Don Bell, If you're lurking on this page, please call Senator Moore's office.

He just called me from the Ky Senate floor on a "borrowed Democrat cell phone".

He wants you to be there this evening while Governor Patton addresses the joint legislature at opening.

Virgil Goode is from Virginia. Virgil Moore is from Kentucky.

This is an exciting development. Senator Virgil Moore would make an excellent Kentucky Governor. But, Don Bell brings other skills to the table that Kentucky also desperately needs. Now that I think about it for a moment, I find the choice of Don Bell as Lt. Governor to be a stroke of genius on Virgil Moore's part.

If it were a "business," the State of Kentucky is so poorly operated it would be bankrupt. But, Kentucky already has some of the highest taxes in the nation -- they tax every little thing that is manufactured, grown, sold, moves, or sits still for a moment -- so more taxes are not an option.

The Kentucky Democrats set up a system with $100-million in appointed patronage jobs and many of those people never even show up for work. They do, however, kick back a significant part of their salary to the Democratic Party coffers and campaigns. An honest team, like Moore and Bell, would see a budget balancing mechanism there. Cutting out the waste, fraud and abuse in the Medicare-Medicaid and welfare budget could save almost another $100-million annually.

The Kentucky State Police is sorely in need some constructive guidance, which Don Bell can expertly offer. The State is overrun with minor bureaucrats, each wielding arbitrary power in their little fiefdoms, with no coordination or control. And, there are actually three different systems of State prosecutors, one which the government was given permission to eliminate (in the State Constitution) years ago but still exists at a cost to the public of many millions of bucks every year.

Ah yes, there is much work to be done in Kentucky government, if it is ever to be nudged into the twenty-first century. Like the State Constitution, the system of Kentucky State government is a holdover from the horse and buggy era and doesn't work very well anymore.

Kentucky government needs some significant changes . . . soon. A Moore-Bell Governorship would go far in making many of the necessary changes. And, let's face it, even though I also like a couple of the other candidates, I have yet to hear ANY of them even suggesting something at the State level might need changing.

[Doug Fiedor]

Yes. Thanks.

[the irate magistrate]

Excellent commentary Doug.

Thank you.

[Fred Mertz]

Thanks for the flag.

[Sparta]

Great News! Where do I send a check?

[the irate magistrate]

If you are serious.

We really need all the help that we can get.

A contribution of any size will be much appreciated.

It is hard to believe Kentucky may actually have a good executive team, for a change. Is there any word of a possible primary opposition?

Fortunately, or unfortunately, there is going to be a HUGE primary. So far, the ballot looks like this:

Virgil Moore/Don Bell
Ernie Fletcher/Hunter Bates
Steve Nunn/Bob Heleringer
Rebecca Jackson/Robbie Rudulph

Two other possible gubernatorial candidates are John Coburn and Bert Minton.

GO VIRGIL GO!

Folks, there are still too many people who aren't big on the Virgil Moore/Don Bell ticket, since its not a politically correct, elitist ticket. Please e-mail the people at KyRepublicans.com and ask them to give coverage to the Moore/Bell ticket. Right now, if you listened to them, you wouldn't even know that Virgil Moore is running for Governor. It's all Ernie Fletcher this, blah blah blah, Steve Nunn that, blah blah blah.

I met Virgil Moore today in person for the first time. I like him and mostly what he stands for.

I'd like to see Virgil and Freeper Don Bell grab the horse by the reins. It's not official yet, but I think they will be the ticket to pick in the May primary. I believe they'll make it official this coming week by filling in the paperwork.

[the irate magistrate]

Help is on the way !!

[Dianna]

When is the primary?

My time will be limited as I am going back to school, but it does give you a contact at NKU :)

[Fred Mertz]

I believe the primary is on May 22d.

I see he's pro-llama. That locks in Peruvian soccer moms.
