I am sick and tired of getting on Facebook and seeing Republican primary candidates attacking one another. How about you?
I realize there are differences between our primary candidates and these issues should definitely be debated and will be debated. Everyone should know exactly who they are voting for when the day comes in May and again in November. If America didn't learn this lesson in 2008, well I just don't even know what to say. However, there is so much on the line right now. People are angry, people are scared. Some are forcing themselves to stay positive and constantly looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.
When someone decides to run for office, they gain my respect just because they are putting themselves out there for all the praise and the hard times it brings. It can't be enjoyable to constantly be on the road, to constantly be smiling and shaking hands all the while working to make everyone stay positive and see the hard times through. For this, I am grateful to anyone who makes the decision to run for public office and represent the conservative values we want to see take shape in Frankfort and D.C.
With all of that said, I am so tired of seeing our candidates be bashed on facebook and in other media about the most ridiculous things! No one is perfect here, Republican or Democrat or any other party for that matter. I will respect the candidates who have enough self-control and respect for others to act like adults. Our candidates should be setting examples for how they are going to handle the opposition (liberals...not other conservatives) when they take office. If you can't even show simple respect for another Republican fighting to serve the people of Kentucky with conservative values and principles, then how will you ever manage to work with Democrats if you end up in office?? I urge our candidates to be examples to our youngest generations out there, heck...be an example for me. Show some respect and you will earn some in return.

Here here! I completely agree... It's hard not to fight back when others attack you, but we understand that bickering gets us nowhere!! What is the point of fighting when a good debate will let people hear the differences in the candidates without the yelling and name calling. If you can't get your point across in a calm and collected manner Washington and Frankfort are not the places for you.
