I’m willing to give Rand the benefit of the doubt because I like Jim DeMint.

I think DeMint might be the next president.

I'm still with Palin, for now. Would love to see DeMint as Senate Majority Leader.

Unfortunately there is no one better in that race.

His nutcase father has been the most consistent fiscal conservative over his career.

I wouldn’t elect him president but we need more like him in the legislature.

Palin is high on my list too.

DeMint, Palin, Bachmann, Ryan, the ones who have been speaking up while everyone else has been waiting to see which way the winds blow.

If you think that, then you are the nutcase. Watch a long form interview with Rand Paul, he is far from a nutcase, and much closer to real conservatism than George W. Bush will ever be.

You can disagree with him, but the nutcase label is just....well...insane.

According to Sarah Palin

And she knows WAY more than normal folks, you should listen to her.

Right? Goddess-like understanding far surpassing that of mortals? Right?

“Polls can't stop your boy Trey Grayson
Never heard of him. Is he someone I should know about?”

As usual, proudly proclaiming your ignorance to the world.

Kentucky politics matter little to those of us in Texas.

We rarely pay attention to the antics of lesser states.

Paul, however, is linked to our 14th CD.. and is a nutcase.

Got a problem with that?

Tea Party Obama is like a Communist Reagan - both oxymorons. Actually O is just a moron.

That’s swell. Barack Obama won a few polls himself. These things happen when morons overrun the country.

L. Ron Jr. is still a whack job and a fraud. All the polls in the world can’t change that.

Well, in addition to Sarah Palin, you can add in Jim DeMint, James Dobson, Jim Bunning, Steve Forbes, Dick Armey, the Concerned Women For America, and the Gun Owners of America.

But, heck, if you think that ALL of them are wrong, then why don't you sing us the praises of RINO boy Trey Grayson. Hey, you've still got almost 4 days to beat Rand Paul!

(Shrugs). As I've said many a time, in the NM 3rd District race, I do not support Adam Kokesh. Republicans have a more proven and experienced Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Fiscally-Conservative Anti-War Republican candidate in Kokesh's opponent, Tom Mullins.

I've expressed that sentiment plenty of times, so I don't know why you keep lying about me in that regard. Perhaps it's just that Lies are all you have left.
