Will RPK Come To Know Limited Accountable Government
David Williams could have stepped out of the shadows of past record failures, bathed in the waters of a constitutional baptising, by providing the duty of the office and ensure the right of due process upon a citizen petition to remove an elected public official from office before their term. It may have carried all or more republican candidates into office this go around. Maybe not. But who knows these things? Maybe Aqua Budda does.

Not All Tea Alike But Independent Side Remains Strong
Real Tea asks what is limited accountable state government? Maybe a thinking to returning the power to the counties, and the people thereof, as independent entities, restoring the non lawyer county judge offices with judicial powers as it existed pre-1976. These substantive constitutional changes in the structure of state government, among another power grab and fraud upon Kentuckians, were not proposed in the disclosure to Kentuckians by the special interests who veiled the process with vague language of "modernizing" the courts. They set a course for government largess in lavish pensions and other benefits. You may have heard it called double dipping, or revolving door retirement stacking, or Senior Judge program.
Some groups call themselves TEA and linger with the old Newt Gingrich type of first fake republican revolution, in which contract with america was grossly broken. Some trickle down remnants of snake oil gone by, This local flavor of TEA (which stands for Taxed Enough Already) is a recycled Republican machine term from the 90's that blends with Real Tea on this point. TEA fails to remedy the size of existing government by continuing the two party two step of keeping the entrenched government largess tax money hole, and all of it's agents, in place. Both parties candidates in state always give the wink and the nod to maintain to the totality of state government paychecks. Here is wherre you know the Real Tea from the Republican Party TEA.
The 912ers in state are many good people. They followed a paid comentator who eventualled confused the heck out of many real tea with so many 360's that culminated with his having G. Edward Griffen on near the end, and the creation of the Federal Reserve as the subject. ( which speculation suggested Beck gained a few Tea points by putting it out there.)
Real Tea flys the gadsden flag as a symbol of independence from socialism A or B. The Republican parties TEA side took up this symbol in an attempt to convey a new image, but politics as usual takes over and the same internal pecking order heir apparent candidates still jump in the mix. TEA doesn't seem to distinguish between these old, and the rarer new "outsider" candidates. Real Tea does and will only support those cadidates who make the grade, take the pledges, and walk the walk. Nothing of the old internal Republican pecking order is supported by Real Tea.
As Rothbard pointed out about the "Reagan Period" :
I am convinced that the historic function of Ronald Reagan was to co-opt, eviscerate and ultimately destroy the substantial wave of anti-governmental, and quasi-libertarian, sentiment that erupted in the U.S. during the 1970s. Did he perform this task consciously? Surely too difficult a feat for a man barely compos. Reagan was wheeled into performing this task by his Establishment handlers.
The task of co-optation needed to be done because the 1970s, particularly 1973–75, were marked by an unusual and striking conjunction of crisis – crises that fed on each other to lead to a sudden and cumulative disillusionment with the federal government.
The Reagan candidacy of 1980 was brilliantly designed to weld a coalition providing the public’s instinctive anti-government mood with sweeping, but wholly nonspecific, libertarian rhetoric, as a convenient cover for the diametrically opposite policies designed to satisfy the savvy and politically effective members of that coalition: the neocons, the Buckleyite cons, the Moral Majority, the Rockefellers, the military-industrial complex, and the various Establishment special interests always clustering at the political trough.Real Tea in Kentucky knows a thing or two about the two party two step, and says ain't buying anymore. It's affiliates want limited accountable government back and restored functional citizen petitions to remove or impeach any public official who harms another Kentuckian, and injuries by government actors should be indemnified.

McCONNELL- Hedging his bets?
Grayson who was previously a democrat, and former delegate for Bill Clinton, now turned republicrat is getting some help from a former McConnell Aide. Upon Joe Gerth's Blog Page with the Courier Journal the story is told.
Justin Brassell, who ran U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell's 2008 reelection campaign, is now helping Secretary of State Trey Grayson in his non-campaign for U.S. Senate. Grayson has created an exploratory committee and said he has no plans to challenge Sen. Jim Bunning, but is beginning to look more and more like an actual candidate. In an interview Wednesday night, Brassell said he is serving as a volunteer advisor to Grayson. He said that if Grayson decides to get into the race, his role with the campaign may be formalized but that he doesn't see himself moving back to Kentucky from South Dakota, where he is running Sen. John Thune's reelection campaign. Thune could be a a candidate for president in 2012.
Brassell said he and Grayson plan to meet and talk this week in Minnesota while Grayson is there for a National Association of Secretaries of State conference. "It's only a four-hour drive," he said.
Many conservative voters have grown wise to the "politics as usual" in the Republican Party of Kentucky. They have reviewed the records of McConnell and Bunning and they see that they are looking less and less conservative, McConnell being the lesser conservative of the two. And again while Jim Bunning has been the more conservative of the two, he has been less conservative on issues that have enlarged the size of government. Jim Bunnings service has been appreciated.
NEW BLOOD
Many conservative voters are already lining up behind an exploratory candidate who stands upon the principles of a true conservative.
Rand Paul, an eye surgeon from Bowling Green Kentucky, and the Son of Texas Congressman Ron Paul, announced his exploratory committee and the growing grassroots support is becoming a phenomenon.
With a clear vision for Kentucky, and a deeply experienced understanding of the current monetary crisis in the country, Rand Paul's message is resonating with conservative voters, and it's about time they had a candidate they can actually believe in.

A Different Kind of Republican
'I have little interest in streamlining government or making it more efficient for I mean to reduce it,'" Paul said, as one of his favorite quotes from the late Sen. Barry Goldwater, a champion among conservatives.Paul, who spent the weekend in Northern Kentucky, said the GOP has lost its way and that a more conservative voice representing Kentucky is needed in Washington.
Recalling Reagan and quoting Goldwater, Paul spent more than an hour talking to and taking questions from about 25 local business owners, political activists and others.
They gathered at the invitation of developer Matt Toebben, meeting with Paul in the board room of his Crescent Springs office building.
Republicans, Paul said, have lost their "believability" by contributing to federal deficits and debt during the George W. Bush years and when the GOP held Congress.
During his talk Paul touched some of the major tenets of his campaign platform including allowing school vouchers, eliminating the federal department of education, promoting marketplace solutions in the debate over health care reform, adhering to the U.S. Constitution when passing laws and trimming federal spending.
Paul said he has no plans to take Bunning on, but he pointed out that Bunning said he is in the race as long as he hits his fund-raising goals. The next campaign finance report is due in mid-July and many contributors to Bunning's past campaigns are now supporting Grayson or Paul.
"We need some new energy, and we need some new direction," Paul said.
"If Jim Bunning doesn't run," Paul said, "we need to have a primary."
We must take Kentucky and America Back.
