Take away the betting aspect and you would probably have fewer people at a horse race than you would get at a Republican county meeting in Knott County. As a spectator sport horse racing does not have the appeal of basketball, football, NASCAR or baseball. Would anyone actually care about — or attend — horse racing if there was not gambling involved?

I will NEVER again vote for anyone who votes for it. This includes our local loud mouth supporter Dennis Keene who also played follow the leader by voting for the liquor and cigarette taxes. H can probably retire with his payola bank anyway. Giving the horse industry control over expanded gambling is as ignorant as can be. I will NEVER again vote for anyone who votes for it.

Whether or not to gamble is an individual choice that should be left to the individual. David Williams may be a Republican on the far right of the moralizing spectrum, but he's not a Conservative. That said, I'm sorry that slots are needed to save Kentucky's horse industry. Horse racing is a fabulous, exciting sport with great competition, great drama and great stars. It's not succeeding on its own, in my opinion, because it's micro-managed and micro-marketed on a state-by-state basis rather than as the national pastime it could be with national, rational management and marketing.

Irony is soooo sweet. And the news that the nat GOP is developing a litmus test for republican leadership is frosting on the cake. Some days are just better than others.
