Trey Grayson started out the summer as the presumptive republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. Then Rand Paul emerged just as the "TEA party" movement and the "anti-incumbent" sentiment in America began catching fire. Now Grayson is behind in the polls and Paul is raising money at a surprising pace.
Last week Grayson shot back, accusing Paul of taking inconsistent positions on closing Guantanamo prison. Up until that point Paul had been able to turn most of Grayson's criticisms back on Trey without breaking a sweat. But this criticism took hold and was reported around the Commonwealth forcing Paul to get off of his regular message and respond, repeatedly. Now his supporters are firing back.
An email and blog campaign has been circulated in an effort to make the case that Grayson is a liberal in disguise, pointing to Grayson's background, and his recent listing as a speaker at a Global Climate Change Seminar at Eastern Kentucky University. Here is the email:
Now that Charles Merwin Grayson III (aka Trey) is behind in the polls, his rhetoric is "moving towards the right." But is Trey really a conservative...or is he a RINO (Republican In Name Only) Kentucky conservatives would do well to keep these UNDENIABLE FACTS in mind.
1. Grayson graduated from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government (where free enterprise is laughed at but socialism is praised).
2. Grayson voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, then opportunistically switched parties after the anti-Clinton backlash and GOP landslide of 1994. Allegations that Grayson was actually a delegate for Clinton have yet to be confimed nor denied.
3. Grayson's rich banker daddy was a long time donor to liberal Democrat candidates. Daddy Grayson's bank was also a recipient of TARP bailout money.
4. Greyson teamed up with ultra liberal Democrat State Treasurer, and now Democrat State Chairman, Jonathan Miller to co-found Kentucky's "Cradle-to-College" commission. Cradle-to-College is a socialist scheme that sets up college funds for newborns at birth, and then would require them to perform community service when they grow up. This is exactly the type of statism that Clinton and Obama favor!!!
5. Grayson is affiliated with the George Soros/Rockefeller funded, ultra left wing, pro-Globalist, Aspen Instutute. He completed an Aspen-Rodel fellowship program. Aspen was founded as the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. Aspen recruits young ambitious politicians with "bipartsian" leanings, and then grooms them for higher office. (Notice how rapidly Grayson's career has risen???) Aspen's CEO is the notorious left wing media mogul, Walter Isaacson (former CEO of CNN and managing editor of TIME)Why does Grayson boast his Aspen affiliation on his own website? No true conservative would have anything to do with Aspen - an organization that welcomes radicals like the self admitted communist Van Jones.
By the way Kentucky's Democrat Party Chairman Miller - the same Miller who teamed up with Grayson on the "Cradle-To-College" sceme....was a classmate of Grayson's at Aspen. It pays to join Aspen!
6. Grayson believes in the hoax of Global Warming and even gave a keynote speech on the subject at Eastern Kentucky University.
Harvard elitist - Kennedy School - "Cradle-to-Grave advocate" - Wealthy Democrat banking family - Clinton backer - "Bi-Partisan" dealmaker - Globalist Aspen Institute - ally of Jonathan Miller - -Global Warming hoaxer.Lord Grayson III expected to be annointed by the DC Establishment. But now that his coronation is in doubt, he's talking like a conservative. But Kentucky conservatives and common folk shouldn't buy what this elitist liberal RINO is selling.
For many Kentucky republicans Grayson's conservative credentials are not in doubt. He has worked very hard for republicans and the party since he switched from being a democrat and ran for office.
His problem now seems to be that his continued affiliations with liberal leaning groups, ideologies and issues may raise some doubts about his core principles. And in this political climate where distrust of politicians is becoming pandemic, this could be a much more troubling problem for Grayson which this new email campaign is obviously designed to exploit.
