Rand Paul is a registered Republican that was elected as a Republican by liberal republicans that held their nose and voted for a liberal republican. Until the Republicans OWN their liberal members, they will never get rid of them.

Eva -- holding the nose and voting R no matter what, when the guy wins .......

Casting the vote, owning up to what you voted against is easy. The only thing that matters, though, is owning up to what you voted FOR. The uniparty Republican "brand" is there because over the decades, that's what I was voting for when I was busy voting "against" the Democrats.

I own it. I admit it. A great line from a stupid movie -- "A good pilot is compelled to always evaluate what's happened, so he can apply what he's learned."

I held my nose for 30 years. In 2012, I evaluated what happened and am now applying what I learned: voting "against" is a fallacy, and voting for moderate Republicans always turns the Republican party left.

Now I vote for the most limited government conservative candidate that allows me to weaken leftists no matter which party they're in. Where the only choices on the ballot are leftists (as in the CA governor's race), I decline to participate and leave playing that losers' game to the losers who fall for the charade.

This way, I can always OWN what I've voted for and to hell with what I voted "against."

So, you would have me hold my nose and vote for the phony conservative, Rand Paul, who the new John McCain, and media darling, who has been traveling around pushing Progressive social justice.

Do you really think that social justice is a small government concept?
