Mitch McConnell’s buddies in Big Oil just recorded the biggest profits in history,” Lunsford says,“How are you doing? On average, Big Oil CEOs got paid $15 million last year. How about you? And after 24 years in the Senate, Mitch McConnell has become a multi-millionaire. Guess who paid for that? You did. I’m Bruce Lunsford and I approve this message, because when your Senator and his special interest pals are doing so much better than you, it’s time for a change.
...and again in a recent statement from the Lunsford campaign:
While Mitch McConnell’s buddies at Big Oil have seen record profits this year, and earned an average of $15 million in pay last year, Mitch McConnell has become a multi-millionaire on the taxpayer dime. Mitch McConnell has forgotten where he comes from and is not on our side. He is no longer the Senator from the great Commonwealth of Kentucky; he is now the Senator from Big Oil. It is time for a change.
Lunsford, a Louisville businessman, has kept this race close not only with hard-hitting ads about McConnell's links to big oil, but also by accusing the Senator of having a record of little or no accomplishments that benefit the people of Kentucky.
On the campaign trail, Lunsford repeatedly draws a sharp contrast between McConnell's personal financial position and that of most Kentuckians. Although there are no polls more recent than early August, it seems pretty clear that Lunsford's aggressive campaign has given the Bluegrass Democrat a real shot at upsetting Mr. McConnell.
ElectBlue urges our readers to help Lunsford win this seat for the Democrats. It's a rare opportunity to knock off the top Republican in the Senate.
