Dr. Ron Paul’s son, Rand Paul, has formed an exploratory campaign for U.S. Senate from Kentucky. Rand Paul is similar to his father in ideology; he favors a strict application of the Constitution to federal government matters, thus opposes the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Department of Education and supports lower taxes and less spending.
A grass-roots movement formed several months ago to draft Dr. Rand Paul to run for the U.S. Senate after incumbent Republican Senator Jim Bunning. Bunning has left hints he may not run for reelection. Bunning, who had a career spanning 15 years in Major League Baseball prior to election to Congress, has polling numbers as low as 28 percent in Kentucky. He has also openly feuded with the establishment Republican Senator from Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The 45-year-old Dr. Rand Paul became a medical doctor (opthamologist) after graduating from Duke medical school, the same medical school his obstetrician father attended. “We believe that the Republican Party in many ways has lost their believability on issues like the deficit.” Dr. Paul told supporters on his exploratory campaign website. “We have a chance to win in this primary.”
Dr. Paul has already garnered more than $64,000 in donations in addition to more than 2,700 supporters on his Facebook cause.

Is he an anti-Semite and yellow belly on defense too?
How does he differ from his father?
If Bunning doesn’t run, I’d consider voting for him.
This anti-Semite nonsense regarding Ron Paul is pure, unadulterated bs. Please cite your source for this claim if you can. I’m certain you can’t.
As far as “yellow belly” on defense, he authorized the invasion of Afghanistan. He declined on Iraq, on Constitutional grounds.
What ox of yours is gored by the Constitutional concept of limited government?
Depends on the Mother if she was a bimbo the kids intellect suffers no matter who the father is.
Ron Paul may be a distraction devise set up by Democrats to cause conservatives to go stray and vote third party in 2012. This could result in Obama getting re-elected with less than 40% of the overall vote.
Does he like shrimp?
The Paulites don’t like the illegals having ID
Something about the constitution.
Only the illegals should not come under the constitution.
The Pauls are anti war, just like the left wing.
Paul is a fraud. Do your own research on his anti-Semitism. Based upon your response, I’m not the first who has brought it up. His allegiance to the Constitution is when it suits him.
I don’t believe Congressman Paul would recognize limited government if it bit him on the ass. My concept of limited government? Defense of borders and an army and only the taxes enough to pay for it.
Not to worry about the Dems and/or Ron Paul. There are enough Republican politicians that based on their actions (or lack thereof), will push many conservatives to vote third party.
You can't back up your ridiculous slander.
Am I the only one who can't understand what the heck this is supposed to mean exactly?
It doesn’t look like he does in most respects. I wonder if he comes across the same way his dad does. If he doesn’t come across as so negative, he could get some real support in these times.
Voting third paarty is self-defeating and only keeps the fascists in power... historically third parties benefit the democrat in any election — the latest example is Norm Coleman and Al Franken, without a third party Coleman likely would have won and we wouldn’t have an idiot on his way to DC any day now.
Actually I don’t respond to “sources” or “link please”. You keyboarded yourself here. Keyboard Ron Paul and anti-Semite and tell me how much you found. He’s an anti-Semite PERIOD!!!
If he ain’t, he can sue me. But truth is always a defense.
Either way, no one "owns" votes. Neither Coleman nor Franken were entitled to the votes of anyone who voted for Dean Barkley. Candidates should have to earn them.
