    Mitt would have won with or without Lee's backing. It's really not that bad. It's like Rand endorsing McConnell. Who saw that coming!

    Sometimes Rand and Lee are team players but if you study their votes they're anti-big spending and anti-war. What more do you want? They're probably the best senators since Taft and once in a generation unless they inspire others to get there(which they are doing). Bear in mind how difficult it is to get to the US Senate especially if you believe in limited government. The enormous cost of campaigns forces them all to sell out to lobbyists and that's where the problem lies.

    How about we stop worrying about Senators and start worrying about Governors, State Legislators, & State Judges. Washington DC is hopeless. Political energy should be spent developing a shield (the states) to protect against the usurpation of undelegated power.

    It's not easy finding people to step up. But there are some trying to get to DC to make a difference.

    The bigger question is why you are trying to justify their bad behavior?

    Endorsements are not that important in the grand scheme of things. Ron made some terrible endorsements in TX because he was told to be a good team player to keep committee positions, etc. The way Rand/Lee vote is important and you should look at that .

    That is completely false. Has been one of the only Senators complementary of Ron Paul. He definitely didn't hate Ron Paul. Feel free to post those hatred comments though. I am sure they must exist if you made the claim.

    Also Ron endorsed him https://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...ike-Lee-Senate

    There's no strawman argument there. Did you just create a straw strawman?

    He is talking about Lee. Read the post he made a few minutes before the one I quoted.

    Somebody is assuming facts not in evidence, and trying to create evidence out of circumstance which us in no way conclusive.

    I was talking about Matt Collins most recently. Are you assuming I'm talking about him now? Or am I allowed to change the subject?

    Show proof of this. It must have already happened since Rand endorsed McConnell, right? It's always about policy.

    During drill-time Kantorek gave us long lectures until the whole of our class went, under his shepherding, to the District Commandant and volunteered. I can see him now, as he used to glare at us through his spectacles and say in a moving voice: "Won't you join up, Comrades?"
    These teachers always carry their feelings ready in their waistcoat pockets, and trot them out by the hour. But we didn't think of that then.

    President Donnell endorsed Take the Guns first, then voted for the Bumpstock Ban & Raising the Age for gun purchases to 21.
    Evil endorsements, lead to evil gov edicts.

    Except that Ron's endorsements held zero consequence, plus his voting record was perfect. Rand's endorsement of Mitch the bitch meant that Bevin couldn't gain traction against him. Rand's (and Mike's) support for Kavanaugh and Pompeo is also a huge black stain which is just flat out embarrassing for someone who purports to support liberty and the Constitution.

    acptulsa is correct.

    I was referring to Huntsman.

    Thanks for playing though.

    Drama queen.

    If nominations are *so* important why does NO group in their right mind score for it?

    Like I said perhaps you can run for U.S Senate yourself and should you beat the 1 billion to one odds you can become a senator and your own perfect candidate. I'm sure if you did someone on the internet will still find fault with you

    I don't think an endorsement changes the way one looks at policy.

    The most Constitutionally / liberty minded score card usually scores these things but probably didn't want to in those cases because it would lower Rand and Mike's score. Hint: scoring is arbitrary regardless of the group doing it. Although it has Rand and Mike at 94% which is about where I would put them if I had to score them myself.

    Thomas is the best example to date. Ron is a close example.

    It says exactly what it said before. And I still don't believe it.

    If Rand Paul's Endorsement is all that, what happened to President Romney? Care to read that question again word for word?

    Who has the highest score after Mike Lee/Rand Paul?

    Are you trying to argue they're sell outs who are no better than Lamar Alexander or Sen. Romney? Because clearly they're not sell outs.

    Because Rand's endorsement in a KY state wide election would go a lot further than in a Presidential election. Duh.

    No one is saying that they aren't the best in the Senate.

    Yes they are sell outs on some issues and endorsements.

    The Huntsmans are not the worst people in the world. Far from it. Their political ideology is a little off, but they are good people.

    "Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."
