Kentucky Republican Party is Blocking all Liberty Candidates!

[awake]

Liberty-phobia. The fear that other people won't want you to enslave them.

Most likely he means that Chris Hightower is not getting any support from the Kentucky state GOP, which I can definitely see. In Kentucky, the only way you get support for "out-of-the-box" thinking Republicans is if you force them to support them, like we did with Thomas Massie. Otherwise, they will protect their establishment backsides like their lives depended on it.

That's not limited to Kentucky. It's ubiquitous. The Old Guard isn't going to give up power just because we have some enthusiasm and principles. We'll have to fight, everywhere.

Bump. Just had to buy more signs and Radio started this week. Without party help he's in position to win!

Everyone here should chip in $10 for Hightower!

I think this forum only thinks about federal races to be honest. Look at any state races, they usually get panned.

Glen Bradley comes to mind. I don't think people here cared much about his run.

Between Glen and Chris we have two loyal posters that are up and coming through the ranks.

There a bunch of grassroots in Ky voting for GJ but you're correct.

Gary WHO?


Hahaha

People cared, but with Ron running they were more stretched, and it was billed as not too likely, and due more to his being redistricted than to expectation that he would win. I hope he runs again in 2014.

He has raised for $6,572 and change right now.

Wow BamaFanNKy is giving news and getting nothing but crap for it, you guys really need to chill.

 

[steph3n]

I saw it, thanks Chris, I was too busy fighting with BamaFan.

And you never should have been fighting with bamafan to start with, it was senseless.

Support the guys in KY, and everywhere, they aren't getting the establishment $$ so we have to make up for it, that is the 'long' and the 'short' story of it all!

BamaFanNKy provided faulty news.

 

[steph3n]

BamaFanNKy provided faulty news.

No, not faulty news, the GOP money people are not supporting the liberty candidates.

Frank, you'd be shocked how I have news before senior staffers of the Paul movement have it. Happened last week. Someone called me to ask "HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND THAT OUT." I swear, No Collins either. I'm just a guy people tend to tell stuff to. Helps I have friends at all walks of the political spectrum.

The truth is treason on Ron Paul forums. Whoever rated this thread down should be ashamed.

Thanks for your work and giving the news to us rapidly and correctly. Even if some here don't appreciate the truth and the message you bring, it is needed. Money is needed for the liberty candidates.

Um. I don't know if it's Rand, Jesse Benton or Chris' speeches at Fancy Farm around Mitch McConnell..... but he just maxed out with a $2,000 donation to Chris. That's just weird.
