Yesterday Rand Paul released an attack on Trey Grayson. What sucks for Rand & David Adams, his campaign manager, is that they’re using footage of Grayson that they don’t have the legal rights to use. It’s video that I helped get produced – along with about 20 other organizations – discussing the importance of and history of the presidential inauguration.
Now I understand why David was canned by the Bluegrass Institute and why he begged the Grayson Camp to hire him– he pulls amateur moves like this that could end up in court, potentially costing thousands. Related note: Friends of Coal forced the Paul Camp to stop using their logo illegally.
All this brings up an interesting memory or two. It’s surprising to me that David would be so willing to attack Trey Grayson. When he was axed from BIPPS, he called me saying that he was trying to get a job with Trey’s campaign and asked for assistance on that front. When Rand Paul’s name came up in our discussion, he told me there’s no way he could support him because he was terrible on national security issues. He was sincere and assured me there was no way his opinion could change, cited Gitmo, yadda yadda. I agreed to put in a good word but never got the opportunity. Within two weeks he was Paul’s campaign manager.

Bitterly lying? Hardly. Multiple people in Frankfort can back me up – including folks close to Grayson.
Naturally, their argument about timing makes no sense.

Am I supposed to believe Grayson secured the rights to use the video of Rand Paul speaking in 2008?

I don’t know, nor do I care, because I wasn’t involved in the creation of that video. Also don’t know if it’s privately owned.

If you created the Grayson I love Obama video you really need to learn how to keep a camera still, ha! Not to mention the quality is terrible.
I think you need to step back and acknowledge the humor in seeing the Paul campaign give Team Trey a taste of their own medicine!

Loving Barack Obama and pledging to work with the President of the United States when you’re a prominent Republican Secretary of State are hardly similar.
I didn’t film the video.

Its funny to me how you expose your obvious bias towards Grayson and stroke your ego at the same time with your comments on how David Adams asked you to help him get a job with Trey because of your supposed relationship with him.
How many other liberal/progresso friends does Trey have?
and a preemptive fyi just because I have a out of state .edu ip doesn’t mean I am not from Kentucky

Grayson is a joke and all it took was a first time candidate in his own party to primary him and send his pear-shaped ass home!
This clearly shows the weakness of the candidates the dems ran against him in his previous elections.

Where did I indicate Adams asked for help because of my relationship with Trey?
Expose my bias toward Grayson? Apparently people have to be kicked in the face to realize I support Jack Conway.
I’d imagine that anybody who wishes to represent the Commonwealth of Kentucky – a state consisting of far more Democrats than Republicans – would have a solid mix of friends from all walks of life and from various political worlds.

Why?
Because you know have read the Rasmussen polls which show Rand is a stronger opponent against Conway than Grayson would be.
You have seen the momentum of his campaign through all the polls and fund raising numbers.
You know Conway only chance for a win is against Trey Grayson.
If you dont then you sir should be kicked in the face.

The real joke is RAND THE KLAN. He has no businesss running for Senate because he is a complete idiot and a racist. David Adams is not even liked by Jessamine republicans. He will be reduced to a nobody after May18th. People of Ky will not fall for their lies! GO TEAM TREY!!!!
