Paul tells hometown crowd he’s not the man the media portrayed

Dressed in doctor scrubs, senatorial candidate Rand Paul sought to ditch the image of politician Tuesday in his first campaign appearance since a round of interviews in which he dismayed fellow Republicans by discussing his views on racial segregation.

...

“I think they’ve used it as an issue to try to make me into something that I’m not,” the Kentucky doctor told a friendly hometown audience at a Bowling Green civic club. “I was raised in a family that said that you judge people the same way Martin Luther King said, you judge people by their character not by the color of their skin.”

...

Paul accused his Democratic opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, of starting the controversy. He did so, Paul said, by telling reporters that that Paul wants to repeal the Civil Rights Act.

“It’s never been my position, and it’s not my position,” Paul said. “That’s the bad thing about politics, not only do you have to run to defend your position, you’ve got to defend the position they make up for you, and that makes it hard.

he's even dumber than that.

Rand Paul would prefer not to be judged at all.

He must have been corrupted by all those Medicare payments, don'tcha know.

anyone based on race, gender, sexual orientation?? or that the americans with disabilities act is bad for business?? because that's what you said.

His answers proved he is fucking clueless. How is that a "portrayal"? :eyes:

but then again, he also reminds me of David Duke. Something around the eyes...

:crazy::eyes::puke:

for the rest of the campaign. Lame.

don't be a politician. Say what you really believe. Embrace your beliefs and be proud. scream from the rooftops. "Negro don't come round here no more." just think how good that will feel.

He showed his true colors and nothing is going to change that.

now quit blaming the media.

What a friggin whiner!

He portrays himself as an idiot...well, that's a given, since he is an idiot...;)

He really is an idiot.
