All We Need is a $6 Million Money Bomb to get Senator Rand Paul. Must Read

That Jesse Benton nor any of the other abysmal failures that ran Ron Paul's presidential campaign into the ground are associated with this effort.

If those bozos are on board, I'm going to donate to grass roots efforts instead.

BENTON SUCKS!

My brother-in-law just won the Republican nomination for a district office of his state senate (60% to 40%). He was outspent more than 5 to 1 in the two races (having come in second 27% to 45%---roughly according to my memory----in the initial election). How did he come from behind so dramatically to win against an established and older lawyer/political hack? Answer: Word got around that the other guy was getting big bucks from outside the district, and especially from a P.A.C. of Democrats in the state capital. (That was one major factor as I understand it, and another was that my brother-in-law's opponent was a total jerk and participating in very totalitarian/oppressive local politics---confiscating land from individuals illegally through imminent domain and stuff like that.)

In any case, big dollar support *can* backfire.

a $6 million money bomb is completely inappropriate.

ron was running for president of the united states. rand is (hopefully) running for a senate seat.

it's not the same at all and should not be treated as such.

and to those of you who question rand's philosophy as compared to his father then perhaps you ought to do some research.

i truly believe he is a good man like his dad.

Ron Paul is my President

120,000 or so CFL members @ 50 bucks a head...

that'll do some damage.

count us in.

Ron Paul for POTUS 2012

Jim Bunning Will Run For Reelection, Despite Cratering GOP support.

WASHINGTON — A Republican family feud in Kentucky is creating headaches for GOP leaders struggling to position themselves for a congressional comeback in 2010, a year that already seems aligned against them.

Out of power and facing several potentially tough races in the next election cycle, Republican leaders have been sending not-so-subtle messages to Sen. Jim Bunning that they would like for him to retire. Bunning, 77, is considered the most vulnerable Republican incumbent running for re-election next year.

But Bunning, a famously irascible former pitcher enshrined in baseball's Hall of Fame, is digging in. He insists he will run despite lackluster fundraising and is rebuking those who suggest he shouldn't.

It's an uncomfortable situation for Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, also a Kentucky Republican, who just won his own bruising re-election. But Republicans may have to employ a scorched-earth strategy if they want to make even modest gains in the Senate next year.

Republicans are coming off back-to-back losses that cost them control of Congress and the presidency. Next year, they will have to defend seats in several competitive states with no incumbents, including Florida, Ohio, Missouri and New Hampshire.

"If we're serious about a comeback _ and we must be _ then we'll all do what's necessary to get there," McConnell told his colleagues at the Republican National Committee's winter meeting last month.

Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."

Well, I guess he called that one.

The CfL must support Rand. He appears principled and honest like his father. Almost a spitting image of Dr. Paul. As soon as he commits I will be sending him money.

P.S. Can we spiff the guy up a bit? Looks like he buys his suits from his dad's tailor. Just a thought....
