Dr. Rand Paul, solid conservative and Right-to-Lifer

BOWLING GREEN, KY: Rand Paul substantially leads in the Kentucky race for the seat vacated by the distinguished Senator Jim Bunning. A survey released today by Survey USA has him in the lead by 16 points.

The NIP is saddened to lose such a dependable voice for conservatism and truth as Jim Bunning. This writer spent an hour with Senator Bunning in March and found him having an amazing command of facts and possessing unimpeachable integrity.

The race to fill his Senate seat is a closely watched race as there is a substantial difference between Rand Paul and Trey Grayson.

Rand Paul, son of Texas Republican Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul. He has the endorsement of the Tea Party movement as well as Jim Demint and Jim Bunning. Jim Bunning was rated the 2nd most conservative Senator next to Jim Demint, and both endorsements are important.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has endorsed Trey Grayson. McConnell was instrumental in pressuring Jim Bunning to retire, and it should be no surprise that he has eschewed Rand Paul as “too conservative” for his taste. Kentuckians should remember that come time for McConnell’s reelection and send him packing.

Dr. James Dobson

Trey Grayson’s campaign, seeking Dr. James Dobson’s endorsement, lied to Dr. Dobson, painting Rand Paul as an abortion advocate. For that Grayson gets the attention of the NIP. We call on Kentuckians to reject Grayson’s bid. Don’t we have enough liars in Washingon already?
