I wasn't pushing CT I was saying there was something weird going on, and the people of Kentucky deserved to know, even if it took suing for proof of life.

We STILL need proof, of life or brain-deadness.

At least no one is laughing about this anymore.

R's cheating in this way breaks federal and state law. If the R's can't come clean it's time to pressure wash the situation
