Rand Paul and Adam Kokesh discuss "their movement" to take back the Republican Party. Paul even claims his advisers were telling him he needed to step up and be a little more like Kokesh. Oh really? Does that include being arrested and smearing the military?
Adam Kokesh: An anti-war smear merchant in “Republican” clothing
You have got to be freaking kidding me.
It's my understanding that Adam Kokesh has Rand's endorsement on his website somewhere. I've read the endorsement and heard it was on his site. No time to go look right now or I would.........but anyway, yes.......they have a common "movement", people. Wake the hell up.

As a Kentucky Republican I'll be choosing either Paul or Grayson in next month's primary. I have to admit that Rand Paul appealed to my libertarian leanings at first and I ponied up $50 for one of his money-bombs. However, after pondering it and doing actual research on where they stood... hey, I'm voting for Grayson and I've contributed to his campaign.
Rand Paul is not who I want representing me in the Senate. I WISH Bunning were still in it... but that's another story in and of itself.

Hope Rand Paul lose the Kentucky primary election. He is just like his father, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. They are libetarian; not Republican.

OH, yeah, and.........Dan.......LOTS of folks in the Tea Parties agree with you on this. There are a lot of people out there who have been forced out of the Tea Parties by their own principles because of this stuff.

Good post - but there is a lot more to Kokesh and Rand Paul than just that...this video is much more telling - might want to do a separate post with it embedded to bring it to more people's attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai0DT-TK1iM
Keep up the good work!

Looks like Adam Kokesh is using basement dwellers threatening lawsuits in defense of Kokesh (aka Cokehead)

I'd rather have the kooky libertarian who will make plenty of noise for preserving our constitution and the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights, who will sponsor the occasional kooky bill that will never garner more than three votes, than another politician-for-life moderate-liberal such as a Charlie Crist or a John McCain.
