I think when they cheated on the rules in Athens GA they probably took our best chance for Georgia, and I don't want anyone in GA giving us details here, anyhow, but I thought you'd be interested in the article.

LOL

So the Paul supporter is agreeing that there WILL be a delegate fight. GO, TEAM!!

P.S. Lack of an ethics fight reinforces the NEED to have a delegate fight, IMO. I hate living in a good 'ol boys state. UGH.

As a GA resident myself, "good 'ole boys" is about the best phrase to describe the GOP here. I remain firmly convinced that the worse possible outcome in any election is that one party controls everything, which the Tea Party sweep from the 2010 elections gave us. GOP holds every statewide seat here. And, as you might have guessed, they think it means they have free reign to do pretty much anything they want to do, and get away with it.

Which is why and I think all of us should be Republican in title rather than in party. Parties are vehicles to run elections, no more, no less. Anything else and we're no better than socialists and disregard Washington's warnings about political factions. We must be willing to challenge those in high places regardless of party.

In way we comprise a third party within a party. It's good advantage to have and we must understand this.

If I were in a Republican district and didnt think I could beat the incumbent in a primary, Id go Democrat, tailor my message, and run the same way. Rand Paul and Russ Feingold are bothe dark horses in 2016. It would be lovely if they were both nominated and if they bothe run in in 2016, I would support both in the primaries and probably Rand in the general. Just think: the only debate would be on economics. Non interventionism and civil liberties would be a given.

If you have Democrat friends who dont want to get involved in the Republican party, tell them to take over the Democrats and push civil liberties. Yes, liberty is derived from free markets, but if everyone in Congress agreed on civil liberties and the power only flipped on economic policy, that would be amazing.
