    We didn't get Ron Paul the nomination because he made Republicans see their own hypocricy and they didn't appreciate him for it. They threw the election rather than reward him for it. Now Rand looks poised to do as much for the other 'team'. The nomination will be a challenge, once Fox turns on him. But the general election will be a bigger challenge. Last fall, we could have given Ron the general on a platter, if Republicans had more sense. Anyone who can actually get the nomination, on the other hand, could pose a challenge come November.
    The odds of RP beating Obama in the general election were very low. The polls showing him close to Obama were that way because no one was pummeling him in debates, in the media or in ads. Truthfully, I would be surprised if he would have won more than 7 states.

    Rand on the other hand could win a general election. I think people like Glenn Beck will stay the course with Rand. Most of the right wing talk show hosts will support him much more than they supported McCain or Romney. Everything is going to have to go right for Rand to win but it definitely feels doable. No reason why he can't win Iowa and New Hampshire even against tough opponents.

    They don't have a good thing to say about Rand. No matter that he opposes Obama on drone attacks and drug raids, he must be evil because he has an R after his name.

    They have been heavily conditioned.

    I find it ironic that many of them go nuts over the NRA ad on the president's children yet in the Huffpo comments many of them are attacking Rand's kids.

    Liberal logic!
    It's just more double-standards from the left. If they didn't have double-standards they'd have no standards at all.

    Nullification ftw

    The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    Lol, 33,000 comments.

    Smells like.... fear.
    "The average person figures that the president tells the truth, the vice president tells the truth, the secretary of state tell the truth; and they don't. They don't. The founders understood that people would be flawed, that political leaders would not be the best of men … so they set forth the constitution. We don't follow the constitution in this country; had we done so in 2001 and 2002, the world would be a different place" - Karen Kwiatkowski

    lol, when I see a headline I like on sites like Huff or Gawker, I know not to read the comments.


    Rand makes liberals feel so threatened, he is an obvious choice in the GOP. It would be a great talking point if I was talking to voters in IA and NH primaries.
    Los Angeles County Republican Party (the largest GOP central committee in the nation)
    -57% of the executive board is liberty
    -43% of the executive committee is liberty
    -40% of the central committee is liberty

    Getting involved at the local level is the most important thing you can do to WIN

    be ACTIVE, be EFFECTIVE, be ORGANIZED, be STRATEGIC, be VICTORIOUS.

    HuffingtonCOMpost comments are always absolutely horrible, just a bunch of hateful, knuckle-dragging, and mouth breath progressive bigots
    "Power tends to confuse itself with virtue...conferring upon it a special responsibility for other nations—to make them richer and happier and wiser, to remake them, that is, in its own shining image. Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence. Once imbued with the idea of a mission, a great nation easily assumes that it has the means as well as the duty to do God's work." - William Fulbright

    Didn't Obama LOSE like 10 million votes? The machine isn't as strong as you give it credit for. Romney got LESS votes then Mccain. I think it wasn't the machine that got Obama the win, it was the fact that Romney was a terrible candidate. Even with all that hate for Obama and the fact that he loss 10 million votes, Romney managed to get less votes then McCain. That should say something right there.
