Forward Kentucky: The biggest loser in the Paul-Booker race
By BERRY CRAIG
By Nov. 8, thousands of words will have been written about the Senate race between incumbent Republican Rand Paul and his challenger, Democrat Charles Booker.
The election can be boiled down to just three words: Demagoguery versus decency.
Paul panders to the worst in the body politic: racism, sexism, nativism, xenophobia, and homophobia. He preaches and practices the politics of division and hate. He believes that the government has no responsibility to help those who need help, or to help eliminate inequality and discrimination based on gender, race, or disability.
