Rand Paul Builds Double-Digit Lead in Race for Kentucky GOP Senate Nod
http://www.politicsdaily.com ^ | 04/13/10 | Bruce Drake

Posted on 04/13/2010 12:37:13 PM PDT by Maelstorm

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.

No. Rand Paul and Ron Paul are the same animal. As long as they continue to court antisemites and truthers and support traitors like the vile Adam Kokesh, I’ll be here raving away. This is much bigger than Kentucky’s senate race.

So you admit you have zero actual proof...just throwing around accusations aimed at FReepers, many of them longtime.

Thanks.

Admit it, you just came over here from Stormfront for the hors d'ouvres.

If you want to push liberals then you are on the wrong site the voters of Kentucky are watching this race and they say that Trey Greyson is too liberal for them.

You seem unable to show any interest in the actual Kentucky Senate race, instead you do childish ravings and insult freerepublic, Governor Palin, Steve Forbes, Concerned Women for America, Gun Owners of America, and Christians and conservatives, and pro life voters of the state of Kentucky by labeling them racist “stormfront” members.

Conservatives, Christians, social conservatives, and the statewide Kentucky voting population support Rand Paul.

“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.”

Rand Paul leads by double digits among men and women, among conservatives, pro-life voters, gun owners.

“Grayson leads today only among the 1 in 5 Republican primary voters who say they are pro-choice.

I am being reasonable. The video is posted on this thread, watch it. It’s not a few people, it sounded like the entire Paul contingent and the reaction was vicious, crazed and disturbing. If that’s how large numbers of Paul’s cultists feel about a simple declaration that “America stands with Israel” — at a time when Israel is facing a nuclear Islamist regime hell bent on annihilating her — they are indistinguishable from the Stormfront Nazis.

These people exist disrupt the process, create confusion in our elections (see Adam Kokesh) and hijack the only viable opposition party in this country. Think hard about the implications of Kokesh’s fake Republican candidacy, who’s finacing it and what Ron and Rand Paul’s support for it really means. Now consider the number of Jew-haters and truthers who have found a home in this demented movement. Think it through, honestly. It’s a well financed, well orchestrated divide and conquer strategy... and if they succeed, we’ll have one party rule in this country for as far as the eye can see.

You aren’t interested in post 64 are you and you aren’t interested in apologizing to anyone either it seems.

They aren’t libertarians. They are Buchananites squared. The Pauls like to grandstand on fiscal issues but they don’t do anything about it.

You got it right, Paulists and Buchananites are kin.

Anyway, latest revealing prank by the malignant Ron Paul cult was their presence at SRLC, where they booed Mike Pence when he declared support for Israel. Interesting how the Paul machine was able to pay for 800+ admissions to the conference when they are so adamant about "fiscal responsibility." But then disruption is their highest priority.

Liquor or drugs?

You must have forgotten that liquor IS a drug. I'm sure you can find a better question than that.

That’s right, I’m not interested in apologizing to anyone. Not even a little bit.

Are you interested in explaining Rand and Ron Paul’s support for Code Pink 9/11 truther Adam Kokesh? How about Sarah Palin, Steve Forbes, the Concerned Women or the GOA? Can they explain it? How about the people of Kentucky? Do they even know who Adam Kokesh is? If they don’t, it’s about time they learned, before they send a stalking horse to represent them in Washington.

You are a troll, are you going to get involved in this thread at all and respond to post 64?

You are here as a Romneybot, Romney is your interest on every thread.

Trey Grayson went from voting for Bill Clinton to being a strong supporter of Mitt Romney, it is for reasons like that, the voters of Kentucky are not supporting Trey Grayson.

Did you notice post 64?

Kentucky rejects Trey Grayson, except for the pro abortion Republicans, they must see him as Mitt Romney like.

I admit that Ron Paul draws his support from Jew-haters, anti-war leftists, and 9/11 truthers. The same audience Stormfront caters to.

Couldn’t answer the Kokesh question, huh? Didn’t think so.

You are a creep. You’re like a black hole under the earth’s crust that sucks energy out of life itself.

Once again, I said nothing about Romney and you would have no idea of who I am and why I am here because you are incapable of either intelligent discussion or congeniality.

You can cut the Romneybot crap.

I am not a robot or ‘bot for anyone or anything. You, though, I suspect of being generated by some sort of mechanical android apparatus because of your predictable responses.

How interesting that you have outed yourself as a Ron Paul lie-bertarian, especially since one of your claims vs. Romney is that none of his 5 sons served in the military. You repeated that claim ad nauseum, like all your posting.

And here you are, supporting Rand Paul, the buddy of Code Pink traitor Adam Kokesh, who was also endorsed by Rand’s malignant Dad, Ron, also an anti-military, anti-WOT traitor. Yet, the Pauls seem to be your kind of guys.

So why would it bother you that Romney’s sons never served in the military? The answer is it doesn’t bother you, but served as a robot-like device for spamming, in the service of your lie-bertarian masters.

In addition, similar to the Pauls, you will not criticize the current democrat president, or any democrat. In fact, you stated a few days ago that the forum is not/should not be for criticizing the current administration. However, anyone can look at the Latest Posts page at any time of day or night and see that is what we do.

I’m sure I’m not the only one noticing you have outed yourself as an agent of the Left.

When he said that, I looked through three pages of your posting history. Didn’t see a single post that any sane person could interpret as advocacy for Mitt Romney.

Funny thing is, I’ve been accused of the same by the Cult of Paul. They must be working from a handbook.

You are one of freerepublics biggest and most single mined romneybots and Trey Grayson is a Romney man.

That is a bald faced lie, why don't you show what I actually said?

To: La Enchiladita
FReerepublic is about conservative politics and activism, most of us do not spend time telling each other that we do not support Obama and the democrat party.

We talk about Republican and conservative candidates here, and you have tried to smear conservative Republican Sarah Palin and tried to promote Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani in her place.

That outs you as the anti-conservative that you are.
