Anti-Horse Candidate for Ky Gov.
Kentucky Senate President David Williams and Richie Farmer, the state’s commissioner of agriculture, announced Sept. 1 their bid for governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, on a 2011 Republican ticket.
Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear will seek re-election in 2011. Beshear and his running mate, Louisville mayor Jerry Abramson, announced their candidacy earlier this year. Williams in a release said Kentucky is “adrift” and needs strong leadership. Farmer, a former University of Kentucky basketball player, was quoted in recent published reports as saying he is interested in remaining in state government but his “dream job” would be that of UK athletic director. Williams for years has been at odds with members of the Kentucky horse racing industry over his opposition to alternative gaming at racetracks.

Thankfully, I think he's got about a 0% chance to win. He's a piece of garbage and even the reddest of Republicans hate him.

He most certainly is anti-horse, anyone in the business knows this and does not have to have it explained to them. Look at his voting record and campaign contributors and you can quickly figure it out. Maybe you should stick with something you know...............photography.

I don't see that as anti-horse which to me indicates the guy hates horses. Just feel the title of your topic was misleading. Oh, yeah, thanks for the compliment about the photography. I really needed a lift.  AND, I'm pretty sure the seats we have are roomier and much more comfortable than anything Gary has to offer.

david williams is a scary bad guy...
from his 2007 essay on the subject: The most troubling aspect I find in the gambling proponents’ disingenuous arguments is their assertion the taxes generated on gambling activity will come at no cost. States with casinos are breeding grounds for political and social ills that create a destabilizing effect on families. Every dollar that is spent in a Kentucky casino will go out of circulation instead of being spent for necessities. People from all walks of life will contribute to this tax. However, the ones who will be hurt the most are those who lose the money they and their families need for rent, utilities, and food. The loss of that money and the corrupt activity that will come after that, the increased crime rate, the increased divorce and family violence rate, the increased social problems all help negate the perceived “benefit” of expanded gambling. The crime rates in casino communities are 84% higher than the national average. Bankruptcies also rise as predatory lenders prey on the vulnerable. this from a guy who goes out of state to play black jack...but hes gonna save the poor buy not allowing that evil into the great commonwealth. I wish UK would just give him that athletic director job he keeps whining that he wants...
