I am not a big Mitch McConnell supporter but faux Tea Party candidate Matt Bevin is nothing more than a Yankee snake oil salesman. Rank and file Tea Party activists for the most part have seen through the Connecticut carpetbagger's veneer which explains his dismal showing in the polls. Bevin is not exactly the thinking man's candidate but give him an A+ for courage. A less courageous candidate could not argue that he did not say what he appeared to say on videotape. One can argue that there is no need to make cock fighting a federal offense. It only invites a SWAT team from the Department of Agriculture to descend upon Kentucky but to try to make a states rights issue of an activity that is already illegal in the state is beyond courage to the point of stupidity.
I have never been to a cock fight but I have friends and relatives who enjoyed the sport. I prefer to savor its legacy. I have developed an affinity for the descendant of the Cornish gamecock and the Plymouth Rock laying hen called the Rock Cornish Hen.

"Twenty years from now, we will all remember the time when the East Coast con-man thought so little of Kentuckians that he pathologically lied to us about absolutely everything until an undercover camera caught him red-handed at a cockfighting rally," said McConnell spokeswoman Allison Moore.
