They're scared shitless.

In the first salvo of the 2016 Republican ad wars, a conservative group is about to unleash a seven-figure ad campaign targeting Senator Rand Paul for being out of step with the party on Iran, just as he launches his presidential campaign.

The Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America, a 501(c)(4) group led by veteran Republican operative Rick Reed, will go live with its campaign against Paul on Tuesday, while the senator is in Louisville, Kentucky, announcing his presidential candidacy. The group will begin airing ads on broadcast TV, cable and the Web in several early primary states accusing Paul of being weak on Iran and tying him to the Barack Obama administration’s Iran policy, which polls show is deeply unpopular among Republican voters.....

Don't pay them any more attention than they're trying to get, if anybody thinks sharing this link or news with anybody is a good idea, think again.

If this non profit intended to do this ad campaign or not, us helping to spread their word only benefits them.

I don't think this is meant to be shared with people on the fence with Rand, more of an Art of War understanding your enemy post.

Somebody will definitely see this and freak out, share it and what not. Its free press for the attacking side. We already know who the enemy is, and if we're conditioned to spread their news for them, they don't even have to pay for attack ads, all they would have to do is write up a P.R. and let us do all the work for them.

Agreed, DO NOT SHARE!
 
7 figures?? That's no joke. I hope Team Rand is on top of their game and ready to spend some money to define Rand before the enemy is able to define him.
 
Good. I'm sure their ads will suck and they'll miss the point, and with Rand already branding himself as an outsider he'll be able to use their lame attempts to further push that narrative.

We've got them on the run this time. The interventionist shitsacks know we actually have a chance.
 
This kind of stuff should help Rand with fundraising, help him with independent voters, and help give him more attention and raise his name recognition.
 
Any relation to Ralph Reed from the Christian Coalition??
As a Christian, I wouldn't surprise me if there was a link there....
 
LOL, well if there was any question about Randal inheriting the enthusiasm as well as his fathers supporters; this sure seems like a good way to try to make sure that happens. thanks guys!
 
Here we go, Reed pretty much operates as a front for McCain, Graham and their neoconservative backers.

Notes on Rick Reed:

Mr. Reed is also a long-time strategist for Mr. McCain, working for his 2000 presidential campaign and briefly for his 2008 campaign, before it ran short on money and trimmed its operations.

Financed mainly by McCain backers, the Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America was created with the help of Republican ad maker Rick Reed. He called himself a volunteer with McCain's presidential effort earlier this year, and he is close to McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis.

The Foundation for a Secure and Prosperous America (FSPA) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit corporation that "operates independently" from the 2008 presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), "but was set up and financed by his supporters seeking to help him as much as possible up to the limits of the law,"
