Title: Unhappy With Rand Paul, Libertarians Consider Running Candidate In Kentucky Senate Race

FRANKFORT, Ky. — The Libertarian Party is considering running a candidate in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race, saying GOP nominee Rand Paul — the son of a former Libertarian presidential candidate — has betrayed the party’s values.

Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch said Wednesday that Paul has been a black eye for Libertarians because of stands he’s taken on issues, including his criticism of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Koch said Paul is not a Libertarian. He called Paul and his Democratic opponent, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway, “faces of the same bad coin.”

Rand Paul’s father was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988. He is currently a Republican member of Congress from Texas.

I wonder who they might pick to run. If s/he's a legit candidate it could hurt Paul and probably elect the Dim.

To All Members Effective at noon today, August 29, 2009, I tender my resignation as vice-chairman of the Libertarian Party of Kentucky. Some of us have discussed this in private, but I will make the explanation clear for the record. In order to protect the LPKY, we must comply with the draconian and tyrannical mandates of the FEC and the McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act of 2003. I will be working as a volunteer for Rand Paul's campaign, so I must step down.

For my part, I am glad to have served with such a bright and motivated collection of freedom activists as yourselves. It has been an honor to work with you, and I'm sure we will continue to advance the cause of liberty side-by-side in the years to come. I remain committed to the ideals that we all hold dear, and I look forward to seeing the growth of the LPKY over the years. Our beliefs that the individual will always be more important than the state constitute the only path to a brighter and freer tomorrow, and I am glad that Kentucky has a party dedicated to that belief. Thank you for all that you do.

Liberty forever,

K. Joshua Koch

Feels more like Rand Paul didn't give him something he wanted after winning the primary...

For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.
