"Rand Paul's statements regarding all forms of discrimination are not consistent with, nor do they reflect the views of, the Libertarian Party of Kentucky," said K. Joshua Koch, vice chair of the state party, in a news release.

Anyone from KY libertarian party on this site? This looks very strange. Is it "Libertarian for Commerce Clause" branch of the party?

Looks like the party needs new vice chair.

Maybe they were listening to Conway lie, then reading the false NY Times article.

If they saw the actual show..... then I don't know what.........

Koch...like, from the family the Kochtopus was named after?

Wonderful campaign strategy.

Well, that would certainly explain it, if it were.

as a member of the LP, I can say that a lot of our members are fucking retarded. this just proves the point.
some of these jerk-offs actually put party before principle. it is disgusting.

I don't get it. Are they mad because they didn't think he stood up for "property rights" or because they didn't think he condemned all forms of racism hard enough? If the former, why don't they have the guts to say that? If the latter, then did they miss where he said he was against discrimination? That's just bizarre. Well I guess they'll be missed...all 10 of them.

You have to wonder? Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Geez, nothing like getting eaten up by your own. I thought the military was the only organization that did that . . .

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Why would something a member of the Republican Party say reflect anything on the Libertarian Party?

 

[TheTyke]

That dude has a burr under his saddle. He's been irrationally attacking Rand since December, and exaggerating his own importance... nothing to see here.

 

[HPK]

So they rather have Conway? Actions speak when there are in-actions. What responsible citizens?!:Confused?! I hope they are proud of their stupid decision?!

 

[libertythor]

I hope that rank and file LP members vote out the party officers at the next KY state convention. There are other issues that the LP could criticize, and this stance they took isn't consistent with the LP philosophy on property rights.

 

[jmdrake]

I bet they wouldn't have even quoted the LP if Rand was behind 20 points or if the LP had something positive to say.

I thought it was his libertarian views on discrimination that got him in hot water with the more PC mainstream folks.... Now the libertarians are feeding on their own.... Excuse my ignorance on all this libertarian stuff.
I just don't buy into the more neo-conish Republican conservative stuff, but every time I think I have libertarianism figured out, I'm back to square one.
I just support Ron and Rand. Ron is Neo con free and I can put up with his version of libertarianism since it is prolife and Rand, though not always neocon free enough for everyone here is more where I am coming from. Hell, neocon -free, it's like I'm comparing coffees or something. Bottom line is I hate globalists and supported Ron in 08 and Rand in the primary and now too. Nobody's perfect, least of all me.
Maybe my standards are too low or I don't have enough of them. Whatever...
2 to 10 percent in elections isn't going to get us there but maybe I am willing to compromise more here than many. Not meaning anything, just voicing my confusion.
I've coexisted here since 07 and accept everyone's views. I just seem to be somewhere in the no mans land between libertarian and neocon lite.

It is not clear, who are you talking about. Hopefully you are not on the sauce!

A lot of this stems from the fact that the Libertarian Party does not really represent most libertarians. It's so bad that a lot of libertarians make sure to qualify themselves as "small 'l'" libertarians, because the actual party is such an unprincipled, equivocating, contradictory embarrassment.

If you want a term to classify your views, it sounds like you're a paleoconservative.

What do you consider 'Neocon-Lite'?

 

[MichelleHeart]

The Libertarian Party is about as libertarian as Reason magazine. (Speaking of Reason, someone from the publication bashed Rand Paul recently.)

 

[freedoms-light]

What do you consider 'Neocon-Lite'?

Rand would be just below neocon lite. Ron is way below it. I'm a bit nearer, but still below that level.

Neo con to me wants world domination at all costs.
Neo con lite may use preemptive war selectively when a threat is perceived.
Would be very rarly used if ever.
neocon lite does not want bases all over the globe.
neocon lite would be the upper barrier where I can't quite reach on foreign policy.

I would prefer to keep the LP out of this, Josh Koch has been condemning Rand for a while. He is an absolute idealist who fears that Rand is transforming into an "establishment" candidate. Ironically he condemned Lisa Graas today. I don't think he knows the whole situation in that the chair (as opposed to Koch the vice chair) of the party agreed with everything Rand said on property rights. I'm assuming he is using this action to publicize the LP as they are struggling here in the state of Kentucky.
