QUOTE from JAY LENO on VOTING If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. JAY LENO Submitted by CYRUS. QUOTE on the CALL to PUBLIC SERVICE Many a politician has mistaken the sound of his own voice as the call to run for office. CYRUS. QUOTE: MALCOLM X on TRUTH, JUSTICE, HUMANITY QUOTE: BARGAIN OFFERED TO AES OPPONENTS in 1952 QUOTE: INTELLECTUAL SUICIDE, A PATRIOTIC reminder QUOTE on CONSEQUENCES of FAILURE to VOTE - Anonymous quote on sign in W.M. Feese, Jr.'s, office JASON HARMON: Political loyalty Looking at some 1979 newspaper polling photographer clips, Jason Harmon was reminded of the political proclivities of the men and their opinions. "I thought everyone might enjoy this since election fever seems to be sweeping Adair County," he writes. "My Grandpa is Nolan McGaha. Nolan and Pete Bailey were neighbors at Garlin. Pete's son even married Nolan's daughter. Granpa Nolan had also run for Magistrate once, but I think he lost." The caption under the photo, which follows this article, reads:Jason continues, "I think the election they are talking about was the 1979 election between John Y. Brown and Louie B. Nunn. "I looked up the stats on the election and was puzzled that my grandpa though Nunn had won. "Nunn lost by a fairly big margin. Brown received over 59% of the popular vote. "Grandpa, being a loyal Republican, probably just thought everyone else should be too!" District 3 Issue: Blacktop doesn't equal progress to everyone; voter wants it removed from hill An interesting election issue this year is over blacktop, with a different angle. An incomer on Powell Creek Road is searching out candidates who will remove the blacktop paving on the Powell Creek Road entrance hill off KY 900."And I don't want any more blacktop on the road," he said. "When snow falls on the hill, the blacktop is so slick you could slide out onto 900," Bob Henningsen, says. "Somebody could get killed." So far, he hasn't gotten any incumbents to come to his side. Powell Creek Road is just out of Glens Fork, KY, in Magisterial District 3. The Henningsens and their close neighbors have built a beautiful horse country compound of homes, barns, paddocks, and hill top open pastures, off Powell Creek Road. They want to keep the rural charm of the area. That's what drew them here in the first place, they say. Pap told him: Democrats lie. Republicans tell the truth "We gotta tell the truth. Pap always told me: NEVER lie in an election, the way Democrats do. Tell somebody you're going to gravel their road, why, you do it. Say you're going to pull a ditch, why, get out there with a grader and get it done when you said you would. Now, if you promise somebody's daughter old lady G.() 's job, why, when we get in, we fire old lady G() and give her job to the Republican girl we promised it too. The Democrats got us where we are by their lying. And John, things are bad. You know that. But now Democrats are being poked out of their holes. We're going to win this thing by telling the truth on them. They'll lie to you "Pap said that is the difference between us and Democrats. They'll lie to you. We don't. I say that we can put Louie in by just telling it straight. Never lie. . . but I will say this, John, if you do have to lie, why, like Pap always told me, LIE HARD. That way nobody can catch you." - METCALFE POLITICIAN Strategizing during the 1967 Louie B. Nunn (R) vs. Henry Ward (D) Campaign for Governor of Kentucky i, paraphrased. Nunn won, and went on to become one of he greatest Governors Kentucky ever had, carrying Metcalfe County world without end. I guess truth can hurt you worse in an election than about anything that can happen to you. - WILL ROGERS. Post on the advice of CYRUS QUOTE on the WHY IT'S HARD TO VOTE FOR THE BEST MAN Eleven-Year-Old sixth grader says, "Some day I will vote on my own" Ive been going to vote with my Mom and Dad since I was about 4 years old. My parents always told me its a privilege to vote and you respect that right. My Dad taught U.S. Government and my Mom is a Political Buff. I think if my Mom wasnt able to vote she would lose her sanity. My Mom says if you dont vote then you dont have a right to complain about who gets into office. Not too long ago, we were voting for the governor of Kentucky and we werent supposed to tell my grandmother and sister who everyone else in the family was voting for. When November came, I went to the polls with my parents and Grandmother Aaron. While we were in the voting booth, I asked my grandmother, Do you really want to vote for Chandler after all you are a Republican? Well she went ahead and voted for Chandler. My Mom and Dad famous words when I go into the voting booth with them are Dont tell anyone who I voted for. The moral of the story is vote how you want and dont let people pressure you to vote any other way. Ive been going into the voting booth since I was about 4 years old and some day I will vote on my own. So when May rolls around, whether youre a Democrat or Republican, get on a bike, 4-wheeler, call a taxi or get in your vehicle and go VOTE. - BLAKE AARON CRITIQUE of GREAT POLITICAL WRITING Of all the political quips and quotes you've posted in the Election Day countdown, Blake Aaron's thoughts outshine them all. If only a tithe of the electorate and the politicians were as wise and insightful as he.- CYRUS Judge Herschel Clay Baker, expressing the collective voice of Old Timers when they spoke of a hot and heavy 1840s era Kentucky House election involving Joshua Bell and Adair Countian George A. Caldwell: Judge Baker laments passingHumbly submitted by your Central Ohio Bureau Chief, Cyrus QUOTE by JOHN F. KENNEDY I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy - "Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide." - JOHN F. KENNEDY. Submitted by CYRUS - TIP O'NEILL, former speaker of the the U.S. House of Representatives. Submitted by CYRUS The perception of being a winner is so important.

Some day the people of Louisiana are going to have reform government and they ain't gonna like it.-EARL K. LONG. If I'm elected I won't do a damn thing. I just need the money. -JINGLE WOOTEN, running for a Russell County office a few years back.
