The Libertarian Party of Kentucky recently held its nominating convention for 2010 elections and failed to nominate a candidate for Senate. Similarly, the Constitution Party of Kentucky is rumored to be avoiding the Senate race ostensibly because of Rand Paul’s presence in that race. Rand Paul, a Republican candidate for the open U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky is currently ahead in polling by double digits and is largely considered the frontrunner. Rand Paul is the son of Congressman and former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Ron Paul.
K. Joshua Koch, vice chair of the Kentucky Libertarian Party, was an early supporter of the younger Paul’s run for Senate. George Whitfield, one of the organizers of the Libertarian Party meetups in Kentucky, was also an early supporter and made a donation to Rand Paul’s exploratory committee.
Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party’s 2008 Presidential nominee, has had good things to say about Rand Paul too, calling him a “sincere conservative-libertarian”, in contrast to “Big Government neocon” John McCain.
Rand Paul is considered a friend to ballot-access reformers according to Richard Winger, editor of Ballot Access News. He is well-educated on the unjustness of current ballot access laws.
As opposed to kissing the asses of the Dems and holding $10,000-a-plate fundraisers with corporate and globalist fatcats.
You just made my point all over again.
rolls eyes
Grassroots conservatives and the Tea Parties are fully behind Rand.
Even if he wasn't the son of Ron, he'd still get the support.
Tea Parties are mad at Republicans too, in case you haven't noticed.
Hey fieldmarshal, Ron isn't running. He's irrelevant in the race.
Not his fault that supporters of Ron are supporting him. That's absurd. Who do you think comprise of most of Sarah Palin's supporters? Also the supporters of Ron Paul.
I don’t think many of you have helped my decision making.
Horsecrap. Plenty of Conservatives and Tea Party supporters are NOT backing Junior Paul’s dog and pony Paleo sideshow.
His boy wouldn’t be in it were daddy not pulling the strings and telling his cultist followers to pony up the $$. Just like Ted Kennedy in ‘62. If his name were Eddie Moore, he wouldn’t have been in the race.
I hope you know cut and run jr. wants to close Guantanamo and send all the terrorists housed there back to their home countries. That by itself would make me vote against him.
Good point, but Grayson voted for Clinton and has ties to an organization connected to Van Jones. I really don’t want either of them.
This is a safe seat for Republicans, both Republican candidates are around 15 to 20 points ahead of both Democrats.
Grayson was a 21-year old college student when he voted for Clinton. If we’re going to hold people to such high standards, I might remind you Ronald Reagan was nearly 40 when he supported Harry Truman for President before he “saw the light.” As for the Van Jones crap, another Paulbot smear, he appeared at a function to give a talk along with many other people, that was it. Nobody knew who Van Jones was at the time. He certainly was no “close associate” of Jones.
John D got that wrong, Rand doesn’t want to close Guantanamo.
Quit being disingenuous.
Take your own advice. You don’t like the truth about Junior Paul.
Source?
BTW, how did Ron Paul 'cut and run'? Last i checked military operations was the responsibility of the Executive Branch, not congress.
You can't mean military service, cause John McCain, Duncan Hunter and Ron Paul were the only three Republican candidates for the Presidential nomination who actually served in the military.
Hey Ron Paul and his cultist loons may not like the Kentucky Conservative Republican, Trey Grayson, but they sure love that moonbat nutcase Alan Grayson down here in Central Florida. Some of the braindead Paulistas down here are just swooning all over the mentally challenged Congressman Alan Grayson. Because Alan Grayson is such a hate America fanatic, I’m thinking the LIBs (Libertarians, the lemmings on the cliff just waiting for their marching orders) will split the center-right coalition by putting up a 3rd party challenger to siphon votes from the Conservative Republican.
