Rand Paul Comes to Whitley County Election day is just weeks away and the candidates are making their rounds on the campaign trail. Reporter: Samantha Saracino Election day is just weeks away and the candidates are making their rounds on the campaign trail. Rand Paul stopped in Eastern Kentucky on Saturday for a meet-and-greet and pig roast. A crowd of people greeted Republican Candidate Rand Paul when he stopped by Whitley County, but this wasn't his first time visiting the area. "Got a lot of friends here. A lot of republicans down here and we're trying to motivate them and get them out to vote," Paul said. He personally met with those who came out and he also addressed some of his main concerns. "The unemployment, you know, 10% unemployment. The recession, and really, people think the government has grown too large. The debt has become enormous," he explained Paul says if he is elected, he's ready to make some changes, especially regarding budget. "I think Republicans and Democrats have done a poor job at cutting spending. Both Democrats and Republicans would be made better if we had a balanced budget amendment so I will push for an amendment to the Constitution to say they must balance the budget by law." Paul says one of the main issues people are concerned with in Eastern Kentucky is coal. "The president seems to be against the coal industry. The president said his policies will bankrupt coal. President Obama also said his policy will double the price of electricity and I don't think people in Kentucky, especially Eastern Kentucky, want that kind of policy." He says thousands of jobs would be lost in this area if the coal industry gets shut down and he is hopeful that doesn't happen. Paul also made his way to Somerset for a picnic with Congressman Hal Rogers. Poster Comment: I just live a few short miles from where he'll be, just across the border in the next county, so I may go and hear what he has to say. I can tell more by a person if I can see them up close, and look them in the eye..lol...

I agree. I was at the Nutter Center when McCain announced Palin. I never liked McCain, in fact I despised him. When he started announcing who he picked and he said a she. I was like he is sucking up for the womans vote. Then I was curious about her at the end of the event. I went up close and got to look them over and in the eye. What I saw in all their family's eyes was genuineness. I could have misread but that is what my gut told me at the time. I like Rand Paul so far and hope he wins and lives up to expectations.
I'm a pretty darn good people reader, tho it's tough if you can't look them in the face, that's why there is so much static here on these forums, you just don't know who to trust, because it's just the internet, and it's just a game to many...and they wonder why they're looked upon as they are...they're role playing, and I'm gettin better at telling who's playing and who is just being themselves...I go with my gut instinct everytime, it's never let me down. &;-)

Go Rand go!

I like Rand & I hope his pop injects him with some protectionism & isolationism. This exporting freedom thing to unappreciative people bites hard. America first.
I agree with those positions. I think Rand is both.
DITTO!! Oh, did either of you notice that this is also a "pig roast"..? I wasn't lying about our muslim population here, and I wonder if they'll show? Maybe they could bring their own, or stop off at that 'original' KFC there....aha

I've driven by that original KFC. How far are you away from there?
It sits on old hwy 25 in whitely, I would say I'm about 5-6 miles away, in laurel county.

Too funny. They're a filthy people who need to get on the magic carpets and head back to their caves. America would be better for their absence.
We do love our pig roasts here, slow roasted in the ground, bar-b-cued, baked potatoes, baked beans, garlic, or cornbread...ummmmm, I'm hungry. lol... I've been around muslims my whole life and never understood them, except for some of their professions, we just aren't aquainted with one another, unless you are one of them, they are not socialable, or hospitable with outsiders.
