Ron Paul finished a distant second in the Kentucky primary, despite his son being the state’s junior senator. But a Paul supporter — a backer of both Ron and Rand (who reciprocated) easily won the Republican nomination in the fourth congressional district.
Thomas Massie defeated his nearest opponent in a four-way race 44.8 percent to 28.6 percent. The district has been represented by a Republican for all but six years since 1967 — when quite conservative Democrat Ken Lucas held the seat — making Massie a heavy favorite to win the general election in November. Politico referred to it as “another Randslide.” This is part of the movement-building I’ve been writing about for a while that will have impact beyond Tampa.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Remember to become a precinct chair if there are vacancies.

Please every Ron Paul supporter: Look into becoming a precinct chair today. Google RON PAUL PRECINCT CHAIR. We need these almost as much as we need delegates. If it is before the deadline apply, if it is after the county deadline then check if there is a vacancy in which case you can apply anyways (sometimes there is a 2nd procedure for these). It is SO easy, it took me mailing in a form and then meeting some folks at the county GOP for 5 minutes. Help us prevent neocon fraud.
