Despite some potential misgivings about Rand Paul as a candidate, I will be voting for him for the simple reason that every law enforcement agency in the state has sided with Conway. If cops unanimously support a particular candidate, surely said candidate is an immoral statist ready to use cops violently in order to support […]

From the Marijuana Policy Project: Back in May, when Kentucky Republican Rand Paul defeated an establishment candidate to win his party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, I pointed out that one of the issues Paul used to win over voters was his support of medical marijuana laws. Now, in a telling political move, the son […]

And no I’m not talking about ObamaCare this time, but Rand Paul.  I was of the mind that he represents a very good chance at getting a consistently pro-liberty senator in the federal government.  But with each piece of news I hear since his slaughter of republitard establishment favorite Grayson, I lean more towards the […]

Roger Alford of the AP via The Lexington Herald-Leader: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul reached out to gun advocates on Saturday, trying to shore up support from a major voting bloc in Kentucky. . . .

Bill Estep via The Lexington Herald-Leader on recent meetings between Rand Paul and the establishment party hacks Paul ran against in the Kentucky Senatorial primaries: But Paul ran outside the party establishment, against a man endorsed by leaders of that establishment and without the support of many in the party structure. “It happened, and we’ve […]

Libertarian Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch in an interview with The Washington Post: The reason why we would even consider running somebody in this race is because we’re not going to let Rand determine what a Libertarian stands for . . . I’m here to say Rand does not have the Libertarian ideology. Though Paul […]

Leavy via Politico: So Paul stands foursquare for civil rights but acknowledges the Civil Rights Act’s possible disconnect from the Constitution. His […]

Some Douchebag at Salon: Organizers surround Kentucky’s GOP office and decry Rand Paul’s criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. . . . About 20 protesters gathered outside, some with signs accusing Paul of racism. I’m wondering a couple of things about Salon’s commentary here.  Some things just don’t add up.  1)  His stance on […]

Gabriel Winant of Salon: It’s time to stop taking libertarianism seriously. So let me see if I can follow your argument (considering I’m apparently so fucking stupid as to actually subscribe to libertarian thought).  Libertarianism is so stupid, juvenile, selfish and bratty that we should all stop taking it seriously, yet Salon has been actively […]
