The Deaf and Blind GOP

Tuesday 18 May 2010 - Filed under Government + Rand Paul

Dan Balz via The Washinton Post:

In Kentucky, Republicans waited to see whether Rand Paul — an ophthalmologist, son of Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) and favorite of the tea party movement — could carry his outsider’s campaign against Trey Grayson, the secretary of state.

Paul had a strong lead in polls. On Monday, Grayson showed the frustration of a candidate who might have thought he would have a relatively easy path to victory, with the endorsements of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and much of his state’s GOP leaders. He said that Fox News Channel continually promoted his opponent and indirectly suggested that the network had more power within the party than the establishment itself. (Emphasis mine)

It couldn’t be that voters have tired of the hypocrisy of the Conservatard GOP establishment and the Washington DC culture of Big Government.  It must be that Fox News is against them.
