Rand Paul Responds to Conway's Shameful Ad in Kentucky Senate race

When I first learned of this, my first reaction was no candidate even a Democrat would be dumb enough to use anything from someones college years. I was completely wrong -- Conway, Paul's opponent, did just that. Don't think most people want to be judged their entire life on some college stunt. To question any one's faith because of something from college reeks of desperation and is despicable on the part of Conway.

Happy to see that Rand Paul immediately went back at Conway which in itself is totally refreshing. Rand Paul is turning out to be one of our best new candidates and looking forward to seeing him in the Senate.

Democrats have to be getting desperate to pull stunts like this and especially in this Kentucky Senate campaign. Rand Paul may be a new candidate but he comes from a political family which gives him a head start on combating nasty politics. Conway is the typical Democrat attack candidate who has fallen right in line with other democrats who are also throwing the "kitchen sink" at other Republican candidates because nothing else is sticking. With Paul's new ad refuting Conway, this current attack ad mentality of Conway won't stick either.




We went to the Rand Paul website to get the background and found this:

The Weekly Standard has a story about the shameful and despicable campaign ad released by Jack Conway. Here is a snippet of their coverage:

Any time a campaign begins attacking its opponent’s college behavior–to say nothing of the opponent’s religion–isn’t it a sign that the campaign is in its death throes? The Conway attack on Paul smacks of the Hillary Clinton campaign’s mentioning Obama’s cocaine use

Rand Paul’s campaign manager Jesse Benton isn’t taking the attack on Paul’s Christianity so lightly. He responds with this statement:

“Today, Jack Conway stepped way over the line and released a shameful and despicable ad that questions Dr. Paul’s Christian faith. Dr. Paul and Jack Conway may disagree on many issues and the best direction for our country, but personal attacks on Rand’s faith are way out of bounds.

“Rather than address the pressing issues of our time, Jack Conway is shameless doing what so many desperate politicians do at the last minute – resorting to revolting personal smears.

“Kentuckians are sick of gutter politics, and Conway should be ashamed. A candidate who would use such a despicable and desperate attack clearly doesn’t understand the values of the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
