I bet you that there are a lot of Coultards that are shaking their heads lately each and every night and asking: “Why, why, why, why?”

I heard Cut and Run has already shipped into Iowa his biggest supporters.

There’s a lot of people unhappy, and they’re not so happy with the two-party system because we have had people go in and out of office, congress changes, the presidency changes, they run on one thing, they do something else. Nothing ever changes."

I have to agree with this statement, a lot of people are getting tired of business as usual in DC. I don’t agree with the way OWC is trying to bring about the change.

political promises

And if he does bolt, we won’t beat Obama. The libertarians in the GOP will bolt with him.

Cut and Run going third party will hurt Obama more than whoever the Republican is. None of his supporters (the OWS gang) will ever support someone who wants to keep America safe or does not want to legalize illegal drugs.
He will also take the far left vote that thinks Obama is too conservative. The surrender running third party will guarantee a Republican win.

If I were Rand Paul I would find out 2 things.

1. Why was I named Rand?

2. Where do I get the paperwork to have Ron committed

"The Tea Party and Occupy people are just tired of it all," he said. "And they would like to see changes."

Ron Paul is correct, but the direction each groups want to take America is the key:

- Occupy wants Socialism
- Tea Party wants Constitutionalism

I'm with the latter "-ism"

Libertarians are heavily influenced by anarchism, from what I understand.

Bet you Rand Paul, his son, has to shake his head every night and say “Why, Why, Why”.

Actually I rather suspect Rand believes pretty much what his Dad does. He just doesn't say so. Don't get me wrong, I like Rand Paul's stated views and the job he has done so far in the Senate, I am just suspicious that he is really a libertarian like his Dad but knows he couldn't win statewide elections in Kentucky if he admitted as much.

He'll be joining the 1% soon. No, not that 1%.

Mutt is right on every issue. It’s easy when you take both sides of every issue. Coulter has lost her mind.

If I had doubts about Ron Paul before, I don’t now. If he can praise the 99% useless goons, I can’t vote for him ever.
