Jack Conway, the Kentucky's Attorney General and the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, not only delivers a devastating critique of Rand Paul, but makes the case for his own candidacy, saying that unlike Paul, he's not interested in being "the darling of the tea party" -- he's "interested in standing up for the people of Kentucky."
The interview, which aired Friday afternoon on CNN, is worth every minute:
Conway took issue with Rand Paul's position on whether racial discrimination should be legal in businesses like public restaurants, calling Paul's interview on The Rachel Maddow Show twenty of the most painful minutes he'd ever seen on television. He also rejected Paul's opposition to the Americans with Disabilities Act, calling it "callous" and questioning why Paul would support discrimination against disabled veterans.
Conway repeatedly hammered Paul for consistently siding with big business against the interests of ordinary people. Conway singled out Paul's defense of BP, saying he disagreed with Paul's assertion that it was "un-American" for President Obama to criticize BP and saying that it was crucial to hold companies like BP accountable when they cause great damage.
If you have any doubt that we can win this campaign, you've got to watch this video. Conway was outstanding. He kicked ass and took no prisoners -- and he did it while inspiring confidence.
After you're done watching it, please step up and help him out. If Jack Conway can make his case to the people of Kentucky, he's gonna' win this thing. And we're not just going to have a Democrat representing Kentucky in the U.S. Senate, we're going to have a good one.
