Trey Grayson has received a very powerful endorsement from Rick Santorum, pro-life former Senator from Pennsylvania. I personally most remember Rick Santorum for his famous exchange with Senator Barbara Boxer regarding the right to life. Please read that here. His endorsement of Trey Grayson is below.
Louisville, Kentucky – Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum announced today that he is endorsing Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate. Santorum is in Kentucky to speak at the 40th anniversary dinner for Kentucky Right to Life.
"Trey Grayson is the only 100% pro-life candidate in this race. I’ve looked at the records and past statements of both candidates on the issue of protecting life, and I’m impressed with Grayson’s conviction and sincerity,” said Santorum.
He continued, “And on other issues, too, Trey Grayson has a solidly conservative record. As Secretary of State he has cut his budget by 15%. That’s the kind of fiscal conservatism we need in Washington. Trey has a record, not just rhetoric on fiscal responsibility.”
Grayson commented, “It means a lot to me that Senator Santorum would endorse my campaign. I’m thrilled to have his support. If I’m elected I will be a conservative voice for Kentucky whose views match our state and whose principles don’t change for the sake of political expediency.”
Santorum will appear on the Terry Meiners Show and The Pulse of Lexington with Leland Conway today to discuss Grayson’s candidacy and his endorsement.
Rand Paul has recently claimed to be pro-life, but in contrast to Trey Grayson, he has a long record of advocating pro-choice positions.
He’s a rino.
Coming from the man who just got done vowing to spam every thread on this subject with Adam Kokesh crap.
You've been very disingenuous in attacking Rand Paul on abortion. There are many here on this very site who think abortion is a states issue. Murder too, is a states issue today. Your positions basically advocates keeping Roe. vs. Wade around and thus, abortion legal in all 50 states. Call me crazy, but abortion legal in 35 states sounds like an improvement over all fifty.
Damn right I did, and I will.
I also have a 7 year posting history here that removes any doubt that I might be a troll. You, on the other hand... don’t.
If you don’t like the “Adam Kokesh crap”, take it up with your stalking horse candidate. He chose to endorse and support the Code Pinko, not me.
So is Rand. I’m glad I don’t have to make that decision.
Yeah, we got enough problems to handle in Texas.
Every Rand Paul thread I see, I’ll do everything I can to turn into a thread about Adam Kokesh. Every one.
Seeing as the typical Kentuckian will respond with "Adam who?" and simply give you a strange look, good luck with that. Now if, on the other hand, you wanted to candidate stalk Rick Santorum and turn every thread about him, and I do mean every one, into Arlen Specter, I do suspect most people would understand your point. But right now you look like a strange and obsessed little man with way too much time on your hands and who takes himself way too seriously.
I think that's my queue to jump in here. I have a nine-year posting history on FR. And I have helped organize several statewide FR meetings before. And I am proud to be voting for Dr. Rand Paul for U.S. Senate. 90 out of 100 Kentuckians won't know who Kokesh is, and we are the ones voting in this race. Are you in Kentucky? Why don't you even post what state you are in, on your profile page?
Here's how it works, Spam Monkey. When they ask "who?", we tell them. That's the entire point. If you don't think the typical Kentuckian will take notice of their would-be Senator's support and endorsement of a Code Pink activist and 9/11 truther, well... good luck with that.
you look like a...
When I have the slightest interest in what you imagine I might look like, I'll be sure to let you know.
Right... because you need a special queue to get involved in a conversation about someone named "Paul".
90 out of 100 Kentuckians won't know who Kokesh is, and we are the ones voting in this race.
Again, for those of you in Rio Linda, that's the point. Paulestinians throw that fact around like a taunt, impervious to the fact that if 90% of Kentucky conservatives knew their would-be Senator was backing a leftist 9/11 truther, they'd have grave reservations about pulling the lever for him. That's why we're here spreading the word.
BTW, it shouldn't escape anyone's attention that you clearly do know who Adam Kokesh is, and have no problem whatsoever with your chosen candidate's support for him.
Are you in Kentucky?
Are you in Texas? Because your handle is clearly meddling in local Texas politics.
Why don't you even post what state you are in, on your profile page?
Because my job moves me around quite a bit and I thought it looked suspicious changing my state so frequently. Any other personal questions you'd like to ask, or are ready to mind your own damn business and stick to the topic?
No, I am in Kentucky, if you could learn to read. And I have been a fan of Dr. Ron Paul for years, which has nothing to do with a particular state. So continue with your name-calling; I don't give a damn.
Any other personal questions you'd like to ask, or are ready to mind your own damn business and stick to the topic?
I never asked any personal questions; I simply thought it was ironic that someone ripping on the top candidate for my U.S. Senate seat doesn't even list his own state. And since you claim you want to stick to the topic, it was about Rick Santorum endorsing Grayson, not about your lunacy per an irrelevant Adam Kokesh.
Whether you love or hate Adam Kokesh, you gotta be pretty far off your rocker to think that he's some imminent threat to American national security to the point that you'd spend as much time as he does flaming people about the guy. Kokesh is a nobody - a minor political agitator making a quixotic bid for political office in a distant state. The complete absence of perspective it takes to become that obsessed with him is pretty much indicative of somebody who lost their connection with reality many years ago.
You have a very good point. There are enough elections to worry about here in my state, so I could care less about a minor candidate in a state thousands of miles away. One has to pick his battles. But you may be spot-on per the obsessive-compulsive nature of said individual.
You and I both know that if Rand Paul ran on his actual platform in this race he’d be lucky make 10% in the polls or the vote come May 18. So, he’s doing well - but by portraying himself as being something he is not.
And Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright were irrelevent to Barack Obama, too, right?
Here's a taste of what's to come:
No, you see, you asked me if I lived in Kentucky... suggesting I had no business commenting on a Kentucky election if I wasn't from there.
I was turning it around on you. I asked the question knowing full well you weren't in Texas, even though you were meddling in Texas politics by supporting a Texas Congressman (the good and wise Dr. Ron Paul, peace be upon him).
You see, I have as much right to involve myself in Kentucky Senatorial elections as you have to involve yourself in Texas Congressional elections. Ergo, your question regarding my residency was pointless, and moreover, it was hypocritical of you to even ask it.
Get it now? Fantastic. Have a super day.
Yes I asked you if you were in Kentucky, not having a clue as to where you were. I didn’t suggest anything. Quite the contrary, I was waiting to hear you confirm that you were in fact in Kentucky, since your own words confirm on FR that you want to hijack any thread about our future U.S. Senator. By contrast, I have never made a post on any thread ever about a Texas election. Ergo, your ignorance and hypocrisy continues. Got it? Wonderful.
Right. You were just doing a survey, of course.
...since your own words confirm on FR that you want to hijack any thread about our future U.S. Senator.
That's correct. Every thread about your stalking horse, Alex Jones Show, antiwar.com, Adam Kokesh backing, Satanic-racist hiring candidate, I'm going to be there, beating the drum against him. And I won't be alone.
By contrast, I have never made a post on any thread ever about a Texas election.
Really? You've never endorsed the good and wise Dr. Ron Paul (peace be upon him) for re-election to Congress, RonPaulLives? Really? Like, seriously really? Never ever?
