"Dude -- Let's have a cockfight! ... Heh-heh."
Man oh man. While I appreciate the sentiment, that states should decide their own animal cruelty laws......Why oh why would a candidate for national office allow himself (or herself) to be drawn into the obvious trap????
Matt may have just fatally wounded himself. More’s the shame
Call me crazy if you must, “Gamefowl Defense Network” sounds like the exact opposite of what it actually was.
Steve King has tried to block a lot of these amendments because it is a state issue.
The Democrats wanted to run ads and they were blocked.

Ray Cole, president and chief operating officer of Citadel Communications, which includes WOI in West Des Moines and KCAU in Sioux City, said his company considered the ad misleading.
A review of congressional records shows that King made it clear to his fellow House members that he is opposed to all forms of dogfighting, but believes the issue is a state matter rather than a federal one, Cole said.
It appears McConnell was infiltrated the Matt Bevin organization. No one running state wide would every go to a cock fight or a dog fight rally. No one. He was setup by someone in his organization working for McConnell. Were I a Kentucky voter I would be more pissed at (corrupt) McConnell when (stupid) Matt Bevin.
It is because they will start redefining what fighting is.
If they fight while in captivity about to get processed the animal rights nutcases will try to get them charged them with a federal crime.
"Dude -- Let's have a cockfight! ... Heh-heh."
I believe cockfighting is legal in Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Joe Ely does a great song about it called “Gallo del Cielo”.
Is this some big issue in Kentucky? I couldn’t care less.
The Feds involved in local chicken fights? What's next, they gonna try and tell me what kind of toilet or light bulb I have to buy?......oh wait......
Right or wrong, if the people who voted me to represent them want to fight chickens, then by God I'm gonna support them.........That is what a representative is all about.
After reading the article, it definitely sounds like Bevin was set up, perhaps from someone inside his own campaign.
But, that probably isn’t going to matter. What a damn shame.
cock fighting rally? Is this a queer boxing association, or what? I’m just sayin.
Why do our candidates do stupid stuff?
... and McConnell doesn’t need to say a thing to enjoy a nice “win” here ... and he knows it!
He’s correct about it being a States’ issue, but he just kissed away any chance he had of beating Chinless. Unbelievably stupid to be willingly connected with the way wrong side of cockfighting. Attending a pro-cockfighting rally is probably dumber than what Todd Akin did. One would have to be a total fool to send him a dime now.
Gone with the wind from his lips.
He must be courting the latino vote.
Oh geez. I this guy another RINO plant? That was just plain stupid.
Why is there a law against cock fighting? The fighting of male chickens is in their genes.
In humane? What does that have to do with it? how is it inhumane? That is purely in the mind of the person, not the cock.
Cruelty to animals? Why is it cruel to let them do what they apparently lke to do.
The loser is not wasted. The loser is eaten
Todd Akin II. What an idiot!
