Rand Paul Faces Possible Libertarian Challenge

"A week after a come-from-behind victory over the GOP's establishment candidate in a Kentucky Senate primary, Rand Paul is facing a possible challenge by the Libertarian Party and is shaking up his staff after comments he made about racial segregation caused a firestorm.

Despite his pedigree as the son of former Libertarian presidential candidate Ron Paul, Libertarian Vice Chairman Joshua Koch said Rand Paul has betrayed the party's values with stands he's taken, and they were considering finding a candidate to run for the seat."

"Rand Paul doesn’t actually have many libertarian views and is actually just another teabagging wingnut with a melange of corporatist and paleocon ideals." - John Cole

Paul hasn't so much betrayed the Libertarian party as made an ass out of it by not being able to explain his position.

Just as bad, I guess.

Anyway, the man seems to be a bigot and a moron. Here's my video response to him:

Tea Party for Title 2

bondwooley: So sad you are. Bigot? Moron? You read, watch and believe the new too much. You might want to read the entire speech before heading jumping to conclusions and heading into the unknown with name calling and insults.

Meteorlady. your comments about spending peoples' money highlights your massive ignorance to who runs up debt in America.

Bush cut taxes and spent trillions on 2 wars and domestic spending. That's why we have deficits now. Under Clinton we had a surplus.

Bush wrote IOUs that the Chinese bought. The US will be paying them back, with interest, for decades.

You should get a clue.
