After Courier-Journal columnist Joe Gerth questioned whether Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul's libertarian-leaning views would be a "tough sell" to socially conservative Republicans, the Paul campaign issued the following response:
"This morning, columnist Joe Gerth said Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul needed to reconcile his positions on social issues with Kentucky voters."
"Reconciling Rand's positions with Kentucky voters is easy. Kentucky is a socially conservative state which mostly upholds Christian values. If we protect states' rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, then we protect Kentucky values from Californians or Vermonters or out-of-control Congressional Democrats and President Obama. Kentucky voters want and deserve to have their rights protected by Rand Paul's strict constructionist understanding of the United States Constitution."
