Houston Chronicle: Rand Paul Ready to Enter GOP Primary for Bunning's Seat

0 votes

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Republican Rand Paul, son of former presidential candidate Ron Paul, said Friday he is poised to enter the race for U.S. Sen. Jim Bunning's seat if the 77-year-old sports icon decides to retire.

"I've been traveling the state and giving speeches as if there is going to be a race," he told The Associated Press. "Every bone in my body says there is going to be a race."

Will Rand announce this Thursday?

Rand Paul, son of Congressman Ron Paul, gauges support for Senate run in Bowling Green & Paducah!
 
Some politicians feel the need to travel to Washington, DC to ask permission to run for office or to obtain some regal blessing.  Rand Paul, this week, will travel to Teresa's Diner at 509 Gordon Ave Bowling Green to gauge support for a possible US Senate Run.  Dr. Paul will be there for breakfast at 7AM Thursday May 7th.
 
May 8th, Dr. Paul will go to Paducah to speak to supporters.  He will speak at the Gazebo (4PM) at 2nd and Broadway.
 
Wouldn't it be great if politicians spent more time getting the approval of Kentuckians, and less time being "anointed" in DC?
 
We'd love to see you there; some of us still believe in elections not coronations.

*Dr. Rand Paul is an eye surgeon from Bowing Green, and the son of former Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul.

*Dr. Rand Paul is the founder and chairman of Kentucky Taxpayers United.

Ready for a new campaign!

I'm so ready to work on this campaign. We have been encouraging Rand to run since the primary.

While our legislature was in session, a few of my friends were in F'fort testifying on bills and got a short meeting with Grayson to talk about a certain bill. He seemed surprised when they pointed out to him that it was unconstitutional and cited the places where it violated our state constitution. Grayson admitted to them he hadn't even read the Kentucky Constitution.

Exactly!

How many terms did Obama serve....?

Any thing can happen.

President Rand Paul, 45th U.S. president

Has a ring to it.

Well if he wins that Kentucky senate seat in 2010...you never know!

A Paul/ Paul ticket

A farther and son President and VP

That would be so cool. Which

That would be so cool. Which would be which? I have heard that a Congressman has never gotten the presidency, only Senators have. Of course, there is always a first time for everything.

I wonder how much money we

I wonder how much money we can raise for junior?

Run, Rand, run....

Best guess ...

It will cost more for Rand to win the primary than it will for him to win the general. So if there is going to be money bombs, they will have to be early.

Grayson's key supporters are in the North and that falls into the Metropolitan area of Cincinnati. That market, besides louisville, is the only expensive area to run in. Louisville will be a small turn out on the Republican primary, so the north is key.

In the general, if he wins the primary, he won't win Louisville so all he has to do is minimize losses there.

This will be doable if he gets in. It will be a long shot, but doable.

I give him odds of 10% right now if he gets in. Remember where Dr. Paul started out. 2% at best.

At the press conference where he announces his entrance into the race, the very next sentence needs to connect Grayson to the banking interest. That is an absolute must. If he fails to do that, his odds of winning plummet.

WAHOR!!

Sending out emails to my friends.

Most of them were not persuaded a year ago. Now I'm starting up the dfwrider propaganda machine once again. I just sent this one out to my (mostly RINO) friends:

Subject: Rand Paul will be running for Bunning's Senate seat.

.....People that haven't been born yet, are already being saddled with this country's debt. How can that be representative? Thanks to Republicans, Democrats, and Congress alike, we've been digging this hole for the last 30 years, accelerating the pace year after year.

We can't afford our foreign policy of being the interventionist policeman of the world.

We can't afford our domestic policy of being cradle to grave nanny state.

I hate Republican and Democrat politicians for the most part. Want to know when a politician is lying? When his lips are moving.

Rand is among a handful that I respect.

Do something good. Help this man get elected, by sending him some cash, when the time comes.

I pledge my life's fortune to the Cause!!!!

RJ Harris

I don't know about RJ Harris, and I have serious questions about the advice Schiff is giving his clients right now.

Rand Paul though....hell yes!

if we can't support RJ's messge

what exactly are we supporting?

buying foreign stocks that

buying foreign stocks that pay high dividends, in companies with a good track record?

I'm not a client, but I've read his book, and I've seen his videos and posts.

Is he telling his clients something different?

I basically agree with that strategy, and If I had millions of dollars I'd probably manage half according to Schiff's vision, and one fourth would be in gold and silver bullion, and the last fourth would be in property, but the property would have had to be purchased pre-bubble, say 2000 and below, or after 2010.

Thank you for your site. I

love it.

clients

Well I've heard his clients were down more than 50% in 2008, and buying foreign stock in 2008 was a bad idea seeing how the dollar stregthened in that year.

Peter Schiff was predicting decoupling, and maybe he's right in the long, long term, but right now all anyone who gives him their money is seeing is losses. He has his share of critics too even Libertarian ones.

BTW- did you give him YOUR MONEY?

I bought gold and silver as

I bought gold and silver and that is what he suggests unless your a millionaire. Have you ever taken the time to listen to his response to the very critique you just mentioned? People who bought anything in 2008 lost money. Oh and when would be the best time to sell a stock that pays you 10-30% of your investment annually just to keep it?

In other news last week, China Is Considering Replacing The Dollar
http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=17316

How long is long, long?

clients

He's not telling his clients to only buy gold.

People who call into his show even tell him and he admits they were down in 2008 probably in the range of 40%-50%.

Why isn't decoupling happening huh?

IT'S NOT. The dollar is strengthening. Why was he telling his investors with 100% assurance, no wiggle room, peddle to the meddle anti-dollar strategy when that turned out to be poor advice?

Sorry, I fell you're posting misinformation

I follow Peter pretty closely... Sure, he's had people call on his show and tell him they were down huge. He's later investigated this and finds they are way over exaggerating. Although, one kid that was down, and who's data that Mish guy used in his blog ripping Peter for being wrong, was down huge. Peter investigated that kids acct and found that he entered the market at the worst possible time AND he invested in high risk/reward stocks. You can't judge Peter's investing advice over a 6 month or even 1 year timeframe. He's looking 5+ years. Do you really think total decoupling is going to happen in 1 year? However, hasn't it already been reported that China is overtaking the US in auto sales already? I'd say the decoupling already begun...
