Oh, please. He wouldn't be running were it not for his father.

Well apparently the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Ron Paul raised his children the right way and taught them how to be good, responsible citizens. I see that as a good thing, not a liability.

He's using his father's fundraising network, his father's supporters. Without them, he'd be no more higher profile than the 3rd candidate in the race.

OK, Ron Paul never had a political "machine." His 2008 campaign was entirely supported by grassroots and patriotic Americans. It's not his fault that his message inspired volunteers to use the Internet to raise money, and carry that support over to his son. So don't be a hater because the other Republicans can't do the same.

I support the Tea Partiers, I also absolutely oppose Paul and Paleo-Libertarians. They are a clear and present danger to our national security, no different than the Kucinich wing of the Democrat party.

Bullshit. Both are one and the same. The same people who supported Ron Paul are out there protesting Obama and big government. Yes, a handful of anti-war, neo-Nazis tried to exploit Ron Paul's campaign, but they were NOT the majority of his support, and Ron Paul denounced them plenty of times.

Baloney.

Baloney yourself.

He's Ron Paul's boy first and foremost.

I don't care if he's the offspring of Josef Stalin.
He's conservative and he's bringing back the small-libertarians into the GOP and will represent them in the Senate. That's good enough for me.

Don't think you know much about KY politics.

No, I particularly don't care who did what in KY. I want to see small-libertarians represented in the GOP and Rand Paul is that guy.

Because he's done nothing to earn the job.

There you go again, ignoring the anti-Washington, anti-party mood from the voters.

I vigorously oppose Ron Paul as a nutter and dangerous, definitely the anti-Reagan.

But you have no problem supporting a Democrat who once campaigned for Clinton.

How old, exactly, do you think Trey Grayson is? Campaigning for Bill Clinton, assuming that’s true for the sake of argument, would have made him a very young pup, and I sure know a lot of people who, after growing up, have changed their views from the time they were in their teens and 20s. It’s hardly relevant what he was doing as a kid - what he does as a grown up is of much more concern.
