Governor Steve Beshear says Kentucky risks running off the “progressive path” it’s on if voters give the GOP a majority of state House seats. Beshear made the comments in Barren County Thursday.
Democrats currently hold a 54-to-46 advantage in the chamber, but Republicans have made a major push to win control of the House for the first time in more than 90 years. To help Democratic incumbents, Beshear has been on the road this week, announcing funding for infrastructure projects in districts where these members are facing competitive challenges by Republican candidates.
Beshear said if the GOP does gain control of the House—the party already controls the state Senate—he’s worried about how it would affect recent gains Kentucky has made in education and health care.
“If people will just look at Mississippi, Alabama, and a lot of these southern states where they’re dominated by far-right wing conservative Republican parties both in the House, Senate, and the governorship—all of those states are in a race to get back to the 19th century,” Beshear said.

What’s wrong with the 19th century. Back then, they didn’t have Gay marriage...or AIDS.
Yes - he’s been on a little “pass around money” tour of the state the last couple of weeks.
I’d settle for 1960.
Anybody else get tired of the hyperbole of these liberals??
sheesh, you would swear that the world as we know it will cease to exist, if Republicans gain in the Senate or Congress or state legislatures. End of the World if you don’t vote Democrat. Sheesh, what horse blank.
Ha. Anyone else notice that most rat campaigns this cycle are focusing on fear mongering or trying to make it about a single issue (abortion)? They dare not run on issues, or anything to do with past performance or obama. So it’s all about fear for the rats.
And tomorrow I would not be surprised to see ads from the MarxoFascist Dems that if the GOP takes the KY House, that lynchings of blacks will commence immediately in order to return them to slavery.
Well, remember, Pelosi did say if the Republicans took control of the Senate, it would be the end of civilization.
We actually had FREEDOM in the 19th century. So yes, let’s go back.
This is just the RAT’s way of calling Republicans racists, they know there is no way to counter it.
You can’t deny it, because then you are accepting their argument that it may be the truth. There is no defense against the charge, you can’t prove a negative.
19th century? Isn’t that back when Democrats were defending the institution of slavery against Republican abolishionists?
abolishionists = abolitionists
GOP wont win control and 2015 Gubernatorial because Rand and Mitch have been pushing amnesty for 2 years.

Impeach, appoint a Republican governor, and tell the left to “move on” and “get over it”.
little black box with an X is very appropriate
That would still put us 5 centuries ahead of their Islamic brothers.
Pray America is waking
Beshear, shut up...buying votes with taxpayers money...how low can you go?
