His son Rand’s campaign for Senate in Kentucky is going better than anyone could have expected — every Kentuckian I met at the National Tea Party Convention backed him — but Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is drawing three primary opponents for his own re-election bid. Ironically, all three are from the Tea Party movement, which, as reporter Tom Benning points out, would be hard to imagine without the energy stirred up by Paul’s 2008 presidential bid.
They obviously hate America and the Constitution.[/paulestinian]
Apart from being dupes for the neocon Zionist cabal infiltrating America, what could possibly be their motive?
The criticism is, to say the least, ironic. Almost nothing that Paul does cuts against the rhetoric of the Tea Party movement that is mentioned most in the press: responsible spending and adherence to the Constitution. But some of it does cut against the priorities of national security conservatives and partisan Republicans.
There is one thing Paul does that might backfire. While Paul votes against basically all spending bills, he notoriously gets earmark requests into those bills, so that local projects survive when other members vote those bills through. That barely dinged Paul in 2008, but it may become an issue now.

Rand is almost as nutty as his old man. Guess the whole nut-tree thing is true after all.

Sorry, he really IS as nutty as his old man. Pulls a lot of the same crowd, too...(think "Stormfront")
And Palin was dead wrong to endorse him.
