Thoughts After The Fact

The GOP took a drubbing on November 8, 2011. Two exceptions were the very credible showing of KC Crosbie and the victory of James Comer.

I don't like beatings although a Republican in Kentucky gets them regularly. However, that should never happen. Kentuckians support our party's ideas. Kentuckians want jobs. Kentuckians want good transportation and good schools. Kentuckians want consistency. Kentuckians want leadership.

Most of the time we get politics and not much else.

At a time when Courage is needed, politicians fall back on the same tired old practices that have put us in a bad spot. Our economy is in the tank, and our folks agree by a huge majority that the country is on the wrong track.

We had a very real chance to send a message to Barack Obama that he is going to be a one-term Occupant of the White House. We didn't deliver.

Congratulations to James Comer. He is my friend, and he will do a good job as Commissioner. I wish we had sent him some help.

Next time...
