She’s always gives her best and she gave it all this week. You’re right about that!
Question is, can he win the general????
Today is a great day. Now we need to do the same in California, Connecticut, Nevada, and Colorado.
Well.. I do try. And, I take my vote seriously. If you search, you'll see that.. several months ago, I was leaning toward Greyson. But, I was imposing my views about Ron onto Rand.. and, that wasn't fair.
As late as last week, I heard Greyson on WHAS radio... SAYING things that I liked. I still think he would have been far better than Conway or Mongiardo... but, I've heard that kind of slick talk too often before.
All I really needed to know was: Greyson thought he could win by trying to scare the elderly about SS cuts. THAT ad, more than anything else... convinced me.
On Nationwide level.
A low turnout is good, too. Means only those truly motivated and educated to vote go out and vote. Means busloads and busloads of idiots told whom to vote for by their day laborer organizers, union halls and student unions, may well be absent in November 2010 as they were out in force in November 2008 for Obozo. That will indeed be good news for the Republic.
“Libertines might want to chill. Paul is not one of yours.”
Not all libertarians are pro-infanticide.
YIPPEE!!!
I predict a very tought race... If Conway wins.. and I think he will... he will be formidable.
Conway is nice looking, well-spoken... has good name recognition..... He's also pretty experienced at politics. Rand will have to run a good race, and continue speaking from his heart, directly to the people.
But.. to answer your question... YES! he can.

Alex Jones: "You're basically what I would call a chip off the old block. Your policies are basically identical to your father, correct?"
Rand Paul:"I'd say we'd be very very similar. We might present the message sometimes differently.. I think in some ways the message has to be broadened and made more appealing to the entire Republican electorate because you have to win a primary."
- Rand Paul on "The Alex Jones Show", 5/21/09
Justin Raimondo: "Is rolling back the empire not the first order of business for shoring up the economy?"
Rand Paul: "Yes I think they're interrelated, and they've become the politicial coalition you need to win a race basically. Because here are people on the left who acknowledge the vast expenditures of the military industrial complex, and there are people on the right who are beginning to understand that. There's a sort of left-right paradigm that you bring these groups together in order to try to win an election. I think it's coming."

Intellectually your understanding of libertarianism is sadly deficient. First, there’s no such thing as the Libertine Party. Neither the Libertarian Party nor the libertarian idea has anything to do with libertinism. Libertinism is the absence of moral restraints. Libertarianism is rooted in a strict moral philosophy of just conduct: i.e., that no human being or group of human beings has the right to initiate violence, coercion or fraud.
Your assertion that libertarians think that one can do whatever one wants without consequences is patently false. The whole idea of libertarianism is that individuals face the consequences of their actions for good or ill.
The only thing you have half-right is that Libertarians would not have the State compel individuals to sacrifice their values at the altar of society. However, nowhere does the Gospel instruct the State to force people to sacrifice their values for others. Rather, Christians are instructed in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver”.
Oh, and by the way, I refer you Galatians 5:1, “Stand fast in the liberty wherein Christ has set you free.” Sounds kind of like the Apostle Paul thought “liberty” was a good thing.
And, finally, Rand Paul is a Republican, not a member of the Libertarian Party.
You must be an Obama woman.
I thought so.
(Strange)
Who are you talking about?
Brian Rooney. And I had hopes for him. Not as a for the 7th district seat but for instate politics. But if he’s running around with the main street republicans I don’t trust him in Lansing either.
No, sorry, but you do have to take her endorsements as a whole. Don’t try to minimize them - we are not ignorant of her endorsements! Just give us the facts, both good and bad. We really don’t need another CNN on FreeRepublic.

NOT GOOD.
“You must be an Obama woman.”
So, you’re eleven?
A statement that does Ron Paul kookery justice.
