Paul Launches First Ad

Ophthalmologist Rand Paul (R) is the first candidate in KY to launch TV ads, debuting a 30-second spot focused on trying terrorist suspects on U.S. soil.

"I think prisoners of war, enemy combatants and terrorists captured on the battlefield should be tried in military court and not brought to the U.S.," Paul says in his ad. "I do not believe they should be tried in civilian courts."

A voiceover promises "conservative leadership for a safer America."

None of Paul's opponents, including primary challenger/Sec/State Trey Grayson (R), AG Jack Conway (D) and LG Daniel Mongiardo (D) have launched their own ads yet.

As a heavy critic of his often reality-challenged father, I'm pleasantly surprised by this.

I agree with Benson, this guy is pleasantly suprising to me. The add is right on. we need to try these guys in military court. It's not like they're on trial for robbery here, these guys are hardened terrorists who're much more at home cutting off an infidel's head then in Miranda warnings.

We all think we're going to feel surprised by this new appearance, we hope to bring many new ideas and regrescantes to us all.

Do state sites that give inmate location let you know when the inmate may be released or if they have been transferred? Are transfers part of criminal records?

Hello, great post. I look forward to your next topic. Thanks, Rebecca

Thanks for the good information.
