New Rand Paul Ad Imitates Obama's Voice (VIDEO)

Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul is borrowing a familiar voice for his latest campaign ad -- President Obama's. But if something sounds slightly amiss, that's probably because it's an impersonator attempting to drive a connection between Democrat Jack Conway and the President.

"Jack Conway, uh, has given me a stamp of approval," the mimicked voice says. "Conway supported me for president, helped bankroll my campaign, and even fought to pass my health care plan. Now, I need Conway in Washington, because I know I can count on Conway to vote for more spending and debt, bigger government and higher taxes."

A Blackberry vibrates, displaying Jack Conway calling from Kentucky's 502 area code. The number is also directed from 867-5309, the famous seven digits behind Tommy Tutone's hit single of the same name.

"There he is now! Mr. Jack Conway," "Obama" says. "Now there's a guy I can work with in Washington."

Paul's latest spot comes as the DSCC announces a new ad campaign against the Tea Party-backed Republican's controversial comments about creating a $2,000 deductible for Medicare.

The latest polling from HuffPost Pollster shows Paul with a significant lead over Conway.

Watch the DSCC's ad here.

IRONIC the majority of Tea Baggers are retirees and blue collar workers and they are supporting Rand Paul who wants to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid for American seniors. Joe Miller who wants to lower the wages of American workers and eliminate unemployment benefits for all Americans despite the fact that his wife already collected unemployment from Taxpayers. For the first time in US history Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell are campaigning about changing our abortion laws to force woman into incest or procreate with rapists. Sharron Angle also believes that government should not require insurance companies to cover autism or maternity care despite the fact she is using government health care and the list of anti-American proposals from Tea Baggers Candidates goes on and on. True Republicans and Democrats shall stop the Tea Party on November.

I would have thought it was illegal to match a voice impersonation with a photo of somone for the purpose of advertising. Otherwise political adsters could fake any beloved celebrity or political big wig endorsing them. What if Conway ran an ad with somone impersonating known creeps -- say Dick Cheney or the pedophile priest of the month saying how great Rand Paul is?

Clearly, they are, if Rand is leading in the polls. Kentuckians voting so stupidly will get what they deserve, just like we Californians did by electing a friggin' action movie actor, twice.

Why isn't this on the front page? See FEC v. Novacek, Republican Victory Committee, Inc. They were fined $47,414.15 for fraudulently soliciting donations (441h (b)).

Rand and his dad have strong ties to the verrrry far Right
Constitution Party. It’s platform, says:

The Constitution Party gratefully acknowledges the blessing of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as Creator, Preserver and Ruler of the
Universe and of these United States.
[...]
The goal of the Constitution Party is to restore American
jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal
government to its Constitutional boundaries.

Rand Paul could be found, in April 2009, at a rally held by the
Constitution Party that’s been heavily influenced by a movement whose
founder, Rousas Rushdoony, advocated stoning gay people, wanted to
reimpose the institution of slavery, and maintained that the Sun
rotated around the Earth. And this guy is about to become a US
Senator!

Fair enough. I might also point out that the Democrats and liberals have pretty close ties with the Communist Party and various other socialist organizations, as was shown in last week's One Nation rally. So take your pick - constitutionalsim, or communism.

Of course he used an impersonator. He, like the other baggers, is an impersonation of a decent human being.

At least they are trying to impersonate a decent human with principles instead of a dimo.

He is ahead by 10+ points with Rasmussen.

CONway has done nothing as Attorney General and Paul killed him in their first debate. CONway has propsed no ideas of his own, but rather spends his time attacking Paul. If CONway would come up with some ideas maybe people would listen to him, but until then....

Rand Paul can be compared to Fidel Castro, like most Tea Baggers, Paul just wants to be in Power for his own personal benefit. Tea Baggers want the government to work for them but they don’t a government working for anybody else.

[Waldo the WonderCat]

07:28 PM on 10/06/2010

Government works for no one but themselves which is why there are more public sector employees thatn private sector employees.

[Nicole Maron]

06:44 PM on 10/11/2010

That makes no logical sense.

[Ken Freedom]

08:17 PM on 10/11/2010

That isn't even remotely true. There are about 21 million people employed in the public sector, counting local, state and federal government. Meanwhile there are about 134 million people employed by the private sector.

21 is not more than 134. 21 is, in fact, about 1/6th of 134.

I know math is hard, but c'mon.

[robbob35]

Rand Paul is a constitutional libertarian. Fidel Castro is a Marxist communist. Those philosophies are diametrically opposed. There's no similarity whatsoever. If you wanted to be honest, you'd admit that it is the liberals who are in sync with Fidel Castro. Michael Moore's movie Sicko implies Cuba is better than the US. Some Democrat members of congress praised Castro effusively. You wont find any conservatives or libertarians saying that. See for yourself: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/04/congressional-caucus-members-meet-with-the-castro-cousins-in-cuba.html http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21008.html

You won't find any conservatives or libertarians praising Castro because they are stuck in the McCarthy era.

The ad is amateurish, just like Paul

[sals]

01:17 PM on 10/06/2010

Wow, I thought the best way to respond to Rand's ad was to do likewise and get down on his level.....but Harpo Marx wasn't available. And no one does Rand the way Harpo can......anyone who elects the hypocrite Rand to office deserves him....I'm not sure his father can support him anymore.....he has shown his lack of ability to govern.

A GREAT POST FROM A GREAT POSTER

outlandish

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A TEABAGGER WHEN...

You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and
appointed a President

You didn't get mad when the Patriot Act got passed.

You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no
threat to us.

You didn't get mad when we spent over 600 billion(and counting) on on
illegal war.

You didn't get mad when over 10 billion dollars just disappeared in
Iraq.

You didn't get mad when you saw the Abu Grahib photos.

You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.

You didn't get mad when the national debt doubled under the previous
President from $5.674 trillion to $10.024 trillion.

You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping
Americans and the President lied about it.

You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden in Tora Bora.

You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions at Walter
Reed.

You didn't get mad when we let a major US city drown!

You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark.

You finally got mad when the BLACK man decided that people in America
deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.

Yes! Illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax
dollars to make the rich richer, are all ok with you, but helping
other Americans... well that makes you mad!”

Just another effort to win the "low information" people's vote. If they win, the most uneducated folks in this courtry wins and American will once again deserve the international status of "Stupid", just as the rest of the world viewed said about us when Bush won office for the 2nd time. Republicans depend on the uneducated vote. Could this be why they also want to get rid of the Department of Education? More stupid people = more votes = more more power = more money. Hmm?

Rand Paul is one of the most Shady and Radical Tea Party Candidate! He is rather confused on our constitution! So, why am I commenting on this individual?

[robbob35]

01:02 AM on 10/07/2010

Which part of the constitution did Rand Paul misinterpret?
