Calling Chandler Out:

Regarding the stupid newspaper "debate" taking place online:
This is an inane forum designed purely to keep Ben Chandler from having to face the public.
The Herald Leader has conveniently arranged it to provide Ben an “out” after being challenged to debates by his opponent.

You, Ben, are not purely a candidate…you are a sitting congressman who has spent the last 19 months voting into
existence a centrally planned economy which will impact every man, woman, and child in this district and this country.
You have taken unthinkable liberties with our lives and have refused to openly discuss your actions.
You have offered to meet with us individually in your office…on YOUR turf with all the trappings of your position.

I am calling you out to meet with us on OUR turf. Get to know our space and our lives!
I am speaking as a housewife and a mother, standing shoulder to shoulder with all “the little people”
who are forced to live under policies inflicted by a stroke of a pen.
We drive trucks, we work in grocery stores, we tend hearth and home, and WE ARE IGNORED.
You claim to have visited people in all walks of life across this district.
When and where? How were these “meetings” publicized? You have no answer because they weren’t.
You chose the place and the audience; all of it orchestrated.

You insult us with ads rehashing your “glory days” of 2003. We want to talk about 2010.
If you will not debate your opponent face to face, have an open forum with this housewife.
Is that too intimidating for you, or do you prefer to enjoy the sanctity of your Washington office?
The rest of us will continue slogging through the real world,
finding ways to adjust our lives to the “new”, the “green”,
and the obscene…the effects of your voting record.

Chandler in Stanford, KY August 2, 2010

Puzzled one week, brilliant the next!

On August 2, Chandler was completely baffled when asked how to create manufacturing jobs with his energy tax scheme in place.
The youtube shows his answer...
Silence, then..."There are policies being put in place."

One week later, Ben has the answer!
Alternative energies will provide our people jobs...
Jobs that can't be moved overseas!!!!
(Have you ever tried to move a coal mine overseas?)
And the best news yet...the planet will live through it!

YES...Chandler has hit on the solution to everything:
Alternative Energy, in this case from algae.
Algae will provide many many jobs.
Algae is apparently unhappy overseas, so our clean sustainable
earth-loving jobs will stay here in the good old USA!!!
Click here for Ben's sales pitch.

Does this mean the 2600 people who stood in line to apply for
100 temporary jobs in Lexington last March
will finally be seeing a paycheck?

Coal jobs, deemed unfriendly to Earth,
are not the wave of the future in Ben's plans!

In 2006, Ben looked forward to emulating Brazil's
green initiatives. Click here to listen:
"If Brazil can do it, the USA can do it, you would think..."

The new "IN" career:
"Today I feel proud of being a garbage sorter."
Sorting Garbage - Green and Dignified Work
800,000 people work sorting through garbage to salvage
recyclable materials in Brazil.
"Garbage sorting" started as a necessity when factory jobs
became scarce (sound familiar?),
but "the importance of the work" now gives pride.

This is the "green way forward"...
Kentucky already boasts new garbage sorting jobs.
1,000 people were expected to line up for 350 jobs
in early August...you guessed it...
garbage sorting jobs!

BTW: Brazil discovered offshore reserves of oil
and is sucking it up as fast as they can!
Enough "green" already...fossil fuels are the way to go!

Then, please click here
to listen to an interview
with the owner of
a private coal company.

It is an interview with Robert Murray, owner of Murray Energy Corp.,
regarding the war on coal.
It lasts about 20 minutes; was recorded in June 2009 by Investors Business Daily.
The sound quality is not the best, but is worth putting up with.

Where's Ben?
Town Hall Countdown!!!

In office 2,399 days...
Still no Town Hall Meeting!

Hollow election promises from Chandler campaign:
Fundraising Letter, July 30, 2010:

"Together, we can make sure the hard working folks here in
Central Kentucky will have their voices heard in Congress."

8/26/10 Called Chandler's office again:
Still no town hall scheduled.
So far, a replay of last August...
Chandler "toured" 6th district in the trunk of a car
and called it "Good"!
Check your own car trunk...
yours might be the honored vehicle of the day!

Post-Election

"In my judgement, the only tool we had was government spending.
When the private sector shuts down,
what else do you have but government spending."

Click here to hear Ben's explanation for the financial crisis.

July 7, 2010:
The US marked the 3rd largest
single-day debt increase.
"The one-day increase for June 30 totaled
$165,931,038,264.30 -
bigger than the entire annual deficit for fiscal year 2007 .
The figure works out to nearly
$1,500 for every U.S. household,
or more than 10 times the median daily household income."

Three days later, Ben Chandler speaks...
"Now is not the time for Washington
to stop spending money."
"Before we can even begin to think about the deficit,
we have got to get the economy moving again."
"Show me any circumstances where you take money out of the economy
and the economy gets stronger as a result.
I just don't believe that."
Reagan put money into the economy in a way Ben does not understand:
Let people keep more of their own earnings!
Result: Lower taxes, millions of new jobs!!!

Always talking...

"When I get ready to tell some of my constituents the
nature of this spending problem
and particularly the point about this administration
borrowing more in 6 years than our country has borrowed in
the entirely of its history previous to these 6 years,
I advise them to please sit down before they hear this
information because they are not going to believe it.
It is that extraordinary. I can't believe it.
I still can't really get my arms around
the fact that we are doing that."

"I think one of the most important points is,
when you borrow to that extent
and when you get yourself in debt to that extent,
it makes you less secure.
We are looking for security in this country.
That is what the American people want.
When you are deeply in debt
I would submit to you that you are, in fact,
less secure, and that is what we are getting in this country."

...Ben Chandler, Feb. 27, 2007

It's all different in DC:
Ben brags about being tough on corruption in
Kentucky as Attorney General:
"I was persona non grata in my own party...
but I thought they broke the law."
But that was in the minor leagues...Now Ben plays in the majors!

Rangel, tax cheat extraordinaire, has been before the
Ethics Committee for over TWO YEARS!
Ben, sitting on $10,000 of "Charlie Cash", has apparently
been unable to decide if Rangel violated House Rules.
Congressmen, in droves, are giving back campaign contributions
from Rangel...to the tune of $650,000.
But not our Ben!

Our boy knows a good deal when he sees it!
Take the money and run!
"It's a case where greed trumps common sense and everybody knows
that returning the money is the ethical thing to do."
National Legal and Policy Center

Aren't you proud?

Click here for audio of Ben
"answering" the question,
"Why don't you give
Rangel's money back?"

Ben gives a meandering
non-answer answer,
but the short version is:

"I don't have to."

(Besides, it's election season,
and TV ads are expensive...)

Tax Law We Can Believe in:
HR 735:
The Rangel Rule Act of 2009:
Under the proposed law,
any taxpayer who wrote
“Rangel Rule” on their return
when paying back taxes would be
immune from penalties and interest.

Works for me!

Negative Attack Ads!
Ben can dish it out, but doesn't take it well.
Ben claims he's already been attacked.

"I Endorsed Barack Obama
I'm Proud That I Did!"
Ben lights up with Obama around!
(Footage of Obama is out of sync, but everything about
this administration is out of sync!)

Although baffled by taxes,
Ben has no problem tackling

I've got to make a decision

"Responsible

Still laughing?

2011 will bring the first wave of tax hikes.
Arthur Laffer, Wall Street Journal

June 25: The DISCLOSE Act is written specifically to limit political free speech of people with whom the Democratic Party disagrees.
Chandler was a co-sponsor of the bill.

The DISCLOSE Act, in now-customary fashion, was written behind closed doors. Ben Chandler, as a former attorney general, knows full well the impact of his sponsorship and vote. Unions, his largest donor group, are exempt. Small businesses and grass roots organizations are hit hardest.

Violating the law by engaging in forbidden political speech
can land you in a federal prison!

This is an effort to affect the outcome of November's election
through intimidation of those who oppose Chandler,
his party, his House Speaker, and his President.

Please read this article in the Wall Street Journal.
Authored by 8 former Federal Election Commissioners, it explains the legislation very thoroughly.

The world focuses on Obama and his tantrums.
Will he get what he wants?
Will his presidency be damaged?

They have forgotten...
Our kids are still deploying.

They are in harm's way
serving under a
Commander in Chief who
doesn't appear to give a
rat's rear end...

A Commander in Chief
regarded by our Ben as
a man of great integrity.

The Plain Truth...

A Vote for Ben
is
A Vote for Nancy

They're interchangeable!

Wave
"Bye-bye, Ben"
and it's
"Bye-bye, Nancy"

A two-fer we can believe in!!!!
