OY, this level of arrogance is merely reflective.    Rand Paul says Mitch McConnell challenger, Matt Bevin, is a “good, honest, Christian man”.    McConnell’s campaign manager gets tweeked and says Rand Paul misspoke. 
The arrogance of the power hungry McConnell people is astounding.   I’m thinking Rand Paul can speak for himself, but that’s just me…. 
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Tea party darling Rand Paul has endorsed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, [the reason is well outlined HERE] but he’s saying kind words about McConnell’s GOP primary challenger, Louisville businessman Matt Bevin.
Paul referred to Bevin as a “good, honest, Christian man” and said he doesn’t have anything bad to say about McConnell’s challenger. Paul made the comments Friday in Louisville, shortly after Bevin filed to run against McConnell in next May’s GOP primary in Kentucky.
McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton later said Paul misspoke in his assessment of Bevin. Benton said Paul doesn’t know Bevin well and said the McConnell campaign has found a long record of Bevin “stretching and bending the truth.”  (more)

Rand Paul is similarly disposed to Mitch McConnell like Sarah Palin who was unwilling to be brutally confrontational toward John McCain in his 2012 re-election primary.     Both Paul today, and Palin 2011/12 are/were principally on the outside of each candidate (McConnell and McCain) – yet their prior attachments and misplaced loyalties kept them from supporting the primary opposition.
