Kentucky Tea Party triumph

He said they were going to crush candidates challenging incumbents such as himself. The quote “we’re going to crush the tea party” was never uttered. It is complete fiction - and those interested in factual discussion will stop repeating it.

I think this is very ironic, considering the writer of the piece (Frank Friday) is a Louisville lawyer who loves the establishment. I can remember him personally helping to lie and cheat to keep liberty-minded Republicans out of the convention process in 2012.

Who knows...maybe with liberty-minded Republicans winning big in Kentucky primaries like Thomas Massie and Phil Moffett, perhaps the writer has seen the light.

How is the state senate and state house make up? Is the D the majority party?

For FReepers who aren’t citizens of Kentucky, could you tell us about Thomas Massie and Phil Moffett. Thank you..

Kentucky State Senate: currently 27 R's 11 D's
Turned Republican around 2000-2001 and keeps increasing GOP numbers every election.

Kentucky State House: currently 54 D's 46 R's
Has been Democrat-run since the Civil War, but this is the closest the Republicans have ever been.

Thomas Massie is a U.S. congressman, engineer and former county judge executive. He is an anti-establishment Republican who won big in a primary with several GOP candidates and big in November to win election to Congress from Northern Kentucky in 2012. He is rated as the most Constitutional member of the U.S. House, according to the New American Freedom Index.

Phil Moffett is a liberty-oriented businessman who ran for governor in the 2011 GOP primary, but came up a bit short. He was elected to the state house in 2014 after easily defeating the former Louisville Republican Party chairwoman in the primary and his general election opponent.
