Rand Paul Rallies Support for Jim Bunning
By David Weigel 3/2/10 1:35 PM


U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul is holding a 3 p.m. rally in Lexington, Ky. to support Sen. Jim Bunning’s (R-Ky.) block on extending unemployment and health insurance.

“Jim Bunning is being unfairly attacked for saying we should spend money already set aside for benefits rather than borrowing more,” says Paul in a press release. “He deserves our support and he is going to get it.”

I called the campaign of Paul’s rival, Trey Grayson, and will update when I find out what, if anything, he is doing in reaction to Bunning.

1. I think you'd have to be a winger to understand.

Bunning is getting creamed and the fringe is gathering his defense. I just had a winger say that it's the dems fault that this is going on.....pass the buck. I told him that won't work, and the pubs are hating him too for making the people mad.

2. I'm guessing that only democrats in KY are unemployed n/t

9. So now will the Paul supporters on DU realize how wrong they are?

Ron Paul and his son Rand are just more extreme forms of the shitbag repukes that are currently blocking any progress. Just because the Pauls oppose the war in Iraq doesn't make them right on ANY other issues...

10. Teabaggers need to run Bunning as their presidential cand. in 2012

With possibly Palin as VP. Or vice-versa. Now, that's a ticket!!

11. Phew, I thought at first I read "Ru Paul..."

I would have been very disappointed.

13. Not.Surprising.

I imagine the son is like the father. Get beyond RP's sound bytes and it ain't pretty.

14. Bunning also voted to ram through defence spending and tax cuts for the rich by reconciliation

back under Bushie, so I guess that means that Ayn Rand, Jr. isn't as libertarian as he claims to be.

15. Their support will last only as long as their unemployment insurance...

once it runs out, because of asshole bunning, the support he now enjoys will vanish like a fart in the wind.

16. When I first saw this thread title, I thought it said, "Bund rally for Bunning".

Guess I wasn't too far off, huh?
