Dr. Dan Channels His Inner Mitch McConnell
It appears the real reason Mitch McConnell doesn't want Jim Bunning to run for re-election is because homophobic DINO, coal industry apologist and no-hoper Senate candidate Lt. Gov. Dan Mongiardo would be a more reliable republican vote.
Page One nails it:
Daniel Mongiardo says he supports universal health care but not socialized medicine. And he rattles on with Republican talking points about cap and trade.“The Cap and Trade is basically putting a tax on carbon, on CO2, which means anything that produces CO2, coal being number one, is going to be impacted negatively,” says Mongiardo.
Even though Mongiardo endorsed president Obama in the presidential election, he says the Cap and Trade bill is one area they do not agree on. “The tax that’s going to be levied on Kentucky families, Kentucky businesses, and our economy would be devastating. There’s no way that anyone in this whole state could possibly be “for” this Cap and Trade.”
But Mongiardo says he does agree with the President’s views on health care. “I am for universal health care where everyone has some form of insurance of some form of coverage. I am certainly not for socialized medicine.
What does he think government-run health care is? Socialized medicine, single-payer, universal. It’s all the same thing run by the same government for the same people. Does Lt. Dan think Kentuckians are stupid?

Dan Mongiardo: Corporate whore, repug shill, shameless liar or hopeless idiot? How about all of the above? And who cares?

To answer your question, yes, Dr. Dan DOES think Kentuckians are stupid. Unfortunately, in many cases he's right.
It's the way conservative politics work - assume most people are stupid, and most of the rest of them are too lazy to search out the truth on any issue at all. And again, most of the time they're right.
Unfortunately, the constant cycle of "don't tell me I'm stupid, and don't tell me how smart you or your coterie are" just makes it worse and worse. By definition, one may not, one cannot tell a stupid person how stupid s/he is, and as a result s/he keeps behaving and voting stupidly.
There's no way to stop the cycle that I can see, and until the cycle IS stopped, the repugs (and those like Dr. Dan) will continue to hold sway over a segment of the populace. You get the point, I'm sure. Stupid is as stupid does.
