U. S. Chamber of Commerce Endorses Paul
KENTUCKY...
Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul has picked up an endorsement from the nation's largest business group, which began airing attack ads against his Democratic opponent accusing him of backing Medicare cuts.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce commercial that went on the air Wednesday across the state never mentions Paul's name, but says Jack Conway supports Medicare cuts that would affect 113,000 Kentucky seniors.
John Collins, a spokesman for the Conway campaign, says instead of supporting Paul, the chamber should renounce him for his libertarian-leaning stances on federal regulations such as the Americans With Disabilities Act and nonviolent crimes.
During a news conference in his hometown of Bowling Green, Paul announced the endorsement and voiced his support for extending Bush-era tax cuts even without related spending cuts.
