Pro-Mitch McConnell Ad Links Him to Rand Paul

Politico reports:
A conservative outside group plans to launch a heavy-duty ad campaign defending Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s credentials as a foe of the Affordable Care Act and telling voters that he and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are “working together to stop Obamacare,” POLITICO has learned.
The nonprofit Kentucky Opportunity Coalition will spend $382,000 over the next week on TV ads across the Bluegrass State, tying McConnell to his conservative junior colleague and blasting the national health care overhaul backed by Democrats.



Note well: The ad doesn't call for the end of government involvement in healthcare but rather for a new plan, "“McConnell and Paul say: Start over, repeal this bad law and cut costs, not choice."

I wonder if Rand will issue a statement distancing himself from the ad and its non-libertarian implication that Congress should central plan the healthcare sector in some way.

  1. I'm Rand Paul, and I approve this message.
