TIME TO EXIT THE RACE FOR U.S. SENATE
May the Best Man Win
ELKTON —Kentucky GOP Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement regarding his decision to exit the U.S. Senate race.
“Magellan Strategies completed a poll for the campaign on Tuesday evening. The results were not encouraging for a continued run. It is time to gracefully and honorably exit the race for the U.S. Senate.
“I have no regrets. Spending time with men like Bob Heft (50 Star American Flag designer) and Dr. Alan Keyes (Pro-life advocate) has enriched my life. Talking with Kentucky’s Republican congressman during the past few months reassures me that good people are fighting hard for America. I am happy to say that we have some outstanding men and women serving at the state level, many of them have given me words of encouragement. And meeting conservative men and women across the state of Kentucky has renewed my faith that America will again head back to the Constitution.
“Trey and Rand are both good men. I have decided to remain neutral for now and clear of endorsements. Regardless of who wins the primary, I offer my full support to helping that candidate become our next U.S. Senator from Kentucky.
“I will spend the next few months relaxing and enjoying time with my family. I humbly thank all my supporters and volunteers for their efforts. My goal was to be your public servant in Washington but perhaps another opportunity will emerge in the future. I look forward to your continued friendship. Please stay in touch. Best Regards, Bill”

STAND TALL SENATOR JIM BUNNING
Bunning Pitches a Perfect Game
ELKTON —Kentucky GOP U.S. Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement regarding Jim Bunning’s decision to block further deficit spending.
“I support Senator Jim Bunning. Frankly, unemployment benefits are currently 99 weeks or almost two years. While I support extending the benefits for a short period of time longer, we must find a way to pay for those benefits. I do not support extending unemployment benefits beyond two years.
“Even Germany limits unemployment benefits to one year. Benefits here in America are exceeding those offered in the most liberal countries of Europe. Two years of government support is not a safety net. It is an entitlement program. I am tired of paying for entitlement programs that continue well beyond a compassionate need.
“I am unemployed having refused a company move to Houston, Texas. I am on Cobra, spending my savings (to live and campaign), but still standing confidently in my abilities. I don’t want government help and I have not taken unemployment benefits. I want the government out of my way so the economy will recover.
“Getting rid of the Department of Education would free up $45 billion per year. Getting rid of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would free up $10.5 billion per year. It is time to draw the line. Stand tall Senator Bunning. You are pitching a perfect game.”

Rand Paul’s False Claims on Abortion Don’t Match His Previous Statements
Florence, Kentucky –
Secretary of State Trey Grayson and Businessman Bill Johnson, both Republican candidates for U.S. Senate issued the following response today to the claims contained in Rand Paul’s radio ad on the topic of abortion:
“There’s no ‘probably’ when it comes to the issue of partial birth abortion among Kentucky pro-life activists,” said Grayson. “Whether it’s Bill Johnson or myself, Kentuckians deserve to know who can be counted on to protect life and stand up for our conservative values in the race for U.S. Senate.”
“Rand Paul denies it now, but I’ve heard him say that he supports allowing individual states to decide the issue of abortion. He describes himself as a Constitutional conservative, but he ignores the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that guarantees our rights to life, liberty and property. Life should be protected at all levels of Government, including the Federal level,” said Bill Johnson.
While Rand Paul claims to be pro-life, he has in the past voiced support for allowing states to decide the issue and has opposed federal regulation of abortion. Rand Paul in his own words:
“But he [Paul] was more evasive when it came to some social issues like abortion and gay marriage. He said he believes marriage is between a man and woman but wouldn’t say how he’d vote on such issues in the Senate, instead saying such matters should be left up to states.” (Ronnie Ellis, “Paul Touts Fundraising Success, Stakes Positions On Federal Issues,” The McCreary County [KY] Record, 10/20/09)
“And on abortion, Paul expressed discomfort with federal laws but said he “probably” would have voted for a federal ban on a procedure that has been called partial-birth abortion by its opponents.” (Joe Gerth, “Can Paul win Kentucky Senate Race?”, The Courier-Journal, 10/19/2009)
“I think we should make Roe v. Wade part of our philosophy as far as states’ rights - in believing that states should have the prerogative over this.” (Rand Paul Speaking in Jessamine County , 9/3/2009)
"I would introduce and support legislation to send Roe v. Wade back to the states." (Rand Paul Speaking in Paducah , 5/9/2009)
"Libertarian would be a good description," Rand Paul told CNN, "because libertarians believe in freedom in all aspects of your life – your economic life as well as your social life as well as your personal life." (CNN’s Political Ticker, 5/4/2009)
“Paul’s father, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is a strong states’ rights advocate who wants the federal government out of people’s lives. He opposes federal drug laws and says the U.S. government should not outlaw gay marriage because only churches should be in the marriage business. During a conference call Friday, Rand Paul, a Bowling Green ophthalmologist, talked around some of those questions and others, perhaps signaling that he knows his positions on such issues might be a tough sell to Kentucky Republicans. He prefers to talk about fiscal issues, allowing him to ride a populist wave that erupted after the nation’s economy went bust, prompting federal bailouts.” (Joseph Gerth, Op-Ed, “Can Paul Win Kentucky Senate Race?” The [Louisville, KY] Courier-Journal, 10/19/09)
“[T]he Paul campaign issued the following response: . . . . ‘Reconciling Rand’s positions with Kentucky voters is easy. Kentucky is a socially conservative state which mostly upholds Christian values. If we protect states’ rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, then we protect Kentucky values from Californians or Vermonters or out-of-control Congressional Democrats and President Obama. Kentucky voters want and deserve to have their rights protected by Rand Paul’s strict constructionist understanding of the United States Constitution.’ David Adams, campaign manager.” (Joe Arnold, ABC Affiliate WHAS’s Political Blog, www.beloblog.com/WHAS_Blogs/PoliticalBlogger , Posted 10/20/09)
Middlesboro Daily News: What about instances of rape or incest or where the outcome may not be death, but severe medical problems for the mother or child. Do you think that in these cases the decision should be left to the government rather than the families? Paul: In cases of rape, trying to prevent pregnancies is obviously the best thing. The morning-after pill works successfully most of the time. Ultimately we do better if we do have better education about family planning. With partial-birth abortion, there were five women who testified that it threatened their life. It wasn’t completely true in all cases. They were non-viable babies. They were babies with awful genetic mutations that were not going to survive, and I tend to think we let nature take its course.

JOHNSON COMMENTS ON JOINT PRESS RELEASE
ELKTON — Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement about the joint Friends of Trey Grayson/Johnson Senate Committee press release:
“I will remain my own candidate in this Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate. Dr. Paul agrees with my positions on fiscal issues and Mr. Grayson agrees with my positions on social/moral issues. However, I stand alone on matters of energy independence and the defense of our nation; both critical to voters of Kentucky
“As a veteran and business leader experienced in the field of energy and national defense, I have the background necessary to lead in the U.S Senate. As a Friend of Coal, I will work to eliminate the Federal Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and return those responsibilities to the states. We need to mine for coal, drill for oil, and build power plants right here in Kentucky. Voters can trust that as a veteran who defended our nation in the first gulf war, I will always stand strong on national defense and border protection.
“The May 18th Primary is critical to our future. We need a U.S. Senator who is correct on all the issues important to Kentucky.”

Bill Johnson Lincoln day Dinner in Spencer county Kentucky
Bill Johnson was well received at the Lincoln day Dinner in Spencer county Kentucky last night. My good friend Kelly reported!
Bill spoke well, even though he only had a short time to get his message out...about 3:30 minutes. He was interrupted a few times by applause (which eats into your time); the abortion. Right to Life Amendment, was received the loudest! Tax reform, elimination of the IRS and the EPA, term limits and his education position were homeruns as well. Kelly also told me we have Bill video taped so you will all eventually get to see him.
Now for Randy-Dandy Paul . He had a CNN crew (camera-man, his assistant and what could have been a producer) following him around. They are allegedly co-opting to produce a documentary. I got the impression that some of the attendees were not so pleased by the grandiosity of this activity. The CNN producer was impressed by Bill's (skin in the game) self-financing. He talked with Garrad See about this.
Randy Dandy Paul's speech included pork spending, balanced budgets, signed onto DeMint's proposed balanced budget act, term limits....then proceeds to prop himself up by telling
the audience about how far in the lead...19 points...he is, how he's the grassroot choice....(I believe he is delusional about what a "grassroots movement'" is they generally don't have millions of dollars and a famous daddy) than he goes on to say , he has all the momentum....and he has the demonstrated money making machine ( Rand sure seems to love money that is about all he talks about) with all his supposedly hype and money he can bring the needed attention to Kentucky. Why do we need attention ? Or is it him who is seeking the attention! He must think he is a rich rock star I guess. Apparently he is becoming a legend in his own mind.
He also went on about how great it is to be endorsed by Sarah Palin and that endorsement is the greatest thing that a Republican candidate can get.What Good ole' Rand Paul dose not realize yet is by endorsing him she has lost a great deal of support here in Kentucky and nationwide. I guess they will both get that memo soon enough.
Here in Kentucky we care most about what matters and life is one of the most important issue Kentuckians care about. Everywhere Bill goes he is well received by Kentuckians because he has the heart of a Kentuckian . A vote for Bill is going to be a vote to return Kentucky back to our real roots of, “Conservatives’ “

JOHNSON REACTS TO PALIN ENDORSEMENT
ELKTON — Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement about the Sarah Palin endorsement:
“According to reporting by several sources, Sarah Palin disagrees with Mr. Paul on some issues, Mr. Paul has never spoken to the Governor, and $2000 changed hands. Frankly, it appears like typical Washington behavior by two individuals claiming to be outside of politics as usual.
“While I respect Sarah Palin for her personal choices, I stand in disagreement with her and Mr. Paul’s public policy position of letting the states decide the issue of abortion. This is simply pro-choice for states. Instead, we need to protect our God-given unalienable right to life at all levels of government, including the federal level.
“It lacks honor to base an endorsement primarily on ‘shaking things up in Washington.’ We already have enough of the wrong kind of shake from the Washington Democrats and Libertarians. Instead, we need to elect principled leadership on the issues and chart a course back to the Ronald Reagan conservative platform.”

Paul supporter gets reemed out for leaving
A friend received the following after requesting to be removed from a Rand Paul mailing list. Evidently when you join Rand Paul's campaign you can't just ask to be removed from a list until they berate and try to intimidate you with cult like euphemisms! I have removed both the sender and the receivers names due to their privacy. I smell cult written all over this email. Buzz words and all.
You will be summarily removed. I sincerely hope that you realize that you are playing right into what the establishment wants you to do. They offer you up a neocon-lite because they know you will not vote for the establishment candidate and they only wish to pull enough votes away from their true opposition (who is leading in the polls) to allow their anointed candidate (who is second in
the polls) to win, and you are helping them do just that. It is a classic political game. Your candidate will not win. He has no chance. I know how that feels because we've been there before when the average masses were still asleep, but it wasn't because of lack of widespread support (which is the problem with your candidate - he has to lend his own campaign $250,000 because he does not have a mandate from the people even though he's been at campaigning for as long as the rest of 'em).
The problem is that your candidate does not understand, nor desire to obey, the US Constitution. I have talked to him numerous times and even been in a GOOOH focus group with him. He doesn't understand the separation between State and Federal authority. He doesn't even allow questions at his
events to any real degree. I have heard him speak many times. He is a very nice* person, I do not doubt that. He appears to be a "regular" guy and a moral guy. I'll give him that. All those things really don't matter if he doesn't respect the rule of law (the US Constitution) in ALL situations nor the separation of Federal and State authority that the States are accorded. (See the 9th and 10th amendments to the US Constitution.) In other words, even with all his good qualities, he lacks what we really need in
these terrible times....that is a thorough knowledge of the US Constitution and the guiding principles of true American liberty, which are the only way to restore our original peace and prosperity. We need a real statesman who knows the lessons of history.
I pray that you will consider you_r support and put it towards something besides a shell of true liberty.
Blessings to you,
While reading this email several things struck me there are even a couple of out right lies. Less take a look :
Point #1
They offer you up a neocon-lite because they know you will not vote for the establishment candidate and they only wish to pull enough votes away from their true opposition (who is leading in the polls) to allow their anointed candidate (who is second in
the polls) to win, and you are helping them do just that. Here they are saying that Bill Johnson was placed in this race by the GOP to take votes away from Rand Paul.Take notice the person uses the word neocon-lite. If you are around any of the Paulians you hear this work 100 times a day. The Rand Paulians love to toss it around a lot especially if you might disagree with them on an issue. This should come as no surprise they hate traditional values and would love to make radical changes much like the liberal school of thought about politics like the 60's movement. Hippies,free love, anti-establishment, anti-war,peace, love smoke pot, do what ever you like free for all kind of thinking. They call this liberty.
Than we have this : Point #2
The problem is that your candidate does not understand, nor desire to obey, the US Constitution. I have talked to him numerous times and even been in a GOOOH focus group with him. He doesn't understand the separation between State and Federal authority. He doesn't even allow questions at his events to any real degree. I have heard him speak many times. Bill understands and was willing to die to protect the freedom we enjoy here in the United States after all he took an oath to uphold the Constitution it when he was sworn into the Navy. I do not personally know if Bill has set in a GOOOH group or not so I cannot comment on this but I will ask him and give an update later once I speak to him about it. As for the separation of State and Federal authority. A state cannot make laws that usurp the Federal authority nor can Federal authority usurp a state law as long as it is Constitutionally lawful to begin with. Not rocket science here. I am sure Bill understands this simple truth.
I doubt Rand Paul knows anymore than the average 5th grader about the Constitution. If he did he would not want to leave abortion up to the states. Abortion in is unconstitutional. If one understands the 14th amendment.
Point #3
Of course the person rants about how the masses where asleep when they lost .. I am guessing they meant Ron Paul's lame run for president when he not only lost but miserably lost.
Than of course there is the double talk about Bill financing his own campaign with his own money .. the person says .. the establishment wants their anointed one I am thinking Trey Grayson to win so Bill is the ringer to take votes away from Rand than says he has to lend himself money to finance his campaign .. wouldn't the GOP give Bill all the money he needed if he was their ringer and than have him bow out at the last moment if they wanted Grayson to win .. Evidently some one went off their prozac before they wrote this email or maybe they just smoked too much pot, either way this is not the writings of a sound mind. This nit wit knows zero about a grassroots campaign nor what it means to run one.
Here we have a lie: We need a real statesman who knows the lessons of history.
How can Rand Paul be a statesman he has never held an office other then his eye care practice office. I actually laughed out loud at that statement. A statesman is usually a politician or other notable public figure who has had a long and respected career in politics or government at the national and international level. Paul is neither. I never even knew Ron had a son until Rand started his campaign and he has never held any political office that I can find unless maybe he did it on another planet. If Paul knew the lessons of history so well he would know that liberty comes with a price! Not a price tag!
Another blatant lie :He doesn't even allow questions at his events to any real degree!
I have seen Bill stay for hours after an event was finished allowing people to ask him as many questions as they want. He will answer them all. He is the one that turns off the lights after everyone else has left. I have been there and watched him since late August. Rand runs in tosses out his Libertarian bologna and runs out the door , that is unless their is a camera in his face. Than he stays for his photo shoot and than you can't find him for dust.
We welcome our new Bill Johnson supporter with open arms!
P.S. I bet Rand Paul won't show up in the Wal-mart parking lot to meet and go door to door Sunday morning with his supporters. I know Bill Johnson would. He never asks us to do anything he wouldn't do himself. That is a REAL LEADER!
Go check out BIll Johnson :

State Sovereignty Resolution Rally Rand Paul a NO SHOW!!!!
On Thursday last week January 21, 2010 hundreds of Kentuckians joined together in a common goal to support HR 54 bill grafted by Representative Stan Lee (R) BR54/HR10 Kentucky state sovereignty bill and supported by other representatives from around Kentucky. We all gathered to show support for the sovereignty of Kentucky in the rotunda at our state capital in Frankfort... The rain did not deter those that understand the significance should such a bill be past. There were several guest speakers one was Leland Conway a talk show host from Lexington. There was a good turn out despite the rain.
Rand Paul says he in behind this bill and many of his supporters rant and rave about how much he wanted this bill past but did not see any significance in attending this important event. So, Rand why the no show for this bill? Although he did have supporters there handing out Paul campaign paraphnilia. They all wore those black hats and t-shirts.
No One from the Trey Grayson camp bother to show!
This tells me Paul nor Grayson really don’t care about Kentucky nor its citizens their only goal is to win in the primary this coming April.
Mock Bill displayed at the State Sovereignty Resolution Rally
On the other hand we have Bill Johnson who drove from Elkron, Kentucky in the pouring down rain to attend this rally. He was greeted by his supporters including myself and many others!
Bill Johnson signs and adds his name to the list in support of sovereignty bill HR54
Bill proves daily he is concerned about Kentucky and its citizens because he is one of them just like you and me. He didn’t speak at the rally, he was there to support it just like the other hundreds of Kentucky folks that braved the pouring down rain to stand together on this issue.
So, folks tell me who is the real Kentuckian here and who deserves the votes of Kentuckians in the April primary? I support Bill Johnson and if you don’t than do yourself a favor and learn more about him on his web site and while you are there join his special forces and let’s get this REAL Kentuckian , business man , gulf war vet elected as our next state senator from Kentucky. Did I tell you, his is the real grassroots campaign? No outsiders, no big money, no daddy to lean on, no uncle Mitch to ask favors from!

On the other hand we have Bill Johnson who drove from Elkron, Kentucky in the pouring down rain to attend this rally. He was greeted by his supporters including myself and many others!
Bill Johnson signs and adds his name to the list in support of sovereignty bill HR54
Bill proves daily he is concerned about Kentucky and its citizens because he is one of them just like you and me. He didn’t speak at the rally, he was there to support it just like the other hundreds of Kentucky folks that braved the pouring down rain to stand together on this issue.
So, folks tell me who is the real Kentuckian here and who deserves the votes of Kentuckians in the April primary? I support Bill Johnson and if you don’t than do yourself a favor and learn more about him on his web site and while you are there join his special forces and let’s get this REAL Kentuckian , business man , gulf war vet elected as our next state senator from Kentucky. Did I tell you, his is the real grassroots campaign? No outsiders, no big money, no daddy to lean on, no uncle Mitch to ask favors from!

JOHNSON WELCOMES GRAYSON TO SENATE RACE
ELKTON — U.S. Senate Candidate Bill Johnson issued the follow statement on the filing of Trey Grayson to run for U.S. Senate:
“Washington has found an establishment-friendly candidate to back in Mr. Grayson. We won’t hold his youth and lack of private sector and military experience against him. He is looking to continue his political career, and we welcome him to the Senate race.
“The race is shaping up to be a grassroots Reagan conservative versus two Goliaths. The Washington machine has chosen Grayson. Ron Paul’s libertarian movement has funded his son Rand. I will simply rely on the people of Kentucky for support.
“On Election Day, the voters will have clear choices on where to place their trust.”
Mommy
My good friend at Mommy summed up very well what Rand Paul and his out of state supporters are doing .. here is a portion of what she had to say . click mommy to finish the article at the end of this post .
Rand Paul's Astroturf
The man who claims to be the tea party candidate in Kentucky's GOP primary, is having trouble drumming up support from among the grassroots here. There are many reasons for this which I will list below. The campaign's response is to bring in "fake grassroots" from outside the state. A new astroturfing group with the Rand Paul campaign as administrator has set up shop on Facebook. In March, out-of-state Paul supporters will travel here to work for the Paul campaign in what is being billed as Rand Paul's Spring Break in Kentucky.
Why don't grassroots conservatives in Kentucky support Rand Paul?
Political Nepotism -- People are turned off by the fact that Paul is riding his father's coattails. For instance, Gun Owners of America has admitted that the fact that he is Ron Paul's son was part of their criteria for endorsement. A great many of Rand Paul's endorsements are from people and groups who have previously endorsed his father. Rand Paul does not seek to serve Kentuckians by promoting the principles we value. His intent is to promote his father's agenda. In May of 2009, Rand Paul stated (emphasis mine):
"I know that third party candidates can’t win in KY. Although I’m a Libertarian at heart, I’ve decided to run as a Republican. Once I win I’ll be able to promote my father’s principles and work towards reforming the Republican party."
Flip-Flops and Obfuscation -- He's learning that libertarianism doesn't fly here, so he offers watered down speech on abortion, refusing to back off his father's agenda on the matter, but claims to be the pro-life candidate in the race. (His father has voted 56% pro-life according to National Right to Life.) He's been accused of scrubbing his website more than once. Once in regard to the Patriot Act and again in regard to Gitmo.
Alienating the Religious Right -- The Paul campaign has said they won't be engaging with the religious right as questions have been coming about his positions on abortion, releasing drug offenders and expanding gambling.
Ambivalence about genuine racism -- The fact that he is supported by the "White Power" movement has raised, unfortunatey, few eyebrows, but when it was learned that he actually hired a racist to be his campaign coordinator, the damage was palpable.
Out-of -State Support -- The very fact that most of Paul's support has been coming from outside Kentucky is a turn-off to Kentucky voters. The more Kentucky's voters are turned off, the more reason the Paul campaign has to send in astro-turfers.
The Grayson campaign, backed by the McConnell machine, was doomed from the start, no matter how many polls he throws out saying otherwise. Read the rest here :

GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA ENDORSEMENT OF RAND PAUL ABOUT MONEY
Individual rights of the unborn are less important than guns
ELKTON — Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement about the Gun Owners of America’s endorsement of Rand Paul.
“My campaign contacted the Gun Owners of America (GOA) leadership today for an understanding of the recent endorsement of Rand Paul. Mr. John Velleco of GOA explained that the organization based their endorsement on campaign finance reports and their longstanding relationship with the elder Ron Paul.
“That does not make sense. Apparently, a grassroots campaign with minimal funding and no Washington network is unworthy of support from the Gun Owners of America. The endorsement of GOA was for sale and sold to the campaign with the most money.
“The Gun Owners of America leadership has turned its back on a gulf war veteran and active gun owner for the sake of money. Additionally, they have chosen to endorse a candidate in Rand Paul who has turned his back on the unborn and our individual right to equal protection of the 14th amendment. I proudly stand with the National Rifle Association and their view that the 14th amendment provides a foundation for the individual right to own guns.
“Score one for the Washington establishment. However, the Pauls’ will soon learn that Kentucky voters will not be as easily bought as was the endorsement of the GOA. It would also be refreshing if the recently endorsed Rand Paul would actually demonstrate some competency with a firearm.”
Update : Readers please contact the GOA and tell them how disappointed you are they endorsed Rand Paul

Here is a Message from Bill Johnson
As my readers know I am in total support of Bill Johnson for our U.S.Senator here in Kentucky. Bill is a leader not beholden to any one. He is a Reagan Conservative. Running against two big money machines.

JOHNSON: Does Paul Values Guns over the Right to Life?
Gun owners deserve federal protection, but not unborn children?
States do not have the power to deny individual Constitutional rights.
ELKTON —Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement regarding how the Constitution applies to two core conservative values: The rights to life and gun ownership.
“The Gun Owners of America organization has reportedly endorsed Rand Paul and cited 'respect for our Constitutional freedoms' in the announcement. The organization is a long time supporter of the elder Ron Paul.
“As an active gun owner and enthusiast, I share the Pauls' view that we must protect our right to gun ownership. However, Mr. Paul has made it clear that while gun owners deserve federal protection against infringement of their Second Amendment rights, unborn persons should not have federal right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. Instead, Paul would let the states decide if the unborn have individual rights to equal protection. The states would decide the issue of (abortion) (1) (2).
“The moment we let the states decide on one individual right, we put all individual rights in danger. To illustrate the danger, imagine if the opposite case were made by the gun control crowd, that unborn persons had the right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment but we let the states decide if our Second Amendment right to gun ownership applies to individuals. Would that be acceptable?
“In an age when gun control proponents are seeking every possible loophole to infringe upon the rights of individuals to keep and bear arms, those who value the Second Amendment would do well to consider the Fourteenth Amendment as equally important. If the methodology of the Pauls' so-called "Sanctity of Life Act" were applied to gun ownership, states would be allowed to decide whether or not to ban guns. The bottom line is that the only acceptable position is for the federal government to protect all individual rights as stated in the Constitution.
“Kentuckians should be wary of any person running for office who holds an inconsistent position about our individual rights. I am in agreement with the position of the National Rifle Association that the Fourteenth Amendment supports the Second Amendment by offering an additional guarantee that the right to bear arms is an 'individual' right and that it cannot be infringed upon by state legislatures.”

Bill Johnson a David against Two Goliaths
We have our future in the hands of three men running for the U.S. Senate seat here in Kentucky.
One is Bill Johnson he is a “Joe”, citizen just like you and me. He is a family man, business, Gulf war vet and a Reagan conservative Republican. He quit his full time job in the hopes of be able to make a difference not for himself, but for Kentucky and America. He is funding his campaign with his own life’s savings and donations from those that support him. He is a David among the Two Goliaths. He is a solid conservative in that believes in the Reagan principles of Government. He understands the rights of the unborn child. He is served his county in the Navy aboard a nuclear guided missile cruiser and nuclear aircraft carrier.. Bill will to go anywhere any time and answer questions on any issue and has not changed one single stand since he decided to run last summer. He is running a real in action Grassroots campaign, he has his supporters, none of which are wealthy, none of which have influence in high places. They are folks that understand what ethics and principles mean they are the true Reagan conservatives. They do not bow down to the politically correct; they do not bend when the wind blows. They stand firm on their beliefs. They have drawn a line in the sand. They are Reagan conservative Kentuckians.
Another is Trey Grayson to date Trey is our Sectary of the state of Kentucky. We hear very little from this candidate. I am giving an educated guess here but I think because he is the GOP nomination he feels he don’t have to campaign, don’t have to do press conferences; don’t have to answer questions left by potential voters like my self and three others here in my home, We do vote and we are Reagan Conservatives. If my readers remember I blogged about his supposed Town Hall meeting were I said, I left a message and they told me they would get back to me. To this date that has not happened. I suppose 4 potential votes don’t mean a thing to a man that figures he has this election already in the bag. At a fund raiser a dinner was $500.00 dollars a plate. Not a bad price to pay if you are the elite. This guy is getting millions from both the GOP and fund raisers on his behalf and don’t have to do anything for it , just show up.
Than of course there is Rand Paul son of Ron. You probably know him his is the anti-Semite, anti-government, anti- law, anarchists from Texas Congressman who ran for President. Rand is an eye surgeon from Bowling Green Kentucky although he is from Texas. “I have nothing against Texans. Some of my best friends and family members live there and so did I for 13 years”. Most Texans are wonderful people, just not Ron.
Rand is married as well and runs a very successful practice. Rand has received as of this writing around 1.5 million in donations. Mine you, most of those come from out of state. He has changed his issues pages so many times I give up trying to keep up with what is fashionable with him today. As of today he has dropped all reference to the Patriot act from his web site. He isn’t sure whether or not the Constitution protects the unborn and I could probably write a book on his flip flops. HUMM, I have to wonder why he flips and flops so much on the issues.
I found an interesting comment made by the Paul supporters and thought I might take the time to share this one about what he and his supporters has done to the Glen Beck’s 912 project : TAKE NOTE OF THE DATE HERE: Submitted by October2007 on Thu, 03/19/2009 - 01:56

“It seems like Glenn Beck inadvertently made our job a little easier by creating his new website: www.the912project.com.
He seems to have created a great venue for us to spread our message to a very large ripe audience through the many meetup groups organizing across the country and through his website.
Here's the meetup page for his project:
http://www.meetup.com/WeSurroundThemGathering/
I'm thinking we should all go to our local 912 meetups and talk to the people there. We could answer a lot of their questions and direct them to some great videos online and great books to read. We could also get them to sign up to the Campaign for Liberty.
We could use his 912project as a tool to educate millions of people.
We should milk this thing as much as possible”
Glen Beck at one time described himself as a conservative but after 2 years of having the Paul’s both Ron and Rand on his program he apparently has changed his mind and is becoming one of them.
Just in case anyone don’t quite understand what a libertarian political view is let me educate you just a little in my own words. Libertarians want nothing to do with culture wars, think drugs and pornography should be legal, favor an isolationist foreign policy and generally believe in shrinking the government to about the size of a gnat -- all of which a real conservative finds appalling .
Rand has encircled himself with racist, libertarians and in general nut jobs. I wonder who will get thrown under the next Paul bus. Do Kentuckians really want this kind of man as our Senator? I certainly don’t!
I support Bill Johnson!http://www.kentuckybill.com Please consider a donation while you are checking him out and join his Special Forces team. We need good Kentuckians who are conservatives to take back Kentucky and America.

America never knowingly accepted socialism
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
-- Norman Thomas, 1948 Socialist candidate for President
I chose the above quote because it appears that this above statement has nearly come to pass in my generation. I am 55 years old. I grew up during the hippy movement of the 60’s and 70’s, one of the biggest anti government, toss out your morals, burn your bras, disobey your parents, do drugs the more the merrier and give out sex as if it were candy, anti war, anti nukes, hang up those outdated values and forget responsibility. It was an era of total rebellion among the youth against the authorities of parents and the establishment. One mantra was,” if it feels good do it” another,” stick it to the man” Protests were in vogue. We were taught be suspicious of everyone and everything. The public school systems were in full swing "dumbing" down its pupils. Johnny was no longer in need of learning how to read and Mary had no need of learning how to write. Social grade promotions were normal if you failed they still passed you, no one needed to earn grades. College entrance exams like the SAT test where shaved by as much as twenty points to allow certain minority students entrance. Education no longer focused on the needs of the individual but the group as a whole thus socialism took a deep root. We were being taught socialism in the guise of education , in order to be accepted you acted, thought and were taught to be apart of the group or you simply were not accepted.
The word,” sedition”, comes to mind when I think back on my teenage and college years. We were a generation taught in our schools by teachers who were indoctrinated in college to teach socialism. The media did their part by glamorizing this was the right thing to do. .Got to be hip or you are not cool The communist had infiltrated our colleges disguised as professors and those graduates took jobs as teachers in the public school all around the country. The nightly news began to lean towards the more liberal views and made sure it was viewed from that perspective. Movie stars like Jane Fonda sided with the communist of North Viet Nam and was proud of kicking and spitting on soldiers coming home from war in airports. These events were paraded on the T.V. nightly and it was rare that anyone complained. The silent majority were applaud but they said nothing and they did nothing.I believe this was one of the biggest commencements of the principal push towards socialism ever to be enacted in America and its impact is the results we are witnessing today. The best example I can think of is Barak Hussein Obama seated in the Oval office of the White House.
A large number of those seated in the House and Senate today are some of the same people that participated in the flower child, hippy movement. Nevertheless, they were voted into office and given power to governor us. I have often wondered if anyone ever checked out the conduct of those they voted for prior to their political careers. Past dealings show a lot about a person’s present character. Ever heard of the old saying," a leopard never changes their spots"?
Along with each new bill that is passed into law there is a yet another small annihilation of our freedoms; all the while eroding the heart of the Constitution and our liberties as citizens. Last year millions of guilt ridden Americans were driven greatly out of shame and voted for “Change “and that is what we got and about all we have left in our pockets.
I personally have no guilt nor will I accept it as a reason to vote for anyone running for an office. I vote for men and women with character and good judgment. I never owned a slave nor did anyone in my family, so why would I feel guilty for a problem inherited by America from our predecessors. I also voted for a Black man for president as a matter of fact he was a write in candidate here on our ballot in Kentucky. I still voted for him not because I felt any shame or guilt but because he holds the same kinds of morals and values as I do. His character is like gold and he is steadfast in his convictions. He has never falter nor wavered about what he stands for that man is Dr. Alan Keyes. He was abandoned by the Republican Party because he would not bend to the politics as usual stasis quo mentality that has taken deep roots in the party. It felt good not to hold my nose and cast a vote for a liberal posing as a conservative, one of the RINO’s that has infiltrated the Republican Party. I am referring John McCain.
I have heard it said,” you can’t tell the difference in the parties’ any longer”, and I agree you can’t. Just because someone changes parties’ dose not mean they have changed their hearts, their convictions or what they acknowledge as truthful. It is because they see an advantage either of gaining power or money to advance their own careers of course this might not be true in every case. I know there are true conversions that spend relentless hours working towards to good of our nation. I am one of them, but for the majority the change is in their registration voter card and in fact it is done for their own political gain and not a sincere conversion of the person. Consequently, the outcome is liberal Republicans running for office being back by the GOP and than being elected solely because they have an R beside their name on the ballots. We have to face the facts Americans are rather naive when it comes to politicians. Millions of dollars are spent each election both from the Republicans and Democrats. After all hardly any of them fulfill the empty promises they make while they are bidding for our votes. Do they? Think about it. Political speeches are designed to entice and excite the listeners and rarely give an honest illustration of the candidate.
Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Become an educated voter; truthfully get to know the whole candidate before you cast that precious vote. Ask questions. Look them in the eyes while they answer you. Take a fine tooth comb to them like you would a dog with fleas and you might discover that they aren’t at all who they are portraying while bidding for your vote.
This is why I support a Bill Johnson. He is not a career Politician nor is he seeking power and money. He is running his campaign strictly from grassroots efforts. I have personally stuck his feet to the fire on every issue I can think of from health care to foreign policy and he stands firm on his convictions. He does not support government run health care nor does he believe we should be soft on present dangers out side the United States nor inside that could potentially cause us harm. He is a gulf war vet, business man husband, father and Christian who loves his country and with your vote he can help stop the nonsense coming out of Washington.
I urge you to take an honest look at this man he is the real deal here in Kentucky for the U.S. Senate seat.
We do live in perilous and dangerous times and we need someone with a strong sense of commitment and dedication that will not buckle under pressure.

-- Norman Thomas, 1948 Socialist candidate for President
I chose the above quote because it appears that this above statement has nearly come to pass in my generation. I am 55 years old. I grew up during the hippy movement of the 60’s and 70’s, one of the biggest anti government, toss out your morals, burn your bras, disobey your parents, do drugs the more the merrier and give out sex as if it were candy, anti war, anti nukes, hang up those outdated values and forget responsibility. It was an era of total rebellion among the youth against the authorities of parents and the establishment. One mantra was,” if it feels good do it” another,” stick it to the man” Protests were in vogue. We were taught be suspicious of everyone and everything. The public school systems were in full swing "dumbing" down its pupils. Johnny was no longer in need of learning how to read and Mary had no need of learning how to write. Social grade promotions were normal if you failed they still passed you, no one needed to earn grades. College entrance exams like the SAT test where shaved by as much as twenty points to allow certain minority students entrance. Education no longer focused on the needs of the individual but the group as a whole thus socialism took a deep root. We were being taught socialism in the guise of education , in order to be accepted you acted, thought and were taught to be apart of the group or you simply were not accepted.
The word,” sedition”, comes to mind when I think back on my teenage and college years. We were a generation taught in our schools by teachers who were indoctrinated in college to teach socialism. The media did their part by glamorizing this was the right thing to do. .Got to be hip or you are not cool The communist had infiltrated our colleges disguised as professors and those graduates took jobs as teachers in the public school all around the country. The nightly news began to lean towards the more liberal views and made sure it was viewed from that perspective. Movie stars like Jane Fonda sided with the communist of North Viet Nam and was proud of kicking and spitting on soldiers coming home from war in airports. These events were paraded on the T.V. nightly and it was rare that anyone complained. The silent majority were applaud but they said nothing and they did nothing.I believe this was one of the biggest commencements of the principal push towards socialism ever to be enacted in America and its impact is the results we are witnessing today. The best example I can think of is Barak Hussein Obama seated in the Oval office of the White House.
A large number of those seated in the House and Senate today are some of the same people that participated in the flower child, hippy movement. Nevertheless, they were voted into office and given power to governor us. I have often wondered if anyone ever checked out the conduct of those they voted for prior to their political careers. Past dealings show a lot about a person’s present character. Ever heard of the old saying," a leopard never changes their spots"?
Along with each new bill that is passed into law there is a yet another small annihilation of our freedoms; all the while eroding the heart of the Constitution and our liberties as citizens. Last year millions of guilt ridden Americans were driven greatly out of shame and voted for “Change “and that is what we got and about all we have left in our pockets.
I personally have no guilt nor will I accept it as a reason to vote for anyone running for an office. I vote for men and women with character and good judgment. I never owned a slave nor did anyone in my family, so why would I feel guilty for a problem inherited by America from our predecessors. I also voted for a Black man for president as a matter of fact he was a write in candidate here on our ballot in Kentucky. I still voted for him not because I felt any shame or guilt but because he holds the same kinds of morals and values as I do. His character is like gold and he is steadfast in his convictions. He has never falter nor wavered about what he stands for that man is Dr. Alan Keyes. He was abandoned by the Republican Party because he would not bend to the politics as usual stasis quo mentality that has taken deep roots in the party. It felt good not to hold my nose and cast a vote for a liberal posing as a conservative, one of the RINO’s that has infiltrated the Republican Party. I am referring John McCain.
I have heard it said,” you can’t tell the difference in the parties’ any longer”, and I agree you can’t. Just because someone changes parties’ dose not mean they have changed their hearts, their convictions or what they acknowledge as truthful. It is because they see an advantage either of gaining power or money to advance their own careers of course this might not be true in every case. I know there are true conversions that spend relentless hours working towards to good of our nation. I am one of them, but for the majority the change is in their registration voter card and in fact it is done for their own political gain and not a sincere conversion of the person. Consequently, the outcome is liberal Republicans running for office being back by the GOP and than being elected solely because they have an R beside their name on the ballots. We have to face the facts Americans are rather naive when it comes to politicians. Millions of dollars are spent each election both from the Republicans and Democrats. After all hardly any of them fulfill the empty promises they make while they are bidding for our votes. Do they? Think about it. Political speeches are designed to entice and excite the listeners and rarely give an honest illustration of the candidate.
Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Become an educated voter; truthfully get to know the whole candidate before you cast that precious vote. Ask questions. Look them in the eyes while they answer you. Take a fine tooth comb to them like you would a dog with fleas and you might discover that they aren’t at all who they are portraying while bidding for your vote.
This is why I support a Bill Johnson. He is not a career Politician nor is he seeking power and money. He is running his campaign strictly from grassroots efforts. I have personally stuck his feet to the fire on every issue I can think of from health care to foreign policy and he stands firm on his convictions. He does not support government run health care nor does he believe we should be soft on present dangers out side the United States nor inside that could potentially cause us harm. He is a gulf war vet, business man husband, father and Christian who loves his country and with your vote he can help stop the nonsense coming out of Washington.

Pandering for the conservative vote in Kentucky
We all know politics can be a dirty game and even here in Kentucky we have those that are cloaked as a Republican’s but at heart are Libertarians or liberals that have infiltrated the Republican Party. Every state has its RINOS, (republican in name only) of course if you look into their voting records it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what they really are. Ron Paul sure duped many Texans and found himself elected; now his son Rand thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of conservative Republicans here as well in the Kentucky race for U.S. Senate. Trey Grayson sold out the GOP years ago and continues to sell out his fellow Kentuckians. There is a lot of folk’s pandering for the conservative vote in the coming 2010 elections in every state .Let’s look at some facts about the so called pro-life stand Rand Paul takes.
For those who believe Rand Paul is pro-life.....
from the Courier-Journal:
And on abortion, Paul expressed discomfort with federal laws but said he “probably” would have voted for a federal ban on a procedure that has been called partial-birth abortion by its opponents. ( probably?? So he thinks it might be a bad idea to suck the brains out of a child during delivery!!! I think they call that murder!
Of course there is this, too:
He acknowledged such a position conflicts with his states-rights position but said, “Some things may be so primary that we have to consider protection at the federal level.”Primary?? So the right to live is a primary issue!! Here I was thinking it was a God given right and let me see don’t that old document called the Constitution say something about “unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and Property”?
If Rand can’t decide what he believes even before the primaries that what kinds of decisions will he make if he were to be elected? Maybe he could just not vote at all like many of them do. A senator’s vote can’t be” undecided” like an internet poll.
Rand is counting on the younger generation to cast their uninformed ballots for him because he talks a good talk and says exactly what they want to here. No matter how you slice it he is still his fathers son.
We have a little known” Reagan conservative” also running for U.S. Senator here in Kentucky and he isn’t running on his fathers coat tail of connections, or pandering to the beliefs he does not hold himself , he is running simply because he loves his country and because he cares about Kentucky and understands the socialistic agenda that has been set by the new administration in Washington . His name is Bill Johnson. Before you cast your vote in May next year please do yourself and your fellow Kentuckians a small favor and check out all the candidates’ before you vote. I for one support Bill Johnson for U.S. Senate. He is a solid “Reagan conservative” like most Republicans here in Kentucky.
Bill Johnson’s key stands on the important issues are:
1.Pro-life life begins at conception: will push for a personhood amendment
2.Strong military / peace through strength
3.Private healthcare/ Government should not be involved
4.Abundance of energy using Kentucky resources
5.Traditional values/ Marriage is between one man and one woman
6.Pro-Israel / a Jewish state
