GROUNDHOG DAY COMES TO FRANKFORT,WHERE EVERY DAY SEEMS THE SAME
– Harper to host media discussion Friday aboard campaign bus –LEXINGTON, Ky. – In commemoration of Groundhog Day and what will likely be six more weeks of politics as usual in Frankfort, Republican Billy Harper will host a dialogue with reporters aboard his campaign bus beginning at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 2, in front of the state capitol in Frankfort.
Harper, recognizing that each day at the capitol is starting to seem a little too much like that classic Bill Murray film "Groundhog Day," will discuss his campaign’s online petition to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax as well as his plans to bring proven business leadership to the governor’s office.
“Unlike the private sector where great ideas flourish and bad ideas fail, the politics and policies in Frankfort never seem to change,” Harper said. “We need to repeal the alternative minimum tax and begin talking about additional ways to boost this state’s economy right now, not nine months from now when this election is over.”
All members of the media are invited to attend the Friday dialogue:
WHO: Billy Harper
WHAT: Groundhog Day Dialogue
WHEN: 10:30 a.m., Friday, Feb. 2
WHERE: Harper campaign bus,
Capital Avenue, in front of the state capitol building

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...

Governor Fletcher is merely dishonest. Based on her actions, we know what Anne Northup is.
I applaud Mr. Harper for offering a clean campaign. I am sure that Governor Fletcher accepted that sticker because he's got some ethical problems hanging out to dry on the political clothesline. I am glad he's accepted the challenge.
Anne Northup, however, is known to play a tad negative in her campaign ads. She can do that against Fletcher given his dirty laundry -- it appears to me that she thinks her only real competition is Fletcher so she's reserving that tactic for him. It kind of makes sense to me that she would, frankly. I would caution her about that though if I were her advisor... people are sick and tired of the negative political ads. I know they are proven to "stick" with voters longer but most of us tune them out immediately anymore.
