputes that Steve Pence should be Kentucky's Person for the year, needs to raise our collective eyebrows.

Honorable mentions go to:

Political "Prophetess" Anne Northup (pictured on the right), who foresaw how the election would turn out, and warned Republicans, including predicting EXACTLY how the Democrats will do it -- and some will say -- even producing the t.v. ads that the Democrats used to dismantle Fletcher's campaign.

Governor Steve Beshear (pictured on the left), for not only his win against an incumbent Governor, but for defeating all of his primary opponents, without needing a runoff to do so, to become the Democratic nominee for Governor.

Congratulations to all the winners.

Get a life. From a person who took tax dollars "because he was elected" after going against the Governor, to a person who lost a "safe" local seat with no real ideas to a person who has already broken his campaign promises and uses unrealistic forecasts to say the sky is falling to support a budget that will need gambling and/or new taxes to make the budget balance, you have picked the list of real losers if you forget those who voted for Beshear on the basis of his campaign promises and who will pay with higher taxes to support him for the next four years.

Sorry, you feel that way. These people made the most real news (other than Fletcher), and for the reasons stated deserve the recognition.

So, from your point of view, politicians who make news regardless of the way in which they make news are more important than certain business, university and professional people in the Commonwealth. As I said before, get a life.

No, not really. In case if you could NOT read the opening sentence of my earlier post, which preceded this post, here it is:

A vast majority of what we do on this blog is political -- in the sense that we post and comment on articles concerning politics.

So, if you keep saying "get a life", it may suggest to other readers, that you are the one, who REALLY needs to get a life".

No closing " at sentence end.

Osi, I used to have a lot of respect for you on the statewide level. I retract all that respect because you allied yourself with Greg Stumbo and chose to believe him over a good and honorable man like Ernie Fletcher. You seem to have totally rejected the Republican Party and our conservative principles. Is it bitterness from your '03 loss in the primary, or what?

Your "Conservative principles" seem to amount to nothing but a principle of defending anyone with an "R" beside their name, no matter how WRONG they are.

I do NOT operate like that, so you can keep your respect. I do NOT care for it!
