mat collins, why do folks complain about ALL your wonderous news stories?
i'm a baystater. don't blame me, i'm from masschusetts and if i indeed do
opine that it does look like a conflict of interest to northern me, i can be
understood not to be a voter. tis cut and dried. the dude is running for
office and if his people must count all the votes over and over again...

[MRoCkEd]

Seems like a reasonable request to me.
Why is the Grayson campaign so upset at the idea? Do they have some dirty tricks to play?

[Kevin_Kennedy]

It's a very reasonable request, but Grayson's campaign is in panic mode and is going to lash out at the slightest provocation. Not unexpected really.

"It is an insult to the judgment of Kentuckians that Mr. Paul suggest Secretary Grayson stop doing the job that they elected him to do," Fugate said.

WELL THEN DROP OUT OF THIS ELECTION AND DO THE JOB YOU WERE ALREADY ELECTED TO DO!!!! ROFLMIRONICASSOFF!!

"It is an insult to the judgment of Kentuckians that Mr. Paul suggest Secretary Grayson stop doing the job that they elected him to do," Fugate said. "Secretary Grayson is a national leader in elections reform who has received broad, bipartisan support for his commonsense ideas that make our elections more secure, more accessible, and more honest. This political request is absurd and blatantly self-serving."

Step 1:
Make false accusation on behalf of others intelligence.

Step 2:
Gloat about your employer and use words like (national leader, reform, broad, bipartisan, secure).

Step 3:
Make crazy claims about absurdness of legit 'conflict of interest' claims.

Do they have a fucking template for this garbage? Puke!!!

This truly is a conflict of interest is it not? Even if he did recuse himself I don't think it would matter though. He would still be buddy buddy with all his peeps down at the Suck off State.

I like this move on Rand's part.

[sofia]

oh Rand...you are such a "conspiracy theorist"...:D

[amisspelledword]

i think it was probably also a conflict of interest for trey to draft a will for a guy that wanted to leave money to him as part of the will

but what do i know

[Matt Collins]

Duh... of course they do :(

can we again ASK how can a guy who is RUNNING be the guy who
referees the verrrrrrrrry ballots his wonderous name is ON???

[ItsTime]

How is it not conflict of interest?


Rands campaign is falling apart?

[Aratus]

grayson's campaign is at a crossroads.
if he bows out, rand's camapign gets to
take on 'kentuck' bill in full. rand is ahead!

[JamesButabi]

Desperate attempt from a campaign falling apart? What election has this guy been following?

[Aratus]

lets ask once again WHY trey grayson has not said
that since he is a candidate, he ain't counting ALL
the ballots pertaining to the race he is actively in!!!
if we soon see trey grayson stepping out of the race
and perhaps senator jim bunning plunging back into
the race, and were trey grayson to count the ballots
by hand personally, there would be LESS of a conflict
of interest! maybe kentucky law thinks this is okay, but
i feel rand paul has to ask trey grayson this question!!!
