Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Drew Ryun, the Political Director for the Madison Project, a conservative outside group, called Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) a "tool" after the junior senator from Kentucky took a very subtle jab at the Senate Conservatives Fund:
Quote:

Ryun's dig is in response to Paul, in a Politico profile of Senate Conservatives Fund executive director Matt Hoskins ( http://www.politico.com/story/2014/01/matt-hoskins-senate-conservative
s-fund-101943.html
), saying that the outside group's tactics are "unusual":
Quote:

Even Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite used to being at odds with the GOP more establishment senators, told Politico that the group's tactics are "unusual."

"I would say it doesn't create a lot of extra happiness around here when people are opposing people in a primary," said the freshman senator. http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/conservatives-fund-hoskins/2014/01/09/

Paul's comments are perhaps one of the more direct (although far from aggressive) criticisms he's made of SCF. Other critics have been far more vocal about SCF and The Madison Project, among others, for spending resources attacking Republicans rather than Democrats. In the same article, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who's been the target of SCF called the group "very destructive":
Quote:

Republicans in Washington say following Hoskins’s playbook is a recipe for a Democratic-controlled Senate.

“It’s been by and large very destructive,” said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who faces a primary challenge and has been a frequent target of the group’s attacks. “I wish they spent more time on our political opposition rather than creating internal divisions among Republicans. That does nothing but help our political opponents.” ( http://www.politico.com/story/2014/01/matt-hoskins-senate-conservative
