Would Kentucky voters back Ashley Judd in a Senate race against Republican and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, should the actress choose to run? Yahoo News asked them for their thoughts. Here's one.
COMMENTARY | I'm a life-long Kentuckian and life-long independent, something which I do not recommend.
It's true, I dislike Mitch McConnell. I disagree with his political views, and I'm ashamed by his behavior. More importantly, I blame him and his party for the mind-numbing political gridlock in Washington.
However, would I vote for Judd? No, not yet anyway.
After hearing about her possible campaign in Kentucky on NPR, I attempted to find out more about her political views. And here is the entirety of what I found: She is passionate about women's rights and a woman's right to choose, she is a big Obama supporter, and she is an environmentalist.
Don't get me wrong. I agree with all of her views, but those political talking points constitute the entirety of Judd's political agenda. No plans, no meaningful speeches, and no depth.
Granted, this could easily be corrected during the course of her campaign; however, I refuse to blindly vote for someone simply because they are in the opposite party. After all, that's how Rand Paul got elected.
And anyway, exactly how does an environmentalist win in a mountain-top-removal coal-mining state?
