FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The Libertarian Party is considering running a candidate in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race, saying GOP nominee Rand Paul -- the son of a former Libertarian presidential candidate -- has betrayed the party's values.

Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch said Wednesday that Paul has been a black eye for Libertarians because of stands he's taken on issues, including his criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Koch said Paul is not a Libertarian. He called Paul and his Democratic opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, "faces of the same bad coin."

And this is why the LP will never get more than 1% of the vote. Because they make the GOP actually look smart sometimes.

The Libertarian Party is considering running a candidate in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race because they are just that *ucking stupid.

Joshua Koch is a very noble shill :-)

[jessduntno]

Hey, maybe they can get Ross Perot to run, too...

[Praxeologue]

Legalize weed. That’s Koch’s hot button.

I wish some one in KY would kick the a-hole in the shorts and make him see the light. F’ing moron.

Koch had strong criticism for Paul, who won the Republican Senate nomination last week by trouncing the GOP establishment candidate, Secretary of State Trey Grayson.

"He had gone from being an outsider candidate to a tea party candidate to an establishment candidate in the past nine months," Koch said. "It's a complete identity crisis. I've never seen anything like it."

He must not have been looking very heard, then. Most "outsider" politicians undergo that metamorphosis -- in many cases, the time required is closer to nine days than to nine months.

So Rand Paul isn’t a liberaltarian? And here I thought being a disciple of Ayn Rand automatically made you one.

They are doing it on purpose in this case.

Losertarians about to fratricide their own. Then smugly claim it wasn’t their fault.

[FreedomPoster]

And you are far, far too kind.

And here we see yet another reason why my Party membership has been lapsed since 2001.

The National LP took a hard Left turn into kook-ville and never looked back.

Sad, because libertarianism itself isn't a bad political philosophy and meshes quite well with the Constitution despite it's detractors constant attempts to malign it.

The Libertarian Party Platform calls for anarchy.

It has no connection with the Founding Fathers.

Considering half the Libertarian voters in Kentucky will be voting for Ron Paul, I predict that the order for the next gathering of Libertarians will be two, instead of three, large meat lovers pizzas and a single order of breadsticks at the corner table in the North Paducah Pizza Hut. The three pitchers of beer will not be affected, however.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Sorry, Rand Paul, not Ron Paul. (Learn to proofread ASB!)

[TheBigIf]

So the LP in Kentucky does not believe in the ‘right to association’? They believe in the Federal government dictating to private businesses who they must associate with?

Libertarians may run Senate candidate in Ky.

Are these idiots on crack??!! They've finally got a libertarian-ish guy running on one of the two major tickets and they're doing the best they can to make sure he doesn't' get elected! D'oh! Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
