(17,199 posts)I could be wrong, but that's what I recall reading.
Let's hope Kentucky gets rid of both of them.
Cha
(296,890 posts)froze up. Anyway it said the Kentucky legislature passed a bill that said he could run for Senate and in the Presidential race. He'll be busy plagiarizing his a$$ off.
Funny I haven't heard about anyone running against him for the Senate.. like Alison L Grimes is against mitch. I have to go look up that now.
Nevermind.. I was getting 2014 and 2016 Fused!

All of these sitting Congressional members states allowed them to do dual-duty and run on two ballots. For Paul, it seemed like a mere formality. He quietly asked the states legislature to revise the law in order to allow him to run for President and Senate at the same time. His interpretation is that the spirit of the law is to prevent a candidate from running for two statewide offices at the same time. It says nothing of national office, like for President or VP. In March, Kentuckys GOP-controlled Senate passed a bill acquiescing to Pauls request by a comfortable margin, 25-13.
Well, a funny thing happened along the way. The House, which is held by Democrats, decided not to play along. Now, they havent voted against it, per se. Instead, they just let the time run out in this legislative session. They may pass it when they return. Or, they might just allow it to sit there, forcing Paul to be more vocal about it, making his intentions more clear. At the very least, Kentucky Democrats, and especially Speaker Greg Stumbo, are delighting in their ability to make Paul squirm.

Paul is indeed beneath contempt with his ugly comments! Not surprising at all, their whole party is just plain ugly!
