Here’s what Todd Lally has to say about his “Conservative Values” on his campaign website:
Our Declaration of Independence defined our core American values, exemplified by life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is with this in mind that I share my conviction in support of the right to life, for we must vigorously defend these rights for those who cannot defend themselves. I am very proud to have been endorsed by Kentucky Right to Life in this run for Kentucky’s Third District Congressional seat.
Challenges to conservative values, embodied in the right to life, a traditional definition of marriage, or otherwise, have come largely from activism in the courts. As your Congressman I will not get to vote on the confirmation of judges, but I will, in every way possible, support the nominations of judges to the Supreme Court who strictly interpret the Constitution and therefore resist judicial activism.
Aside from Lally claiming to support liberty while at the same time being an anti-choice homophobe, you see anything that sticks out like a sore thumb? Maybe that bit about him first telling you that part of the problem in this country is activist judges? And then telling you he’d have no say in their confirmation? Only to follow that up with saying it doesn’t matter, that he’d support right-wing activist judges anyway?
Ignorance and hypocrisy aside, take a look at this footage of Lally claiming President Barack Obama wouldn’t/couldn’t/shouldn’t get a security clearance because he’s dealt with MoveOn and Rev. Wright:
I think it’s now quite clear why Todd Lally and Frank Simon are such great friends.

Judges are cleared in the Senate not the House; I do believe Mr. Lally is running for the House

Good Lord. Lally seems like a decent enough guy, but the dude also is seemingly stuck in 1950.

Just under a month until you’ll be adressing him as Congressman Lally! Can’t wait!
4 Charlie // Oct 5, 2010 at 7:18 pm
You’re Lally’s best promoter.

It gets you folks to load this site, doesn’t it?
(He won’t be elected – keep dreaming.)

HAHA!!! Lally gets several significant endorsements from local business leaders and groups in the past couple of days and Jake pimps video that is 6 months old. Did the CJ actually asked Lally if he thought Obama was the anti-Christ. WTF???

BREAKING NEWS: The Republican Chamber of Commerce endorsed Todd Lally. Shocker.
It was reported, what, everywhere? So the world wouldn’t know if I didn’t report it?
You teabaggers can’t have your cake and eat it, too. You can’t claim I’m insignificant one day and complain about my responsibility to report something the next.

(P.S. This particular clip didn’t hit until mid-Sept. While the appearance is old, the clip is not.)

The clip has been on the CJ Editorial web site since April. It was part of the CJ Primary Editorial board interviews with Hausman, Reece, Lally, and Wicker. It was posted by the CJ the same time as Jim Kings, Greg Fisher, and Tyler Allens interviews were posted. I am sure the CJ can confirm this for you if you don’t believe it.

No shit.
Hence that comment at 8:09 P.M.

The clip didn’t hit until mid-Sept? Uhh, the clip has been on the C-J website since May. Keep digging, gayboy. It’s obvious you are starting to get worried.

Really? Worried? I guess that’s why all polling has John Yarmuth ahead?
What does my sexual orientation have to do with the fact that the clip was published on YouTube on September 12, 2010? Click the link, brain. And see comments from hours ago where I said the appearance was from months ago.
I think most of you teabagger shitstains comment anonymously because you don’t have the courage or the ability to stand up to someone like me. A scary gay. You’re afraid to use your real identity with real contact information because you know what would happen.

I gotta wonder what Lally thinks of Rand Paul’s association with the whackjobs of Ron Paul’s organization.

this guy isn’t any different then any other hypocritical republican speaking of American values, exemplified by life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness out one side of his mouth and then denying the exact same thing for people he doesn’t care about. how can anyone follow these idiots and think they are good our country.

The very nature of teabaggers is to have it both ways, or more accurately their way. A perfect example is Rand Paul’s recent endorsement of vouchers for private schools. Uh, how does that fit with limited government, low (or no) taxes, and free markets??
Hypocrites.

“RE: . . . the fact that the clip was published on YouTube on September 12, 2010?”
Ahhh YouTube. The system of record. Couldn’t find anything in Wikipedia ?
While I love the idea of vouchers for private schools, I will not be voting for Rand Paul. Conway has my vote.

Stop with the spin.
Take a look at when this particular YouTube clip was uploaded, as I have also made clear:
I made it very clear in earlier comments that the interview took place months ago.
