Daily Kos on Rand Paul

[Flash]

KY-Sen: Senate candidate Rand Paul's army of supporters (reminiscent of his father's presidential acolytes) have been busy little bees over the past few days. They managed to raise six figures for their man in a one-day "money bomb." They also managed to freep the living crap out of PPP's weekly poll of their readers to determine the next site of their polling. Ergo, it looks like we will be seeing some polling data out of Kentucky before the year is out. After all, the Ron Rand Paul Revolution has spoken!

Gotta love the two political parties buried in 20 foot trenches just throwing grenades in the general direction of the opposition. One mention of free market and democrats are trained to pull the pin... never mind that we haven't had a free market in a very long time.

Those smug little.... (well, you know what they are).:rolleyes:

Agreed, the Revolution has spoken, yet again..

The author isn't DKos in general; the guy who writes it is named Steve Singiser.

He releases this electoral news column about four times per week. It really is one of the best political wrap-ups on the Internet, and I read it every night to keep up on electoral news.

He is pretty fair to us. He mentions alot of goings-ons in our wing of the party if they merit mainstream attention. He has run several mentions of Peter Schiff, Rand Paul, Jon del Arroz back when he was running, Chuck Devore, and other related news. And he reads IPR (http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com), Ballot-Access News (http://www.ballot-access.org), and Dave Weigel's articles, all great resources for polticial news relevant to the liberty movement.

His political analysis has always been fair to me. Politics and political ideology must, to a certain extent, be cast as independent of one another if you truly want to understand one or the other. Anyone hear ever realize that much of Macchiavelli's work in his second prominent book, Discourses, actually advocated for many classical liberal ideas? Macchiavelli simply understood on one field one must understand how one could take power; on the other, one must understand what is right and does not violate side-constraints.

wth are "side-constraints"?

Sounds like it belongs on a saddle. ;)

Side-constraints are the libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick's idea that you are morally restricted from doing certain actions regardless of liberty to do whatever you want. IE, certain actions are illegitmate.
