Paul Refused to Take Concession Call

After winning Kentucky's Republican Senate primary last night, Rand Paul (R) refused to take the call of congratulations from opponent Trey Grayson (R), according to Grayson's campaign manager, WCPO-TV reports.

Interestingly, a GOP "unity rally" is scheduled for Saturday which both men are supposed to attend.

2. LOL.

21. this one makes his old man look sane

[sharp_stick]

3. Class through and through

4. A small and petty person he shows to be..n/t

[JBoy]

5. What a douche!

[Sanity Claws]

6. His rudeness will show up again later

in front of the general population. It will cost him. Keep it up, Rand!

[rocktivity]

7. I would vote against him for that alone.

Grayson refusing to MAKE the call would be classless, but somewhat understandable. Refusing the TAKE the call defies description, and reveals far more about Paul's character than any of his campaign positions.

8. Well, apparently Paul's campaign manager said he was unable to take the call.

Paul's campaign manager, David Adams, tells 9 News, "Paul did not refuse Grayson's call. He was in transit and could not take the call."

Adams went on to say, "This sounds like a made up problem." http://www.kypost.com/content/wcposhared/story/Campaign-Manager-Rand-Paul-Refused-Graysons-Call/4ySo1O6X002sD-bHqhyNyQ.cspx

Nice spin there Adams.

10. "He was in transit and could not take the call"

Someone should let Paul know about this nifty little invention called a 'cell phone'.

:eyes:

[Jennicut]

11. Yeah, kind of slipped his mind there.

Total bs.

[Hippo_Tron]

28. He probably doesn't use them since they weren't around in the Gilded Age

[Arkansas Granny]

9. There's nothing that matches the class or a sore winner.

[dumpdabaggers]

12. Instead of worshipping the guy, when is the media going to pin him on his absurd positions?

NT?

[SpartanDem]

14. and do actual reporting?

[emulatorloo]

17. It is sickening, isn't it?

[otohara]

13. Paul Jr. Creeps Me Out

when he said last night the teabaggers are huge and they were going to take back their government...spine chilling

[Arkana]

15. If I were Grayson I'd "forget" to show up.

16. Rand Paul marks the end of the modern GOP and the beginning of

a new political movement hopefully headed nowhere. Mainstream Republicans have no where to go and it is their own fault. Mainstream GOP's lies and willingness to say anything to win created the TeaParty baggers who were not swift enough to see that the mainstream GOP was just playing a game to win power and didn't really mean all that ugliness they spewed forth at election time and in Congress. Now mainstream Republicans are stuck with these "true believers" on the far right who, as represented by Rand Paul, appear to be incoherent followers of emotion driven nonsense who have no use for those "unpatriotic" mainstream Republicans.

18. His assholiness being framed by what? nt

[Ter]

19. The Pauls hate neo-cons more than we do

Hey, I give him points for not being a phony.

[thelordofhell]

20. Why should he?

Rand Paul is a libertarian, not a republican. So why should he take a republican call?

[CreekDog]

22. because it was his opponent in the Republican primary which he ran in

and who decided only people with the same political positions offer each other or accept each other's concessions?

[Jennicut]

23. He ran as a Rethug. He did not run as a Libertarian candidate.

[baldguy]

24. Forget politics. We can't allow people like this to take over our govt.

If we do, it will no longer be *OUR* govt.

[AtomicKitten]

25. That kind of rudeness will put the kibosh on their planned unity event. nt

26. Palin/Paul 2012

Mark it down.

There will be no minimum electoral vote winner (requires 270 for presidency). The winner (the President) is thus chosen by the House of Representatives.

The 2012 election winner will be Hillary Clinton, chosen by the House of Representatives.
