Grimes, McConnell tangle in debate

[kyburbonkid]

3. Great Debate. Old Pumpkin face showed his partisanship over Ky

What a great debate. Alison and Mitch sitting side by side and moderated by one of KET's best. From the answers McConnell gave, you can see he's the quintessential asshole in the mix. He was running against Obama on health care, on the economy (which he blames on Obama), and pretty much everything for the past six years was Obama. So when called on it, like you filibustered minimum wage, filibustered this, that, etc, the old fart looked like a dear in headlights!

He had his come-backs but it was very partisan. Alison on the other hand was well schooled with her talking points. She was focused and articulated her points well. She looked fabulous but held back. She has been having a problem arguing her case for pro-coal and at the same-time recognizing the global climate warming problem. (Indeed, Sept 2014 was the hottest Sept ever recorded for all records since 1880). As a KY citizen, I once saw the importance of Coal mining economically to the area, but global warming is the serious deal. It's the bull in the china shop problem for fossil fuel. A bargain needs to be made to keep the coal in the ground and our workers healthily employed. Unlike Mitch, he won't even touch the issue ("I'm not a scientist" denial-ism) just to please winger base.

Everybody here is tired of the old Mitch pitch. Go Alison!!!
