[robo-call advertisement from the Republican Party of Kentucky]
Hello friends this is Pat Boone a fellow Kentuckian by descent from grandaddy Dan’l. I’ve always been proud of Kentucky’s stance on patriotic, military and moral issues; a great heritage. Now, as an American and a Christian I am very conservative about the upcoming governor’s election. Ernie Fletcher is a typical Kentuckian, he’s worked long and hard for the state, its people, and its traditions. And, of course, he has come under attack by political opponents and now he faces a man who wants his job who has consistently supported every homosexual cause: same sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights, to gay, lesbian, bisexual, even transgender individuals.
The problem (inaudible) gay advocacy groups (inaudible) enthusiastically endorse Beshear, knowing he’s their guy. Kentuckians have already voted to amend the state constitution to prohibit same sex marriage. Now, do you want governor who’d like Kentucky to be like another San Francisco? Please reelect Ernie Fletcher.

I think it's an insult that he thinks gay people are so repulsive that he's willing to base this entire part of his campaign on gay issues.
Fuck you, Pat Boone. I'm sure most Americans wouldn't want Kentucky to become another Iran, either.
"he faces a man who wants his job who has consistently supported every homosexual cause: same sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights"
Not special rights, dickhead - the same rights that you take for granted
"even transgender individuals"
Oh, the horror, the horror!!!!!
Well, duh! . You live in a democracy , remember?
"Now, do you want governor who’d like Kentucky to be like another San Francisco?"
Sounds like a big improvement to me, if you're an example of what Kentucky currently has to offer.
What do you expect from a man who got successful 50 years ago by by covering songs by Little Richard, Fats Domino, et al. - and his versions got more airplay because he's white? (Never mind that Pat's versions were dishwater dull.)
I won't mention his daughter Debby.
Well, duh!. You live in a democracy, remember?
That was pretty much my reaction too.
I would just like to point out, as a native of the state in question, that Gov. Fletcher, who Mr. Boone is advocating here, narrowly escaped conviction with a plea bargain on charges of corruption.
Also, Gov. Fletcher (in spite of a spirited assist from mr. Boone) was defeated in a 17 point (58.7% of the vote to 41.3%) landslide by the democratic challenger Steve Beshear.
In an unimportant side note, the UK wildcats also won their season opener. It was a good day in the bluegrass.
"Ernie Fletcher is a typical Kentuckian, he’s worked long and hard for the state, its people, and its traditions."
So Kentucky's traditions involve political bribery, bypassing state hiring laws, and the patronage system?
Tough Pat Boone, you've lost!
BTW, has anyone seen the photo of a young Pat Boone showing his dick through a shoe box? Self-exposure! Some Christian!
In reply to jsonitsac:
Unfortunately, Kentucky's history does include a lot of those things, but we're trying to do better.
The electorate having the sense to run that scoundrel Fletcher out of Frankfort on a rail is a good step in that direction.
"even transgender individuals."
As one of those "transgender individuals," I have this to say to you, Pat: Fuck you AND your soulless governor candidate!
I’ve always been proud of Kentucky’s stance on patriotic, military and moral issues; a great heritage.
The KKK and slavery?
And, of course, he has come under attack by political opponents and now he faces a man who wants his job who has consistently supported every homosexual cause: same sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights, to gay, lesbian, bisexual, even transgender individuals.
Go Beshear!
The problem (inaudible) gay advocacy groups (inaudible) enthusiastically endorse Beshear, knowing he’s their guy.
OH NOES!
Kentuckians have already voted to amend the state constitution to prohibit same sex marriage. Now, do you want governor who’d like Kentucky to be like another San Francisco?
How is Gay marriage going to effect you. I mean really, how is it going to effect you. It isn't. It's a personal matter and you should step the fuck off.
Please reelect Ernie Fletcher.
He's a friend of the WBC!
Drat. Pat Boone is a major disappointment, and I cringe at how shamelessly he exploits his famous ancestor Daniel (and defames him by association). I'll still watch Journey to the Center of the Earth on occasion, but I'll never enjoy it as much again.
Just saw the news:
"With about 97 percent of the precincts reporting in Kentucky, Democrat Steve Beshear had 59 percent of the vote, well ahead of Fletcher's 41 percent, according to results from the state elections board."
Good riddance.
And, what is wrong with being like San Francisco? Great weather, great views, beaches, boating and real, live gay people actually out in public places being themselves.

CORRECTIONS
1. Pat Boone does not say "I am very conservative about the upcoming governor’s election," he says "I am very concerned about the upcoming governor’s election."
2. Pat Boone does not say "The problem (inaudible) gay advocacy groups (inaudible) enthusiastically endorse Beshear", he says "The prominent gay advocacy group CFAIR just enthusiastically endorsed Beshear".
I feel sorry for Debbie Boone -- it's not her fault her music was always so insipid, she grew up with this theiving, grave-shitting jerkoff for a dad. His stuff on WND is incredibly ill-informed, and I don't think the guy has much in the way of principles. He may think he does, which is the scary part. But I don't think he has any worth discussing.
(Big difference between Pat Boone and Elvis Presley: Elvis was the Eminem of his day, doing justice to material from another culture with a high level of talent. Pat Boone was Vanilla Ice.)
Incidentally, what's wrong with being more like San Francisco? They have a really cool public transportation system and some impressive local food traditions, as well as a huge wine industry within half a day's drive. And a pretty cool baseball field right on the water, with kayakers who get together to try to catch stray homers.
Hey, Kentucky: enjoy life in the purple. If you guys get your shit together, you can join us when us blue states secede to join Soviet Canuckistan. We've got better food, but we really need the Maker's Mark taps to keep flowing in hipster bars...
You make me sick. Find something better to rag on, why don't you. And there's nothing wrong with San Fansisco, by the way.
Honey and vingear, y'know.
Papabear - that was a shame, indeed.
BrianX -- very apt comparison (Elvis=Eminem/Pat=Ice), though I'm no fan of Eminazi...
His stuff on WND is incredibly ill-informed, and I don't think the guy has much in the way of principles. He may think he does, which is the scary part. But I don't think he has any worth discussing.
Most fundies don't, but boy do they think they do.
Those inaudible tags are unacceptable. If you're going to robo-call speak clearly.
Pat Boone.
Helping the Democrats inhabit the White House for another generation.
'Stop being the stupid party!'
Question, Patty-boy: why did fellow Repubican Bobby Jindal say that to others of his own ilk, post-late 2012...?!
You may not like the answer if you dare ask yourself that. And all down to that one religio-politically lethal word: Demographics.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
