It pisses me off to no end that whoever has the most money wins elections. People, that’s not democracy! We all know it too. But where the hell is the outrage?
THIS CREEP NEEDS TO BE KICKED TO THE CURB!
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) — For someone accustomed to being a political aggressor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a bull’s eye on his back at the beginning of what may be his toughest re-election campaign in years.
[...]But McConnell’s Democratic opponent likely will face an uphill climb to compete financially in what is expected to be an expensive race. As of September 30, McConnell had raised more than $9 million and had nearly $7 million on hand for the 2008 campaign.
“Obviously, it will be a difficult race because he is the champion of fundraising,” said Gov.-elect Steve Beshear, a Democrat who won a lopsided victory this month over first-term Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher.
[...]Former U.S. Sen. Wendell Ford, a Democrat, said Beshear’s election makes it a tougher race for McConnell. One thing is for sure, he said: The Democratic nominee can expect McConnell to run a hard-hitting campaign.
“Before you get started, the people will already know who you are, what you are,” Ford said, “because he’s already framed you.”
