Check out where “conservative” Rand Paul announced his intentions to run for the senate.
On May 1, 2009, Paul officially confirmed that if Bunning, whose fundraising in 2009 has matched his poor numbers in opinion polling for the 2010 election,[46] declined to seek a third term, he would almost certainly run in the Republican Party primary to succeed him,[47] and formed an exploratory committee soon after, while still promising to stay out of the race if Bunning had ultimately decided to run for re-election. Paul made this announcement on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show, though a local Kentucky news site first broke the news.[48]
So what? He’s been on Alex Jones radio show numerous times doesn’t mean he’s a conspiracy theorist.
Also no one else would have him on his show.. Maddow was the best he could get.
That’s right: FOX and the GOP establishment in 2009 didn’t want Rand Paul.
