Kentucky Third Parties Clear the Way for Rand Paul

The Libertarian Party of Kentucky recently held its nominating convention for 2010 elections and failed to nominate a candidate for Senate. Similarly, the Constitution Party of Kentucky is rumored to be avoiding the Senate race ostensibly because of Rand Paul’s presence in that race. Rand Paul, a Republican candidate for the open U.S. Senate seat in Kentucky is currently ahead in polling by double digits and is largely considered the frontrunner. Rand Paul is the son of Congressman and former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Ron Paul.

K. Joshua Koch, vice chair of the Kentucky Libertarian Party, was an early supporter of the younger Paul’s run for Senate. George Whitfield, one of the organizers of the Libertarian Party meetups in Kentucky, was also an early supporter and made a donation to Rand Paul’s exploratory committee.

Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party’s 2008 Presidential nominee, has had good things to say about Rand Paul too, calling him a “sincere conservative-libertarian”, in contrast to “Big Government neocon” John McCain.

Rand Paul is considered a friend to ballot-access reformers according to Richard Winger, editor of Ballot Access News. He is well-educated on the unjustness of current ballot access laws.

If Tea Party Candidates can’t win a Republican Primary, what makes them think they can win a general election?

Face it folks, we’re a TWO PARTY system. If you want your ideas advanced, TAKE OVER one the TWO parties... That’s what the moonbats did. And, look who has ALL the power today

I'm asking a question.

I'm just curious to see whether or not you'll be honest enough to answer it.

"Obviously the onus of blame rests with those who perpetrate acts of terror, regardless of their motivation. The question Scheuer and I are asking is not who is morally responsible for terrorism -- only a fool would place the moral responsibility for terrorism on anyone other than the terrorists themselves." -- Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto

So, let me ask you to agree with one of the following statements:

• I agree with Ron Paul, that "only a fool would place the moral responsibility for terrorism on anyone other than the terrorists themselves".

  OR...

• I disagree with Ron Paul, and do "place the moral responsibility for terrorism on someone other than the terrorists themselves".

Well, which is it?

He did not, and does not.

He sure did, cut and run said it was America that forced the terrorist to do what they did.
Like I said, Dr. Blame America First says many things. He says one thing one day and somethine else on another day. He is as wishy washy and as big a coward as obeyme.

Nope. Ron Paul never said that America "forced" Bin Laden to do anything. You just made that up, and you know it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, which is it, La Enchiladita? Let us know where you stand.

Oh, good grief, can you believe he thinks you or any of us are that stupid? As I've said, I have yet to meet a Paulbot who doesn't think he or she is intellectually superior to everyone around them.

This is an an old Democrat trick - posing questions in a manner that has their interpretation all over it, thereby preventing any far more rational explanation you would have. Sheesh.

Try your clipboard organ grinder quiz on some other monkey, moonbat.

We all know if Pauley Girl had his way, we’d have legal brothels next to schools, heroin for sale at 7-Elevens and NO OVERSEAS ALLIES!

Change out your bong water every now and then.

[bamahead]

No, the Libertarians -— such as Rand Paul -— need to run as Libertarians and get out of the Republican Party. Period.

You sound like a RINO lover who's quickly realizing his RINO loving days of voting for more estblishment GOP RINO's are quickly nearing their end. Enjoy your last hurrah.

Goodness. Here's Ron Paul with his good buddy and fellow surrenderist Dennis Kucinich. Ain't a dime's worth of difference between the foreign policy stances of Paleos and the Stalinist Kucinich/Cynthia McKinney wing of the Democrat party.

Third party candidates are a Democrats dream , divide and conquer . Soros is probably a big supporter .

I did not make anything up. This is what cut and run said, "They attacked us because we've been over there, we"ve been bombing Iraq for ten years."
Iraq did not comply with the cease fire agreement. What was America supposed to do? I know, in Ron Pauls's utopia, we were just supposed to pretend it didn't happen.

What else would you expect from a paulbot?

When it comes to integrity....very, very little.

Rand made it on his own without his father's help or machine

Incredible that have the the audacity to make such a comment - either you are beyond ignorant or being very dishonest to make such a comment. Rand Paul has raised all of his money from his Daddy's machine and gotten all of the free liberal media publicity by being "Ron Paul's son." He's gotten everything from that. No would know or even care that he's running otherwise.

[gidget7]

BINGO!

[gidget7]

I have listened to Paul and read almost everything he has written as well as his policies etc, and I don’t live in KY, YET, but all who I know there say he has there vote, and if I lived there, he would have mine as well. No son is an exact carbon of his father, on every issue, every time.

[Republican Wildcat]

Yes, Rand Paul is leading because he has managed to convince people he is something that he has not with all of his flip flopping on the issues and falsely typecasting Trey Grayson. He is ahead at the moment by being able to convince people he is something that he is not - a conservative. Some bragging rights when your strength of support is based on a foundation of lies.

[Republican Wildcat]

You sound like someone who can’t make anything but cliche, boilerplate arguments.
