For the past couple of years, you hear people around here complain that the country is at war, the housing market is bad, the economy is bad, gas prices are high (they were), food is expensive. And what does KY do for change?

McCain (a Bush clone)
McConnell
Whitfield

You can't get change when you keep voting in the same people. It took other states to vote in change. No room to complain. You had your chance!!!

You did notice that Obama won the election, right? You are the one that will have no room to complain. The house, senate and presidency...all democratically controlled. They have no one to hide behind or to blame now. Enjoy.

Honestly I did not vote (and haven't in over a decade). I got tired of BS after another. Having said that, Kentuckians strike me as kind of dumb. They want change, but only if they get the rewards. I'm not surprised at all at who they voted for.

As usual, the point is not taken. The point is, Kentuckians did not vote for change. Oh, and don't expect Mitch McConnell to do anything for KY anytime soon. Repubs are done for a while.

You are the sorest winner I have even encountered in my life. You just want something to ***** about obviously...what a whiny tail. Mitch McConnell has done many wonderful things for my area of Kentucky BTW.

I guess you aren't going to answer the question. Once more:

Why have KY'ians been complaining about housing, gas, food, the rest of the economy and then go out and vote for the same people? There has to be some sort of rhyme or reason to this.

Even I have to commend everyone that voted, no matter for whom. You don't vote, you lose. I can never understand how people have no desire to vote.

So, how long is it going to take Mr. Wonderful to 'change' all this?

Washington is broken on both sides of the fence, my friend. The only way things are going to improve is if we can control spending, eliminate pork, do away with entitlement programs, & make America a more attractive place to invest in business by reducing corporate taxes as well as personal taxes on citizens. Look at the success that Ireland recently had by. doing just that.

It's going to be very difficult. It's going to take time. It didn't fall apart overnight and it won't be fixed overnight. I will give it 2.5 years before I start getting uneasy about Obama. The problem is that alot of people don't even want to give the man a chance. I voted for Bush twice, so I can be patient.
