Sorry, but he’s got all of his father’s backers behind him and the same paleo whackaloon fundraising network
No one from his father's campaign is advising him - his old man is providing ZERO assistance. Those "whackaloons" are the Tea Partiers, who are out there protesting the big spending and big gov't. The same volunteers and supporters who did in fact support Ron Paul and now are coming out for Palin.
benefitting blatantly from nepotism
Again, Rand's father played no role in his decision to run for Senate.
while having next to zero qualifications to go for the Senate.
He's an eye surgeon, that's good enough for me. I'm glad he's not a career politician or RNC insider. Funny how you're supporting the establishment hack (Grayson) who used to be a Democrat.
What work has he done in the trenches for KY Republicans?
That's relevant to him running for Senate, how?
Are you aware of the anti-Washington mood in this country, that people are tired of insiders and party back-scratchers?
It’s like what Eddie McCormack said to Ted Kennedy, if his name were Eddie Moore, he wouldn’t even be taken seriously as a candidate.
Hey, Rand can't pick and choose his parents you know.
Oh, please. He wouldn't be running were it not for his father. He wouldn't be able to get out of the gate. Just like the Eddie Moore scenario I said above. He's using his father's fundraising network, his father's supporters. Without them, he'd be no more higher profile than the 3rd candidate in the race.
"Those "whackaloons" are the Tea Partiers, who are out there protesting the big spending and big gov't. The same volunteers and supporters who did in fact support Ron Paul and now are coming out for Palin."
I support the Tea Partiers, I also absolutely oppose Paul and Paleo-Libertarians. They are a clear and present danger to our national security, no different than the Kucinich wing of the Democrat party.
"Again, Rand's father played no role in his decision to run for Senate."
Baloney.
"He's an eye surgeon, that's good enough for me. I'm glad he's not a career politician or RNC insider. Funny how you're supporting the establishment hack (Grayson) who used to be a Democrat."
He's Ron Paul's boy first and foremost. He ain't just some lowly "eye surgeon." Oh, or have you forgotten my neighboring state had a heart surgeon for Senator with literally no prior experience. He was also a disaster who couldn't handle the Democrat opposition. As for the last comment, so was Ronald Reagan. I guess he should've been instantly disqualified from running for Governor in '66 because he had been a Democrat, too, not even a whole decade earlier. Don't think you know much about KY politics.
"That's relevant to him running for Senate, how?"
Because he's done nothing to earn the job. No work in the trenches, no work for other candidates in KY. This guy popped out of the blue, using his name and pop's connections to try to buy the nomination from the most qualified candidate in the race. I've got a big problem with that. We don't know WHERE this man stands, I can only go by whom he associates with in his candidacy, and the Paul people have quite the infamous reputation. I vigorously oppose Ron Paul as a nutter and dangerous, definitely the anti-Reagan.
"Hey, Rand can't pick and choose his parents you know."
Yeah. Yet he sure ain't hesistating to use his father's fundraising network and supporters. Nice try.
Your arguments continue to be embarrassing - Rand Paul is getting all of his seed money from the national network of conspiracy loons that was set up to support his father, most of whom have probably never set foot in the state of Kentucky.
