Doesn't sound like a person who would actually vote for him.

Your posts have been seriously making me listen to Sublime albums all day.

Of course. Who else do you intend to support? Someone who will commit political suicide for you?

My take is that freedom is not popular. The benefits of freedom are popular and the costs of tyranny are unpopular, but because all of the negatives in our current society are being blamed on "free market capitalism" and "greed", the wrong solutions are being arrived at. People get a whiff of...

Yeah I was thinking about the weakness of the constitutional argument in general when considering the general ignorance of the document among the American people. I think that in this day in age, when the constitution has been irrelevant to the government's growth plan for so long, we need to...

Have you visited Bucknell yet? I did and was extremely turned off by the university. As for loans, they can definitely be a good thing depending on the situation. The return can be far greater than the investment if you go to the right school and pick the right major. The university career...

I've been talking about this with everybody at my university without talking about Paul. Things like media companies lobbying for SOPA and the pathetically dumbed-down media political process along with constantly improving alternative options on Internet/mobile are making it easy to get some...

Wait. I thought Paul's position was that they weren't close to having one?

This is an awful, out of context, anti-intellectual bath. I wish there had been a disclaimer

Apparently the Democratic Convention Watch kept track in 2008 and is again this year of the superdelegates, of which there are apparently 132 which are not bound by the decision of the primary/caucus. If these figures are correct, does it somehow imply that Paul actually got the most delegates...

Mitt Romney is very good at saying what is popular while remaining properly composed and civil. That is his entire strategy, and it applies to interactions regarding other candidates in the media. At least he is intelligent enough to remember to say what's opportune (unlike Newt), so I suppose...

PBS is saying Paul is in second behind by about 50 votes. I don't know how accurate they are as a station (got someone watching in the other room), but does anybody have an actual update on the vote? Why can't we keep the negative commentary in a separate thread so we can see the results, win or...

Yeah he wasn't being all that respectful himself. The perception he created is that we are a minor annoyance to the party with a no-chance candidate that will fall in line if given token recognition and respect from the party. I don't think he could be more wrong. This movement needs to remain...

Intrade is a solid indicator of what is going on but it not always accurate or rational. There are frequently chances for small amounts of arbitrage between markets. Not arbitrage, but last night you could have made money by predicting Paul and Romney would be in the top 2. By buying one and...

The movement should be one thing to all people. Freedom to people who worship and have traditional marriages, freedom for people who peacefully participate in orgies. Separation of church and state is good for both. People who want the government to enforce morality are not on the side of...
