Shortly on the heels of taking great offense to Rand's comment that Grayson was the establishment candidate, and protesting he wasn't. (I think he doth protest too much.) He decided to go to another fundraiser with political insiders.

I've blogged several times now about how Rand Paul is doing so many events that I'm having trouble keeping up with everything. Almost every day he's got something going on, and many days lately he's had 2 or three events he's trying to attend and juggle.

Compare that to Trey Grayson who appears to be sitting for Senate.

Thursday, Rand Paul was at duPont High School in Louisville (video below)
along with Democratic contender Mongiardo giving their presentations about their respective philosophies about Government.

Apparently Mongiardo totally demolished Benjamin Franklin's famous statement
"Those who sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither." Then he claimed it was Thomas Jefferson who said it. I don't have a recording of Mongiardo's speech but apparently it was pretty funny.

Read the rest: and Watch Rand's speech and see the flicker photos here.

In a recent Q and A with the Wall Street Journal Rand Paul talks about how most things should be local or state issues, the Iraq war, both his Tea Party, and Ron Paul bases, and currency debasement by the Federal Government.

Most interesting I think though is that he's reaching out to Sarah Palin.

This is very interesting. I'm not sure we have seen the real Sarah Palin...her entire time in the public eye was in the role of McCain's running mate. Is she the neocon that she had to play? Or is she really an independent thinker who could come around to true belief in liberty? Her performance in the campaign last year was disappointing, but I realize that she had to comply with the boss's demands and am still open to considering her as an ally if she can show that she is a true champion of liberty.

Talk to Ron Paul supporters from Alaska. Most really like Palin. The two top conservative draws for a crowd are Ron Paul and Sarah Palin. I hope Sarah does not run but instead tours the country drawing huge crowds for Rand Paul style candidates

Thank you for that insight, Paul. I am hesitant to embrace Palin because of the neocon views she expressed during the campaign, but I am equally hesitant to reject her, because I sense that she has something better within her than the McCain camp allowed her to show. Interesting take...Palin might indeed do more good campaigning for Rand Paul type candidates than she could do by running in her own right.

She had her opportunity to embrace and spread the message of liberty, and she chose to support the neo-conservative message. I will NEVER trust Sarah Palin.

Why does Rand support war in Afghanistan? Whose side is he on???

The Republican Liberty Caucus endorses Rand Paul

This is good news In a time where more and more Republicans are at odds with the National Leadership of the Republican Party, an RLC endorsement, I think, helps show potential voters that Rand Paul is the real deal.

On the other hand, Senate Conservatives is still mulling.

Personally, I'm a bit confused. I can only wonder if the reason for the above wishy-washy e-mail is, maybe they're feeling pressure from big donors and establishment types. It might be a good idea to mention to them, how Rand Paul can help increase their legitimacy and exposure, more then his conservative credentials. More here.
