Steve Forbes backs Rand Paul for Senate

From Press Release, Jan. 7 (via BusinessWire):

“I am proud to endorse Republican candidate Dr. Rand Paul for Senate.

“As someone who has run an outsider campaign myself, I know something about taking on the establishment. I see in Rand someone who can take the fight from the Tea Parties to the Senate, and help take back our government and our country from the out of control, tax and spend liberals.

“The American people need more than just another vote. They need a man of principle who will always stand up and fight. They need a citizen politician who will represent THEM.

“Rand Paul will do the work to fight for lower taxes and spending and for more freedom in Washington. He’ll fight for a constitutional amendment to balance the budget and for term limits. He’ll fight to give back more of our rights, not take more away.

“And then he’ll go back home to Kentucky. I can’t think of a better way to represent the people of Kentucky then to end the cycle of career politicians and pork barrel spending in Washington.”

Note - Steve Forbes ran for President twice, once in 1996 and then again in 2000. In 2008, he backed Rudy Giuliani for President.
