Rand Paul, son of Texas Rep. Ron Paul and a favorite of the Tea Party movement, has built a big lead over Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the race for the GOP Senate nomination in Kentucky, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted April 9-11.
The race has been depicted as a test of the movement's influence, pitting a candidate trying to capitalize on the voter anger it reflects against an establishment Republican who has won re-election to his position three times. Grayson has fought back with TV ads honing in on Paul's "strange ideas," such as saying "Paul even wonders whether 9/11 was our fault."
Paul is ahead of Grayson by 45 percent to 30 percent with 6 percent for three other candidates and 19 percent undecided.
Conservatives favor Paul by 51 percent to 29 percent with 16 percent undecided. Those who attend religious services regularly or occasionally favor Paul by double-digit margins. Gun owners back Paul 48 percent to 22 percent with 22 percent undecided. There is an income gap between Paul and Grayson supporters: Paul leads among Kentuckians earning less than $50,000 a year by 49 percent to 22 percent with 21 percent undecided, but his margin is much smaller (42 percent to 38 percent) among those earning over $50,000.

LOL, that pretty much explains you.
You are lying again, I am anti Ron Paul and anti that socialist scum Mitt Romney, that you so aggressively support.
Yeah, I make people prove their assertions. I’m funny that way. I don’t take your pronouncements at face value and I make you provide proof for what you say.
I’ve been on these ‘tubes too long and seen too many people sling BS and expect me to spend hours collecting data to prove them wrong.
Here is the way it works at freerepublic troll, you don’t lie your way through the threads and falsely accuse people as you are.
You need to show all these lies that you have been saying, get to doing your research.
See, this is what I’m talking about. You accuse me of lying and have yet to produce a single lie.
You make the accusation, you prove it.
You are just too silly to deal with.
I know. Asking you for evidence of your assertions. That’s silly.
In an unrelated matter, I hear the “scientists” at East Anglia are hiring, I’ll recommend you.
Incidentally... I'm sorry for causing you to feel the need to loudly proclaim to the world the fact that you do, honestly, no really you're serious, possess an above-average IQ.
I'm sure that you do. At least one standard deviation above the norm, I have no doubt.
It was not my purpose to make you feel insecure.
Granted, as Anti-Paulist debaters go... well, compared to Allegra, you don't even rate.
But I'm sure that you're at least above-average. A genuine Lake Wobegon boy.
Most of them have never held office before.
Didn’t do himself a favor saying that. He’s probably be cheesed off that Palin endorsed Paul. I think he and JD Hayworth have a legitimate gripe.
Bunning is angry he was forced out. Paul defended him or so I hear.
Big diss of his ‘protege’ Grayson saying “there is only one such conservative running for the United States Senate”.
Not how I wanted to see Bunning go out.
Jim Bunning went out proudly and honorably, with his Middle Finger held high, endorsing Rand Paul and cursing the Establishment Republicans who hung him out to dry.

That is another interesting lie. If you were capable enough to look at my posting history, you would see that I am frequently taking on the libertarians, I could use your help if you want to join me. I can't help but notice that some of the libertarians hate me as much as you romneybots do, and express it similarly to you.

"Many liberals are admitted Libertarians as well.
Ansel, you are completely demented on the subject of libertarians -- I've heard all you have to say before. Please don't ping me.

"liberalism is libertarian as well, do you think that liberals do not agree with this concept of individual freedom and foreign policy? Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through political boundaries. Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else. Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments. Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions. Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science can come up with, zero restrictions. Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions. Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
I spoke too soon -- back to your mindless spewing.

I guess you know that no Romney man has ever served the United States, during our entire history, right?
No Romney male ever, and not in peace time, not in war time, not the Civil War, Indian Wars, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, never, even the draft has never been able to snag one, for instance Mitt lived in France during Vietnam and avoided the draft, not a single one of his five sons will enlist either.
Is that another thing that makes you despise Sarah Palin so much that you put it on your home page?
I didn’t realize you were someone that holds grudges across generations. If you have a problem with an individual or you want to praise them, don’t use their ancestry as a source for their character.
Neither Romney nor anyone else is responsible for his or her ancestry.
Neither Adams (regular nor Quincy), nor Jefferson, nor Madison ever served either.
Both Murtha and Lindsay Graham served. Well, Graham was a JAGoff, but I guess that technically counts.
Interesting quotes. Your protestations about being anti-libertarian are technically true if this response (I love that you don’t cite the original quote) are to be believed.
You’re a Buchananite, a Pat-sy and you know full well that the claims of the Pauls to being libertarian are nothing but smoke.
Yeah, petty of both Grayson and Bunning.
The problem was that Palin got into this thing (I have a theory that a staffer of hers sent the money in on her behalf and she had to defend it, she wasn’t involved in getting in too many primaries.)
It gave Paul a legitimacy he didn’t deserve. Maybe he could have overcome it on his own, but I think for a Senate seat, a newbie like Rand Paul should have a higher bar that Palin lowered by her endorsement.
As to JD, Palin is loyal and she’ll defend McCain. I don’t know that she denigrated JD. In any case, he isn’t a great candidate and I refuse to support somebody just because I want to get revenge on McCain. I’d prefer JD, but this isn’t a Rubio/Crist situation, where the choice is obvious.
And of course it’s about me. Yes, I would defend Ron Paul’s record either if I were you.
