While the usual liberal weenies get the vapors, fact is Jack Conway's ad on Rand Paul's religious past is accurate.
(http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/10/aqua_buddha_lady_conway_ad_is.html)

The woman, who again asked for anonymity because she's a clinical psychologist who works with former members of the military, including Tea Partyers, said she was surprised that Paul is still refusing to acknowlege his past views and the college antics they spawned.

"My whole point in sharing (the episode) was that Randy used to be a different person with different views that have radically changed, and he's not acknowledging that," she told me. "That is why I shared it in the first place."

She added that his college years and views should raise questions "as to how genuine he is about his beliefs now. I have a hard time seeing how someone who espouses beliefs that he used to would turn around and become a conservative Christian."

She confirmed the ad's accuracy, and wondered aloud why Paul doesn't just admit what occured and move on.

(snip)
Rand Paul is trying to sell the voters of Kentucky an image of himself that doesn't live up to his history. Liberals get the vapors anytime a Democrat throws a punch, demanding that religion be ceded exclusively to the GOP.

This race is closing, even Rasmussen sees serious tightening, and in a tough year, we can pull out a victory in crimson red Kentucky. Yet here we are wasting time and energy defending Jack Conway from liberals getting the vapors over a campaign ad that is factually true. There has probably been more liberal ink spilled on this single ad, than in all the falsehoods in Karl Rove's bullshit ads.

1. Good for Conway. It's unusual to see a Democrat fight "dirty"

Even though it happens to us all of the time.

8. I don't care. Doesn't impact anyone I know but if it helps a fundy stay home, cool.

Randroid is a clown and should be exposed as such. If Jack's focus groups were responsive in a net beneficial way then rock the fuck on.

9. To me the moral of the story is that Randy used to like to push women around.

Do Kentucky women admire that sort of thing? Is that more of the new Republicanism?
