Jack Conway Reveals Support For "Job Killer"

You mean he finally made an appearance and I missed it?! ;-) If you're like me and missed the momentous event, click the audio link at the end of this post from The Coalition to Protect Kentucky Jobs.

Color me unsurprised by Conway's support for this. Really. How could he NOT support that job-killer -- he'd have an empty campaign war chest if he didn't.

 

Jack Conway Reveals Support For "Job  Killer"

Conway "On Record" In Support Of Employee 'Forced' Choice Act

 

Louisville, KY (July 28, 2010) – Candidate for U.S. Senate Jack Conway revealed in a radio interview this morning that he supports the Employee 'Forced' Choice Act (EFCA), supports removing the secret ballot from union-organizing elections and wants to make it "as easy as possible" for Kentucky's small businesses to be forcibly unionized by means of EFCA.  He reiterated his support for the legislation even as the interviewer pointed out that the legislation was a "job killer."

 

During the live interview on The Mandy Connell Show on WHAS-AM radio this morning, Conway said that he wants to make it "as easy as we can" for Big Labor bosses to force unionization on Kentucky workers and small businesses.  Conway admitted that Kentucky has lost "100,000 manufacturing jobs in this state in the last decade," but continued to say he supports a law that both economists and job creators have told us would cost Kentucky even more jobs.

 

"Jack Conway is now clearly and unambiguously 'on record' supporting legislation he understands will destroy jobs in Kentucky, even while tens of thousands of those he aspires to represent in Congress can't find work," said Scott Jennings, state director of the Coalition to Protect Kentucky Jobs (CPKJ).  "For the last two months, we have repeatedly asked Mr. Conway to clarify his position on this issue, to reconsider his stance and to side with Kentucky workers and small businesses.  Regrettably, instead, Conway has chosen to stand with the Big Labor bosses in support of a 'job killer.'"

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

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...
