Conway responds to Paul's "Un-American" Claim

Seems like Rand Paul served up this issue to Conway on a silver platter. We all know the story here, Paul desperate to change the subject from his remarks favoring discrimination allowed by businesses on any basis - including race, sex, sexual orientation, disability - they see fit.

Anyways he took a swing at President Obama and his response to the BP oil disaster, claiming it was Un-American for him to criticize and place blame for what Paul believed was an accident.

*************

Rand Paul apparently has a deeply held conviction that corporations should be allowed to do what they see fit without oversight or accountability. He even goes so far as to say that that criticizing corporations when they hurt taxpayers and working families - as in the case of the massive BP oil disaster - is 'un-American.'

As Attorney General, I've seen how corporations can take advantage of consumers - whether it's oil companies that gouge Kentucky customers after a series of storms or pharmaceutical companies that commit Medicaid fraud. I have a deeply held conviction that we need a senator who will hold companies accountable. We have enough senators in Washington who are looking out for what's best for corporations. My sole focus will be looking out for Kentucky's taxpayers and families.
