With this endorsement, I almost wish I lived there so I could vote for him.Rand Paul is a fucking idiot. I support the other Republican over that unthinking lunatic nutjob.

Me too. Luckily, I can still contribute to the campaign.With this endorsement, I almost wish I lived there so I could vote for him.
By the way, since I sort of brought this up on the thread about taxes (or the thread that WAS about taxes), I just want to say that Rand Paul, just like his father, is not perfect.
You hear me? This guy I'm supporting wholeheartedly is absolutely not perfect.
I disagree with some of the ways he's gone about representing some of our common ideas. I even disagree with him about some of his ideas entirely and don't share them.
But he is going to make an exceptional Senator and the best contribution to the highest deliberative body in the land in a very, very long time.
That's why people should support him, and that's why Sarah Palin, and her supporters, and me, and people who disagree on lots of different things, can still reach a consensus that this candidate can help move the country in the right direction.
See? I don't object to everything Sarah Palin does:

With each day the possibility of a Senator Paul seems more and more a reality.
But he could be named Senator Nobody for all I care. It's the ideas that matter, and Rand Paul's got 'em.
How nice for you.
If you had been paying attention to what she has been saying, you'd know she said she would be was raising money for small government conservative candidates.
You bought into the media's bias and so you dismissed her.

Well, I listen to what everyone says, and then I see if their actions follow through. There are other Palin endorsements I would disagree with that you might think are small government endorsements.
I think small government has a specific formula, and it's not just to promise cutting taxes or spending. It includes changing the trend in Washington about foreign policy and the use of government power.
You're retarded. You don't even know what my views are on either of those issues.
In what way does the trend in washington need to change?
How does small government involve government power?
How does the foreign policy view need to change?Well, the current foreign policy view hasn't changed under Republicans or Democrats. That's a trend, buckaroo, and someone's got to break it.
Yet I usually embarrass you into fleeing the board from shame.
No, I'm embarrassed for you and when, if ever, I've left our discussions, it's in recognition of the fact that I have much better things to do.
Like meeting with the ZOG to talk about how we're going to continue keeping you down.

And you get small government by giving government less power and restraining it more.
...You get it?
Something Sarah Palin stresses in nearly every speech she has given.
As I said before, Palin has been demonized by the media and the left, and many people simply don't realize they have been brainwashed. As another thread puts it, you don't like Palin and you're not sure why. We just see the media, the left, and yes, even the establishment republicans, lambasting her on a routine basis, and it collectively has an effect on perception.
To be fair, Adam, much the same thing happened to Ron Paul. Here's a great American with great ideas, but the media cast him as a kook, an extreme candidate, and the negative perception was formed. We have to stop listening to the media and what pundits tell us about the candidates, and actually start listening to what they have to say.
Ron Paul has been vindicated because people know the message he is communicating has been consistent...for 30 years. When he was running for President at first he couldn't get on TV if he tried, and now he's a staple.
He's easily the most famous member of Congress today after the leadership members. And it's the consistency and the depth that has them calling him back...in addition to ratings.
Sarah Palin can do the same thing. If she spends the next couple years going around and talking a solid game and then demonstrates it by endorsing candidates who actually do those kinds of things, then she'll be vindicated too. Not by everyone. But by enough people.
