Why isn't he bragging about bering a dutiful Democrat and rubber stamping everything Obama, Pelosi and Reid put before him? That should endear him to all his constituents.

To me his earlier statement that he didn't believe that the Civil Rights Act shouldn't have applied to private individuals or businesses is outrageous. So businesses would still be able to refuse to serve people based on their ethnicity... neighborhoods could still be "restricted". I'm old enough to remember when a black person would only be employed by a major corporation as a janitor no matter what his or her level of education. Anyone who wants to go back to those days deserves the likes of a Rand Paul... but the rest of America doesn't ... I hope he goes down the tubes... for the good of America.

After watching Conway's interview, I completely disagree with him. He stated that people shouldn't have the right to make fun of other people's religions. Now, not to mention that this was 30 years ago. I'm in college now, I've written paper's against religion, dismissing it as folly and its followers as fool-hardy and dangerous. I've made jokes about religious people. So what? It was all in jest, no one got hurt, and it's the experience of going to college where you examine ideas, act a bit stupid, and take big positions in things. Conway is no liberal, he's no conservative. I don't like Rand Paul's politics much. And I would probably just abstain from voting in that district. But I don't think Conway deserves to win, and I think this ad is the main reason he doesn't deserve to win. What a joke! Such a pathetic candidate.

Time to ban campaigning on television and radio, it is far too wasteful. Assign a centeralized space in each voting district (and online for that matter) to which each candidates criminal record, credit score, and employment history are posted. Give each candidate 10 pages of Times New Roman double spaced size 12 font formatted pages onto which they can place their platform, and THEN we voters can get back to making informed decisions.

Its amazing to me that some "unnamed source" 26 years ago can make these types of allegations and idiots believe it. An interview with rachel maddow was edited to make it look like he wanted to repeal the civil rights act and THAT was proven to be a fraud. The establishment doesn't want Rand Paul in office because he stands for the same constitutional grounds as his father. They both demand accountability from the Federal Reserve and an audit of US gold reserves.
