Just heard on Fox that Rand Paul won in Ky.
I may just have to steal it. Thanks.
What?
I think your PDS is telling especially when you Palinbots hijack threads on Pol wins and make it because Palin endorsed the flake he won.
I suppose you Palinbots will try that on Rubio also.
Don't forget Bruno.
I copied the list to an Open Office doc, for now. I’ll “View Source” to crib the HTML for the Links another day. Thanks again.
Umm... as a BIG Rand Paul supporter, why wouldn't I feel a certain appreciation for Governor Palin's strong, early endorsement of my preferred Republican senate candidate?
You'd take an acknowledgement of support, or an expression of gratitude, and label it a "thread hijacking".
Palin supporters have every right to celebrate another win for one of Sarah's endorsements, and with it the hopeful expansion of her base of supporters and alliances in the GOP.
What I don’t get is why everyone assumes that all libertarians, or even all Libertarians are Pro-Choice.
Umm because Palin didn’t push him to the win... And that is a fact.
But when you look at the voter turnout in the GOP primary versus the Dems primary, your man Rand now has a problem.
When the Dems lay it on for the kill on Rand, and they will, there will be many of us conservatives (who can think for ourselves) make sure to Thank You Rand supporters.
The Palinbots who want to drive Palin off the cliff will have to rationalize the loss in their own minds.
That’s what I’d be afraid of... I hope Paul has considered this possibility (considering what his Dad has gone through at various times he’s probably been thinking about it for a while...). The RINOs in the GOP have to be getting scared, and like you said there is nothing they hate more than folks who believe in the Constitution! I wouldn’t doubt it at all if the “establishment” locally and nationally don’t try to take him down themselves to prove some stupid notion of how a “Constitution-lover” can’t win...
As we can see by some of the posts on this thread it’s starting already...
I guess now he'll have some competition for the most honest man in Washington.
No, seriously, glad you had a great time. Now I'm off to research the respective voter turnouts between the Dems and GOP.
If we just programmed you to Post, "Everything Sarah Palin does is Wrong!", would that simplify things for all concerned?
Or do you think you might be persuaded to put that schtick on hold long enough to support Rand Paul for Senate, now that he's legitimately and overwhelmingly won the GOP nomination?
You'll post whatever you want, of course, I'm just curious...
He has the same problem that every Republican candidate in Kentucky has: a 3-1 voter registration discrepancy. A larger percentage of Republicans than Democrats turned out. Where is the problem?
I feel sorry for Conway, I really do. He is going to get crushed in the November Rand Slide and there is nothing he can do about it. What a forlorn hope.
Paul is lucky that Conway won.
If Mongiardo had won, he would creamed Paul in the general but Conway is liberal and Paul has a decent chance against him.
Remember to win in Kentucky, you have to appeal to sizeable amount of socially conservative democrats.
I didn’t write the comment you italicized in your post to me... So, I’m not sure why you are writing me about it. :)
No you aren’t.
ONCE called... doens't anymore.
IMO, our biggest threat at the moment is runaway spending. Paul will help fix that.
I favor the Patriot Act... but, we are seeing signs now that the goverment is going overboard on denying rights... to CITIZENS! Paul will be a voice against that.. and, yes.. I LIKE that.
There are millions of libertarians who are not Libertarians.
I have lurked on all (and posted on many) of the RP threads.....you see the same few names bitching about him, over and over again.
