I Do Not Believe That Word Means What You Think It Means

"Libertarian", as in "Rand Paul is one."  Seems actual Libertarians here in Kentucky are pretty pissed off at him.

The state chairman of the Libertarians of Kentucky has disavowed statements by the party's vice chair, that suggest the group is considering running a real Libertarian candidate against Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul.

Chairman Ken Moellman told TPM that those statements were "not an official communication or an official stance." However, Moellman did insist that Paul's views are not in line with those of Libertarians'.


The Associated Press reported today that Party Vice Chairman Joshua Koch "said the idea of fielding a candidate has been an ongoing discussion among Libertarian leaders in Kentucky and hasn't been an issue of contention internally."

"The reason why we would even consider running somebody in this race," Koch said, "is because we're not going to let Rand determine what a Libertarian stands for. I'm here to say Rand does not have the Libertarian ideology."

That's because Rand Paul is something called "A Republican."   Funny how that works.  Hey, Kentucky Libertarian Party, you want to run somebody against Rand Paul, you go right ahead.
