FANCY FARM — Democratic Attorney General Jack Conway heaped criticism on his GOP opponent at the 135th annual Fancy Farm picnic Saturday, repeating numerous attacks against Matt Bevin that have sprouted in his two runs for office.

In response, Bevin completely reversed the Fancy Farm norm, eschewed the partisan tenor of Kentucky’s signature political event before leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance and painting in broad strokes in his remarks.

“The one thing that discourages me, however, about this process is that we literally are celebrating the very worst elements of the political process,” Bevin said. “We are celebrating our visions, and we’re doing it in the childish way that frankly does not resolve any of the issues we face.”

Bevin, down 3 points in a head-to-head contest with Conway in the latest Bluegrass Poll, followed a five-minute speech in which Conway blasted Bevin

Any Democrat calling a Republican dishonest is a farce.

Gay marriage.
Christianity.
War on Terror.
Crime.

Anything that gets them support they’ll claim and drop it the moment they can win without it.

Democrats would say they are against child molestation today only to support it tomorrow if the public support rises high enough. A bunch of whores, the lot of then.
