The Rally for the Republicans at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center isn’t your standard rubber-chicken campaign event. Frank Simon, a Louisville religious-right leader known for his strong opposition to gay marriage, leads the crowd of 800 in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Rev. Jerry Stephenson, a conservative black pastor, delivers the invocation, asking “Father God” to “help us start a revolution.” Then the Grammy-nominated rock and reggae singer Aimee Allen, decked out in tattoos, patterned stockings, and high-top sneakers, performs a three-song set, culminating in an anthem helped along by the candidate’s sons on acoustic guitars: “We don’t want no war no more / Bring our boys home to our shore.”
This improbable opening is topped off by the Rev. Jeff Fugate, the right-wing pastor of Clays Mill Road Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky. Unlike the previous act, Fugate doesn’t sing about the PATRIOT Act or inciting a riot. Instead he gives a Falwellesque speech about restoring American values.
Nearly an hour later, the audience, which paid $25 a head, is treated to the main event: Rand Paul, a candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, making his first joint appearance with his famous father, Ron Paul, the libertarian presidential candidate and 11-term GOP congressman from Texas.

Rand Paul has managed to tap into his father’s national following of libertarians and anti-war advocates without (so far) alienating traditional Republicans in the Blue Grass State.”
This is a Reagan-esque achievement. I could be persuaded....when all those on the “right” (broadly defined) unite, the left loses, and America wins.
Rand Paul is a LUNATIC that hangs out with the traitor ADAM KOKESH!!!
“I am not trying to splinter off into a smaller and smaller group. I am trying to create a force than can win an election.”
THAT is a great quote from the younger Dr. Paul....
Like we have so many choices, Trey Grayson is a RINO that hung out with Bill Clinton.
You have a choice: Vote for someone who IGNORES TREASON, and OPEN treason at that, or hold your nose and vote for a RINO.
You gonna vote for TREASON???
And the difference is? One just takes a little longer to shove that dagger in your back.
