Paul's prescriptions are wrong for Kentucky

Deirdre Murphy, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee National Press Secretary, released the following statement on last night's Kentucky Senate debate:

Kentuckians saw tonight why Attorney General Jack Conway is the only candidate in the race who can be trusted to look out for their interests in Washington. Conway clearly laid out his positive plan for growing the Kentucky economy, getting Kentuckians back to work, and standing up for Kentucky values. Conway showed why he can be counted on to protect Social Security and Medicare for Kentucky senior citizens, safety protections for Kentucky coal miners, programs and benefits for Kentucky veterans, and Pell Grants and Stafford Loans for Kentucky’s future generations.

Conway’s opponent Rand Paul demonstrated once and for all that he doesn’t understand Kentucky and can’t be trusted to represent Kentuckians. Paul reiterated his support for a $2,000 Medicare deductible for Kentucky’s senior citizens, his support for a massive 23% national sales tax on nearly everything Kentuckians buy, and his support for eliminating the Department of Education. The more Kentuckians hear from Rand Paul, the more they realize Rand Paul’s reckless policy prescriptions are wrong for Kentucky.
