In yet another example of Rand Paul’s contradictory
behavior, it has been revealed by Ben Swann that the Kentucky Senator may very
well have attempted to kill the campaign of a “Liberty Democrat” for U.S.
Senate in Maine.
At the very least, Paul was
painfully ignorant of both the positions of the candidate he endorsed as well
as the positions of the one he did not.
Given the track record of Paul,
however, it is much more likely that he was fully aware that Republican
incumbent Susan Collins was a supporter of NSA spying and domestic wiretapping, the PATRIOT ACT, as
well as a tacit supporter of torture.
That being said, before taking the
stage to endorse Collins, Paul spoke to the Portland Herald Press where he
stated “I whole-heartedly endorse Senator Collins for re-election. I think
she is doing a great job for Maine and for the country.” However, when Paul
was forced to address Collins’ stance on the NSA scandal, he responded by
stating “I don’t really know, exactly, what her position is on the NSA;
you’d have to ask her about that.”
