Uh-uh. Nice try. Reagan was well-known by 1966 as a Conservative political activist. He had campaigned vigorously for Barry Goldwater in 1964. He had served on two separate occasions in a “political” job as head of SAG. He didn’t have his daddy buy him a party nomination for major office. He had to defeat a liberal who was likely to lose to Pat Brown in the primary. Might I remind you that Daddy Paul is the anti-Reagan. He ran against Reagan because he didn’t find him acceptable as a President. He’s a Libertarian who couldn’t win office under that label, so uses the Republican party instead. And we can go on and on about how comparing him to Reagan is a singular insult to our former President. Face it, Rand Paul is no Ronald Reagan. No public record, no accomplishments in the political realm (hell, I hadn’t even heard of the guy until he decided to buy this race, or rather, have his father buy it for him - and I’ve heard of nearly everyone in the political realm). You’re trying to slime a guy who has a public record, has six years of credible service in a statewide office, and has won twice (including under difficult circumstances).

So, please, come back when Junior has some similar accomplishments, then we’ll talk.

Sorry, but I will continue to say thank God that there are a few hard-working, Constitutional citizens like Dr. Rand Paul who want to pursue office. I don't vote for candidates or endorse them based on their "public record" that meets, or fails to meet, your skewed standards. And I totally disagree that Dr. Ron Paul is the anti-Reagan. Both are heroes of mine. Whatever neo-cons you admire, that's your cross to bear, not mine. I am not sliming anyone, simply giving you documented facts that you may research on your own, if you wish.

So, since you are so much against the way that Rand Paul raises funds for a grassroots campaign for US Senate, and you don't have a vote in this election, here's hoping you aren't one of the big money donors who puts money in Grayson's pockets. A man of the people, a Kentuckian like Rand Paul, doesn't need someone's approval in Tennessee. Good day.
