From Eric Dondero:

The liberal media is aghast. Republican candidate for US Senate Rand Paul is actually opposed to mandatory seat belt laws. And he's against smoking bans too!

From the Louisville Courier-Journal, Sunday (via The Hill), "Report: Rand Paul supported healthcare bartering"):

Paul has condemned Medicare as ‘socialism;’ denounced seat-belt and anti-smoking laws as ‘Nanny-state’ paternalism; called for voluntary, rather than mandatory, accommodation of people with disabilities; and suggested using satellites to monitor America's borders for illegal immigrants.

Kentuckians may like their fast cars and smokes more than the liberal Nanny-Staters realize. The elites in D.C. (and Louisville!) could very well get a rude awakening come November.
