Rand Paul defies logic

The Herald-Leader has this must-read story:
Despite videos, Rand Paul says he doesn't support higher Medicare deductibles

LOUISVILLE — Republican U.S. Senate nominee Rand Paul claims in a new TV ad he does not support higher deductibles for Medicare and that his Democratic rival, Jack Conway, is "deliberately distorting" his views on the issue.

But Conway has released a video that shows Paul suggesting repeatedly there should be a $2,000 deductible for Medicare patients.

So to reiterate, Rand Paul has repeatedly said on video that he supports a $2000 Medicare deductible. Now he says he doesn't support that.

Does Rand Paul really expect us to believe him?
