They've always been a set of twins who would rather felate democrats than stand with the libertarian side of the GOP.


Been watching CSPAN for hours. I would love a Paul/Cruz ticket. Unfortunately never going to happen. Instead Cristie is being touted.

Rand Paul 2016

And the MSM glossed right over it mentioning the filibuster for it's novelty as news without explaining that the discussion is the AG's declaration that they CAN use drones to attack US citizens on US soil even if they are not posing an imminent threat and without due process.

The topic of Paul's discussion should preempt everything on TV and be on every channel. If Bush had said ANYTHING like this it would be 24 hours of coverage about how the President wants to kill Americans.

Last election I called the Romney nomination due to the same type of stuff. Fox started posting 'polls' and talking up Romney even before any of them have announced they were running. Christie is the next one following the same 'trend'. May change but I think Fox works with the GOP to push their desired candidate, and as time gets closer we'll see who the GOP pick is, and Fox will start posting polls and comparing them to Obama or whoever the Dem pick appears to be.


Then we will get debates on here about not voting for whoever the Fox/GOP picked for us is a vote for the Democrat, and how the first step to getting a real candidate is voting for whoever they tell us is the only person who can defeat the dem. Then we'll get another election with record low turnout and these people will be silent.

Not only does it make me sick, it disturbs me that people don't realize he'd be the machine's so called "winnable" candidate that Karl Rove is the puppet master. Did no one learn anything from Bush II, McCain, or Romney or do they just vote for who Fox News tells them to? The buzz seems to be "I like how tough Christie sounds and he's tough on unions." Are people really stupid enough to vote for just that?

After Christie loses...the cons will go on and on about how libertarians sold them out.

Meanwhile the GOP has been purging conservatives off committee spots, changed the rules so the GOP can override state delegate votes, and Karl Rove is leading the iniative to make sure Tea Party types don't win primaries.

But...Karl Rove's machine has supported Libertarians to hear him tell it :sarcastic:

I hope the CPAC snub of Christie carries some momentum and if they don't decide to mend fences that leaves whoever they decide should be President. Even though they pretend to support the Tea Party and Libertarians I'm afraid they'll keep the mentality of the past.

ETA: Then again three years is a long time for people to forget about Christies fellatio of Obama post Sandy.

Maybe Rubio can be a slightly more moderate VP pick fot Paul assuming the unthinkable happens and Paul wins the Republican primaries.

Hopefully, we will be tossing out OTHER RINO GOP'er, John Cornyn, this 2014 election cycle.

I remember Cornyn had a big banner on his website back when TARP and all the other cash injections/bailouts were occurring. It stated "John Cornyn Voted Against The Bailouts!" And he did...the first time they were put to a vote...then he voted for them.

Absolutely sleazy. Perhaps not the worst, but not up to the standards the Cruz has already set in his short time in office.

Cornyn supported RINO David Dewhurst against Ted Cruz in the 2012 Senate race here in Texas.

He also supported Charlie Crist in FL against then running Marco Rubio.

Cornyn is like Kay Hutchison...a country clubber GOP'er that would side with Graham or McCain long before he would help Cruz or Paul.

Sorry...he needs to go.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's hair has been the subject of frequent speculation, but we can officially put the rumors to rest.
Paul recently confirmed to Business Insider that he cuts his own hair.
Sources close to Paul also confirm that his hair is his own, and not a hairpiece, as is often speculated.

Alright, enough of the hair. I don't give a flying **** what dude looks like as long as he believe in the Constitution, fights for real freedom and casts supporting votes for it, so far he's knocking it out of the park.

Here is somewhat of an off topic comment, statement, question.

Ted Cruz's bio stated that he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. While his mother was a US citizen at that time and his father's nationality was not clearly stated (he was a refugee from Cuba, i.e. he was Cuban). If his father was not a naturalized citizen at that time, what does that make Ted's nationality? and considering where he was born, that really muddied up the water.

He was born a United States citizen. Possibly he is also Canadian.

Whether being born a citizen is the same as being "natural born citizen." Seems up for debate, but considering that he's never renounced his citizenship I believe that it would be ruled in his favor.

Most countries do not grant automatic citizenship when you are born within its borders. I do not know if Canada does or not.

It's apparent to me McCain likes Democrats more than the libertarian side of his own party. While running against Obama he says 'we have nothing to fear from Obama' basically endorsing Obama should he win, and didn't allow his own campaign staff to say anything bad about Obama.

I also just read an old article from around then that showed McCain entertained the idea of switching parties a few times and even reached out to Kerry as a possible running mate during the 2004 race.

How is this douche considered a 'leader' of the Republican party? Then people on here wonder why I won't vote for these 'progressive republicans'...this is why. They feel closer at home with Obama than with libertarian types.

Remember back when the NDAA was being done McStain and his fellow progressive Graham were saying the government should be able to detain and send Americans to GITMO without any due process and keep them their indefinitely: http://www.progressive.org/mccain_says_american_citizens_can_be_sent_to_guantanamo.html

McStain has long been a proponent of government power, and since 9/11 has constantly voted in more government power with little to no regard for our rights as Americans, and he really ought to just switch parties and leave the Republican party alone so people like me can vote for them again. They are leading the party to ruin, and which is why the total number of people voting Republican in presidential races has gone down each election 3 cycles in a row. They are running off conservatives and libertarians in droves with their big government, Democrat loving, anti-freedom/rights take over of the GOP.

Quoted you as it is worth repeating that MCAIN IS A PIECE OF SHIT. This is unbelievable that he has any credibility as Republican after criticizing fellow Repubs while dining with Obama.

I guess he gets re-elected to the Senate by Arizonians the same way brain dead guys like Ted Kennedy (good riddance) and John Kerry get re-elected in Mass. There is a hand behind the curtain, it sure as hell is not based on their character.

I think a new party is needed. Libertarian Party is too wrapped up in dope and stupid causes and NOT taking the front line for guns, fiscal responsibility, etc. Call it the FOAD Party or something.

We are fighting here in Texas to get more libertarian candidates elected. Whats disturbing to me is how fierce the old guard is down here in opposing anyone who doesn't fit the RINO big government mantra. The GOP at the state level has called the police on libertarians after they were voted out of office (in LA). Here they simply change the rules on a whim to keep themselves in office.

The GOP, at the last convention, also changed the rules so they can over ride state delegate votes and nominate whoever they want. So even if Rand Paul were nominated in the primaries the GOP can just nominate their RINO of the month.

But when it comes to their dealing with Democrats they are open arms, and chastise anyone who doesn't gush over Obama and 'reach across the aisle'. Remember what a big deal McStain made in the 08 election about reaching across the aisle, and then Romney constantly talked about how he worked with Democrats when he was the Masshole governor. These people despise libertarians, and then we are told over and over again unless we vote for their RINO who hates us and loves Democrats that we're actually voting for the Democrat.

Boehner, as part of the new 2013 Congress, took away a lot of leadership positions and comittee assignments from people in the Tea Party Caucus and gave them to fellow RINO's. Tea Party people are not even libertarians but mostly conservatives....people who are supposed to be the 'base' of the GOP. Its obvious the current GOP is going to go to extreme lengths to exclude conservatives and libertarians from having any part of the GOP...yet come election time talk up small government and blame us when they lose. There were threads on here after Obama won last year, people accused me of helping Obama win.

I simply won't be voting for anymore GOPers in my area or on the national level aside from a select few until they get their heads of out their asses and worth within the party and try to include everyone. That goes for how people like Boehner runs the House, our state GOP, and how currently elected leadership like McStain decide to act. I can't in good conscience prop up a party that, as I said, hates me but touts the Obama love.

Actually...what happened in Ted Cruz's race for the Texas US Senate seat in 2012 should give everyone some hope.

How so?

Well, Ted Cruz was running against Lt. Governor David Dewhurst. A very well heeled and well connected sitting Lt. Governor.

Dewhurst is a classic RINO (ala McCain/Graham) and he had MUCH more campaign money and tons more advertisement going. He had endorsements galore and the backing of establishment country clubber GOP biggies in the state of Texas.

Well...the Libertarian/Tea Party base detested Dewhurst and backed Ted Cruz.

In the end...with little money and exposure...Ted Cruz handily beat Dewhurst in a real "we the people" moment.

Now, you see Cruz up there fighting the good fight and I guarantee you that Dewhurst would NOT have joined Paul on that filibuster.

So have some hope....if the Libertarian/Tea Party types stick together and fight hard...they CAN overcome the GOP establishment and their money soaked power base.

This HAS to be done nation-wide or America as we know it is finished.

Dewhurst is a classic RINO (ala McCain/Graham) and he had MUCH more campaign money and tons more advertisement going. He had endorsements galore and the backing of establishment country clubber GOP biggies in the state of Texas.

Well...the Libertarian/Tea Party base detested Dewhurst and backed Ted Cruz.

In the end...with little money and exposure...Ted Cruz handily beat Dewhurst in a real "we the people" moment.

Now, you see Cruz up there fighting the good fight and I guarantee you that Dewhurst would NOT have joined Paul on that filibuster.

So have some hope....if the Libertarian/Tea Party types stick together and fight hard...they CAN overcome the GOP establishment and their money soaked power base.

This HAS to be done nation-wide or America as we know it is finished.

As of late people have been questioning my moral fortitude for considering leaving Colorado in light of recent events for a state like Texas. While it is in part due to the draconian laws that are currently being passed it's also due in part to things I read like this from other states. Like the rep from Wyoming who told the libs to leave the state if they didn't like the laws about schools. Those are the things that make me want to JOIN those fights more than leave the fight here. It seems to me that the ground swell is starting in places other than Colorado and it would be easier to make the voices heard the more that there are in those areas. The same voices here appear to be falling on deaf ears so where's the point?

Thanks for the detailed local info and I will share this info in some of the debates occurring in forums specific to firearms and the sate of Colorado.

"If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids. I don't think what happened yesterday is helpful to the American people." -John McCain

Juan the Manchurian Candidate Mccain is an embarassment. Graham is a Democrat by description . Both show the stupidity of the Voters in their respective districts.
