"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

If Rand Paul really wants to raise issues in the campaign, he should challenge Hillary for the Democrat presidential nomination and hold her to a series of debates.
Plus running as a Democrat would change the opinion of 42% of those opposing his dual campaign effort.

RE :”
Sixty-six percent of Kentucky voters oppose changing a state law to allow Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to run for president and reelection to the Senate at the same time, according to a new poll.” Rand Paul's headache ping!
Of course Paulists will respond by claiming that Ted Cruz is not eligible (a birther term) to run for POTUS.
Popcorn time.

He;s like his dad, wants to have to both ways.
Actually he wants it 3 ways, run in the senate, run for the white house, and run as a republican/conservative when clearly he is not.
He can run in the liberaltarian party as a libraltarian, but he has to pick one race

I wish he like his dad would be honest and run on what they are instead of trying to have t both ways.
He;s a liberaltarian , therefore he should run as one and in their party, in their convention etc.

Let Rand run for President if he must, but keep him out of the Senate next time.

MSNBC has been reporting on him performing free eye surgery operations in a South American country.

We must not forget that he endorsed Mitch McConnell in the primary. I’m sure Mitch will help him out on this.

Yup, he sure did. What a disappointment he turned out to be.
Not so unlike his Pa as we were led to believe.

Good. LIEberman, Biden, and Paul Ryan shouldn't have been allowed to run for two offices at the same time, either. Every state should follow Kentucky's lead.

Don't blame me. My first choice was Bill Johnson. But a bunch of useful idiots conservatives believe we must immediately, blindly support WHICHEVER candidate screams "TEA PARTY!!" the loudest and anyone who fails to do so is part of the "GOPe". Under no circumstances could we question whether Rand Paul was the "true conservative" he claimed to be.
So how are all the Paulbots running in Tea Party drag working out so far?

Unfortunately, Johnson turned out not so viable a general election candidate after getting creamed by the moonbat Grimes for Secretary of State in 2011 in an open race (in fact, it was the worst showing for any of the GOP candidates statewide that year in KY). 61-39%.

You made the mistake of having exceptions of him.
He is exactly what I thought he would be, his father’s son. The apple rarely falls far, and if it does it usually falls in the wrong direction, think Connie Mack IV compared to his father Connie Mack III. Think former Governor Bob Taft of Ohio and his father Robert Taft Jr., compared to his the later’s father Robert A. Taft and HIS father, the former President Taft.
He is a bit smarter than his dad though (which is hardly shocking since he’s far too young to be demented), endorsing McConnell over his fellow libertarian traveler, Matt Bevin, who had no chance of beating McC and would have been a near certain November loser, was a wise move for him no matter how much it ticked off people here. You don’t kick the most powerful Republican in your state in the nads for no reason.
I can’t be upset he won the primary though. I supported Trey Grayson, but Grayson’s detractors turned out to be 100% right, the “former” democrat Grayson is a traitor, after he lost he took a job with a PAC that only supports democrats.
The guy that dropped out, Bill Johnson, was my first choice (by default), but as DJ points out he probably would have been a weak GE candidate and lost to the rat, Conway.
