Rand Paul Debate Closing Statement: "I Will Not Be Shaking His Hand Tonight" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, October 17, 2010, 6:13 PM
“I will not be associated with a man who attacks my religion.”
Conservative Rand Paul and Democrat Jack Conway debated tonight in Kentucky. At one point Conway tried to assure the crowd that he was “not a typical democrat.” Yeah right. That won’t work this year. We just went through two years where democrats voted lockstep to ram through Obama’s radical agenda. We won’t be fooled again, Jack.
During closing comments Rand Paul told the audience that he would not shake Conway’s hand after his attacks on his family, his religion and his faith. Rand Paul is a man of principle, after all.
“We will try to keep the debate on a higher tone. I hope he will leave my church, my family and my religion out of it.”
Conway released a despicable ad that attacked Rand Paul’s Christion beliefs this week. Paul is a member of The Presbyterian Church of Bowling Green, where his wife Kelley is a deacon.

Paul – you are my hero. I wish more GOP candidates had the cajojes to stand up for their faith when attacked the way you did.
You deserve a money-bomb for that. Good luck beating this big fat phoney demon-rat.
jim m commented:
I’m no Paulian fan club member, but I do wish that more Republicans would wake up and realize that their opposition does not believe in the same morality, have the same love for this country and liberty, and if given a chance would have all conservatives locked up as criminals.
We shouldn’t be shaking hands with those who stand opposed to democracy and freedom.
Jennifer commented:
The democrats are NOT to be trusted. Notice how Manchin shot a hole into the Cap-n-trade bill, yeah right Manchin. If given the chance to go to D.C., I believe both Conway AND Manchin will vote in lockstep with Obama. They, like Obama, will lie.
a former democrat commented:
This is the type of person I want in Congress.
I am a former democrat, now an Independent, but I am an American first! This man was the first republican I had ever in my life donate to.
Go Rand Paul!!!
regularguy commented:
Gone are the days where the Democrats were loyal opposition, appreciated decorum and decency, and debated on the merits. They’re personal, vindictive, vicious and petty. I pray Republicans and conservatives wake up to reality that they cannot play nice with these vermin. It’s good to see more conservatives slapping dems around as they richly deserve.
Larkin commented:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….
When politicians purposely lie to constituents to get elected, then act in opposition to those promises, they should be indicted for fraud…
…and or horse-whipped, then tarred and feathered.
The same goes for a complicit media.
Sickofobama commented:
Another despicable Democrat.
I’m sick of these people.
They gotta go.
Conservative Ken commented:
Watching a man stand on principle like this sends chills up my spine.
big L commented:
All this lying and crazy atttack ads by the donk-lefties says to me like a little voice thatwither these are committed ideologues or to “follow the money” . I really can’t say I have seen the ideologue behavior. They are just too stupid. Dumbest group, I have ever seen in congress or any business.
Jim Rose commented:
Wow.
Session member commented:
Making fun of the religious beliefs of Presbyterians? Talk about desperate. Oh yes lying.
RR Greengrass commented:
I think the criticism of Democrat unity is laughable. Indeed it is the Republicans who have stood rigid against the policies our country needs to escape the horrible pit of woes the last president left us all with. Does nobody have any sense of history? Remember the guys you voted for in 2000 and 2004? How can you say the new president’s spending is responsible for the current deficits, and not his predecessor’s greedy tax breaks and self-serving wars? No, it’s not Obama who messed up — it is YOU GUYS. But since you can’t admit being any part of the problem, you blame, blame, blame. What a crock of delusion and buck passing you engage in, and the only thing in the balance is your country’s future.
dnb commented:
Greengrass, what are you smoking? Please note the discernible bad change began with the Democrats take over of Congress, and the Freddie and Fannie Mac fiascos of Messrs. Frank and Dodd. (P.S. Where are you from, or do you just choose to not be a part of this country? i.e., “your country’s future.”

RR Greengrass,
Project much?
Good grief! Listen to yourself.
BUSH! BUUSH! BUUUUUUSH!
BWAACK! You sound just like Obama.
LMBO at YOU!
Patrick J. Greene commented:
Here in Kentucky everyone I speak to is voting for Rand Paul. I predict he wins against the lying Clintonite Conway by over 10 points. Does anyone need a ride to the polls on November 2nd?
Paul B. commented:
Wow, that was classy. Conway must have been cringing. The Crats are sinking to desperate new levels this season – levels I didn’t think were possible. May they all be flushed out.
John Taylor commented:
That the Democrats continue to bring up Bush and the Wars in Iraq and Afgh. shows how little their ideas are in moving forward. The fact the Repubs unite in opposition is evidence of standing on principle. There are Democrats that agree with the United Republican Front, why is that?
Pop commented:
This is the first time I have ever been moved to comment. dnd, Chisum, thank you.
Greengrass, I have noticed a pattern and it seems to be far too uniform to be an accident. So without pointing out the obvious general misrepresentation that have become the hallmark of the Dems, I would like to point something out. Its not working. The only ones who buy this crap is yourselves. Each time you chose to regurgitate these statements, it only gives me more reason to unearth the deceitful nature of your cause. If your intent were noble, I believe your tactics would be noble. Clearly they are not.
Steve M. commented:
Wahhh! Wahhh! Democrwat hurt my feewings! Wahhh! Wahhh!
You people are the biggest crybabies. You can level as many low blows as you want, but we land one punch and you instantly want Mommy to kiss the boo-boo.
Jerry C commented:
@RR Greengrass #14
1. Read #15.
2. Research the Glass-Steagall Banking Act of 1933 that was enacted by Congress to PREVENT another Great Depression.
3. Research the DEMOCRACTICALLY-controlled Congress in 1999 who repealed it.
4. Try to put #2 & #3 together.
P.S. You may want to research why NObama continues to appoint Goldman Sachs ex-employees to the Federal Reserve.

We just abhore mental midgets that are sycophants.
look it up. Obama voted FOR the Bush stimulus that I did not want. Then signed off on his own. The dictator in training pants owns it all.

Putz, politics is a bloodsport, bring it on chump. The group of folks here are really quite astute at history and politics. powder is dry.
Alex commented:
Seems like the most obvious solution to this quandary is to conclude that IT SHOULDN’T MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN OR NOT TO ATTAIN PUBLIC OFFICE. Am I the first one to consider this revolutionary notion?
