Rand Attacks Conway

Rand Paul is aggressively pressing ahead with issues other than that which caused him so much embarrassment for the last 48 hours, the Issue That Must Not Be Named. He is pounding Jack Conway on a number of issues including one we've not seen in a few months: card check. Here's his release:

Jack Conway is interested in distorting Rand Paul's positions on settled law from the 1960's. If you're wondering why that is, it's because he doesn't want to talk about his views on the issues being debated in Congress in 2010, such as:
  • Repealing Obamacare: Nearly 2/3 of Kentuckians want to see the Obama/Pelosi health care scheme repealed. 15 other Attorneys general have stood up for their state and sued to end the federal mandate on their citizens. But not Jack Conway. He's standing side by side with the liberal Washington DC establishment.
  • Opposing Card Check Forced Unionism: Nearly 80% of American oppose forced unionism and support the secret ballot. The union boss power grab known as card check eliminates the secret ballot and puts more workers under union boss control. Jack Conway stands with his Big Labor masters who fund his and national democrat campaigns.
  • Cap and Trade: This dangerous bill would raise costs for Kentuckians, raise taxes -- and could well single-handedly destroy Kentucky Coal. Jack Conway supports Cap and Trade, something he'd rather the taxpayers and coal producers of Kentucky not hear about.

Finally, since Jack is so fond of musing about positions, perhaps he'd like to finally take one on a few other pressing issues, like:
  1. Does he support the Obama/Pelosi move to regulate and ban semiautomatic weapons and abridge the 2nd amendment rights of Kentuckians?
  2. Does he support or oppose Arizona's new immigration laws?
The Arizona immigration law makes for a fascinating debate, but I'm not sure what it has to do with a U.S. Senate race in Kentucky. It's an Arizona statute. Of course, if the federal government defended our national border, states like Arizona wouldn't have to pick up the slack.
