Let him enjoy his little victories while he can.
LOL, they’re ‘little victories’ if Rep. Paul places first. But let him come in 3rd or 4th and all the sudden the straw polls mean something. Can’t have it both ways. Despite a concerted media blackout, Rep. Paul is getting the message of liberty and freedom out. A message contrary to today’s Republican message
