Kentucky Republicans Break State Law for Rand Paul’s Presidential Run

The law in Kentucky was as clear as day! No one was allowed to run for two political offices at the same time.  And everyone understood that law and did the grown-up thing of deciding what office they wanted to run for. But here comes Rand Paul with his greedy plan to run for the Republican nomination for president AND – at the same time – run for re-election to the Senate.

Yes, the rule is clear. But over the weekend, the Republican controlled government in Kentucky broke the law to allow one of their own to run for two offices at once. How? With an overwhelming 111 to 36 vote to change the presidential nomination election in Kentucky to a regular caucus vote and to hold that vote earlier than usual – on March 5 next year.

“I applaud the Republican Party of Kentucky on their decision to hold a caucus in the upcoming Republican presidential cycle,” Paul said in a statement. “The people of Kentucky deserve a voice as the GOP chooses their next nominee, and holding a caucus will ensure that Kentucky is relevant and participates early in the process.”

“I am also grateful for the Republican Party’s trust in me, allowing me to run for re-election to the U.S. Senate and seek the nomination for the Presidency of the United States,” Paul said.

Can you imagine if a Kentucky Democrat had even thought of breaking the law to further his or her own selfish political ambitions? All Republican hell would break loose!

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
