Sounds like Rand has been in Washington too long. How in the world could anyone endorse a stiff board with a mind full of mush?
Please. He said this two weeks ago and no one made a big deal about it then.
It does not take long to get “inside the beltway” I see...

“David Adams? The guy we fired? He’s just so incompetent,”
“David Adams, who launched Paul’s Senate bid and served as Paul’s campaign manager through the 2010 primaries, and other tea party leaders to mount a primary challenge against McConnell.”
If he is so incompetent how did he get Rand Paul elected.
Looks to me like somebody just got stabbed in the back.
Rand goes with the guy with the power.
“Paul recently appeared in a Mitch McConnell advertisement with the slogan “Stand Up to Obama”
Rand and McConnell made an ad Stand up to Obama????????
When will McConnel start doing that?
I don’t think this will save McConnell from a primary challenge. People are just p*ssed. I hear Mitch on radio ads all the time now and, listening to them, he’s a blessed saint to Conservatives. All he’s doing is patting himself on the back. The primary challenge IS coming, Mitch, regardless of Senator Rand Paul’s position.
In the short time he's been in DC, Rand Paul seems to be good at saying the right thing, but turning around and towing the party line. I'm beginning to get suspicious.
Quid pro quo for MM signing off on RP’s recent bill/amendment to axe six (?) fedgov fiefdoms, perhaps ?
I’m afraid it was obvious that he couldn’t be trusted from the start. And now we’re seeing that confirmed, more and more.
No real principles.
These people ALL suck! There’s no one we can depend on.
They’re Senators.
...and is Ron Paul's grandson-in-law (married Paul's grandaughter Valori Pyeatt. A little in the family wink, wink, nod nod.
Agreed. Beats the heck out of me. RP is just another establishment Republican.
I say they did good by blocking Ashley CRudd from running.
Some here say she never would have won. I think differently.
Actually, it was NOT good. Judd would’ve been a fiasco for KY Dems. Now they’ll have a serious Dem challenger in Sec of State Alison Grimes.

I remember when they said Al Franken was going to be a disaster too. uh huh.
The dems only hope in Kentucky was to split the gop. As soon as rand Paul endorsed McConnell it was all over for them.
Minnesota is not Kentucky. Judd was a deeply flawed and divisive potential candidate, and she did not have the KY Dem Machine behind her.
Secondly, that MN Senate race had 3 candidates running (which would’ve had an altered dynamic in a one-on-one race, which Coleman would’ve prevailed in). The Independence Party candidate running provided “moderate” Democrats and Independents an opportunity to vote for someone not viewed as a nutter, but not having to vote Republican.
Thirdly, it became exceedingly apparent that the race was “won” on the face of voter fraud, and shattered the myth of MN as being a “clean elections” state.
The machine would have been behind her as soon as she announced. there would have been a 3 party race if Paul had backed a tea party candidate. It’s no coincidence she dropped out the same day Paul endorsed McConnell. third party is no longer going to happen and McConnell is now going to win.
