Rand Paul endorses Neumann in Wisconsin Senate race

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Thursday, November 10, 2011 - 12:35 p.m.

MADISON—U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has endorsed Mark Neumann in the race for Wisconsin’s open Senate seat.
Rand Paul is the son of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and a member of the Senate’s Tea Party caucus. He says he believes Neumann, a former congressman, is the most conservative candidate in the race and will push back against government spending and tax increases.
The national conservative group Club for Growth’s political action committee endorsed Neumann in September, saying Neumann is a fiscal conservative and will lead the fight for limited government.
The seat is open due to the retirement of Democrat Herb Kohl. Neumann, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson and state Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald are all vying for the Republican nomination.

I hope we all remember how well Reaganomics worked.
And how is it the politicians all say they will create jobs, but then say its not governments place to create jobs.

lovemycountry- Yea, what a bonus that would be. Neumann will do as much for Wisconsin as Ron Johnson. There's a reason Johnson is nicknamed Senator Zero. Remember "I know how to create jobs!"?

Looking forward to having Senator Neumann join Senator Johnson representing Wisconsin. Neumann has a plan to cut $2T out of federal government. A good start... http://www.channel3000.com/news/29730722...

Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Ayn Rand. It makes no difference who does the endorsing, it's the kiss of death.
