Check out this article written about the other Republican candidates' views of Rand's official campaign announcement. Especially Trey Grayson's, his big opponent. Notice the initial insulting remark, followed by self-righteous-false-sincerity. http://kywordsmith.com/#/johnsonreaction/4535048563 » |

Grayson is NWO all the way.
Just read this official bio of him.
http://www.sos.ky.gov/secdesk/biography.htm
He's President of the National Association of Secretaries of State, which is the "top down" way that the Feds disseminate their instructions to all the Secretaries of State, and have them implemented at the State level.
He's also was selected for the "inaugural class" of 2005, for the Aspen-Rodel Fellowships in Public Leadership.
That is named and sponsored by the Aspen Institute, aka the "American Tavistock", which is the belly of the beast for mind-control operations of the NWO in the US.
This guy couldn't get any more NWO, but he's probably trying.
Grayson must be defeated.
Rand Paul is our chance to prevent the advancement of a major NWO "rising star" and this could be a real important victory for a freedom candidate over the NWO.
Bump
!
whatever--just dump so much money on rand that he is in 1st
living in kentucky for years...one knows this is just nothing...
The real battle is yet to come and in kentucky style it will have no limits
Donate heavily and go viral for Rand's money bomb at the end of the month everyone...
This will decide his campaign...he must take the lead.
Class act.
I wonder if he wrote that himself or farmed the work out to a 6th grader.
If your getting flack ...
it means you're over the target:)
Good
Nice quote.

It was ...
a poor choice of words by Hightower and I would say he knows that. Lesson learned. Having said that, in terms of that blog, I bet those 12 people who view that particular site have a poor impression:) The CNN write up on the front page was awesome. Wasn't a great day yesterday with the gaff, but a better day today with some good interviews.
Miscalibrated
"We think it's a national race; we want to take it to the people and in some of these larger cities," campaign spokesman Christopher Hightower said. "If he makes it to the Senate and votes in D.C., he'll vote for people in New York and in California. His vote matters that much."
Either Mr. Hightower needs to learn to calibrate his words, or Rand Paul better get a new campaign spokesman ASAP. That's not exactly a sound bite that will play well in Kentucky. What the ... ?
That's the "national" campaign being run.
Basically he's saying the people of Kentucky are being used to support the agenda of people in other places. So a Kentucky voter is being told to vote for Rand Paul so he can represent others.
Whatever happened to the concept of representative government? You know where a Kentucky senator represents the people of Kentucky.
At least the Rand Paul campaign is candid about the campaign.
In a previous thread I said if Rand declared in NYC, it would be a fatal mistake. His campaign spokesman made it worse, much worse.
If Rand Paul is going to represent people in New York or California, he should run for office there.
PS "calibrate his words"? When you calibrate manure, in the end it's still manure.
Rand did announce in KY first, in Bowling Green!
John B, you are highly mistaken and so is Bill Johnson, the "lesser" known Senate candidate. Rand did officially announce his candidacy on WBKO, the Bowling Green news-channel FIRST, before he flew off to New York. You can view the video at: http://www.wbko.com/video/?clipId=4018317&clipFormat=flv&top.... He actually says toward the end of the video, "This is the first interview today that I'm announcing my official candidacy." Now, it's not Rand's fault if he is invited to New York, it's not Rand's fault if he has the opportunity to appear on national tv. And it's not Rand's fault if more people saw the national tv announcement before they saw the local one (obviously this is expected). In fact, it makes more sense for Rand to announce on national tv since the majority of Kentuckians DON'T GET BOWLING GREEN NEWS CHANNELS!
Thanks for the correction,
but it still remains, I and I suspect most Kentuckians heard the news from NYC. You announce in your own district or state with a press conference or something. This is politics 101. He needs to decide whether he wants to be senator of America or senator of Kentucky. If he chooses the former, he has little chance.
..But wouldn't you agree
..But wouldn't you agree that more people watch national news over local news? If Rand held a press conference in Bowling Green is there any guarantee it would've been reported on Lexington's news? I just think announcing nationally is smarter, because more people in Kentucky will know about it faster. But who knows... I just hope it doesn't come around and bite him.
Outsider Rand Paul
Grayson has already portrayed Rand as an outsider. Making announcements in NYC feeds that perception.
Kentucky is parochial, no doubt about it. Until Rand passes the "he's one of us test", he won't be viable. Yes, issues count, but the #1 issue is identity.If Paul fails there, he fails.
The Grayson campaign made a very good statement, something to the effect, Grayson and the people of Kentucky were looking forward to getting to know Rand Paul. In other words Paul is a stranger to Kentuckians.Of course Grayson doesn't want to anger Paul supporters. He'll need them in the Fall.
If Paul is a threat we can count on TV ads showing Paul in NYC.
People around America are not going to be voting, meaning if Paul is going to be successful he must compete on Kentucky's terms.
But you could be right that Rand Paul can win by running a "national" campaign, just don't remember anyone doing it that way. This will be interesting.
Grayson has no chance
He's a neocon from hell.
He'll be lucky if he doesn't drop out from lack of support before it's even time to vote.
fie on your facts
Someone's fuh-fuh-fuh-feelings got hurt!

I agree with you. That was a
I agree with you. That was a really stupid choice of words. Maybe if he had said something like When he votes for what the people of Kansas want he may be voting for regular people from everywhere because most people want freedom.
the first part of johnson's comment
was ridiculous and the second part did not even come close to making sense.
how insiduous!
he made his announcement in NY... The gall!
Trey needs to worry....

Bit off topic, but the quote above is actually Thomas Paine writing his pamphlet The Crisis, not Patrick Henry.
