I see it as a good thing. Principle should be more important than loyalty. If Rainmondo thought that one of the Pauls was doing something antithetical to his principles, then he should call them out. Blindly following leaders and excusing their faults is what go us into the current situation.

No, but we were wondering how you knew about the internals of Russia.

Well, Ben needs to run the data past some professional PhD level statisticians to make sure that the conclusions are correct and not some idle theorizing. It is one thing to speculate on an Internet board, quite another to put your journalism reputation on the line by jumping to conclusions...

More than just W. If the country wasn't full of morons, someone like Paul wouldn't be needed, because the country would have elected good leaders for the last century.

I wish they would use "Sovietized" instead of "socialized" as a spin word. It has way more punch to it.

I just wish people would be more civilized. You aren't going to get people on your side by shouting over people that have the floor. There is a reason why parlimentary procedure was invented. If everyone that doesn't get their way just shouts at everyone, you get anarchy.

Well, Google trends have almost no correlation with polls. The number of primary voters willing to spend the time to do actual Internet research on candidates is vanishingly small. 95% of the voters will vote for whomever has the most face time on the TV, or whoever looks the best or "feels...

Can you imagine if he were able to be in the presidential debates? As much as I love Ron, there is no doubt that Harry was a much better articulator. His vast knowledge of history and economics allowed him to wipe the floor with his opponents. Harry would have had those other candidates...

I miss Harry Browne.

Of course. They want someone that will be sure to lose to Obammy. The last person they want is Paul because he could erode the anti-war civil liberties type Dems.

Well, I'm not sure we want the media to be our ally. We just need them to be fair and balanced.

That's just great. Dillute our only win with a conference that Ron will lose that he has won the last 3 or 4 times.

After seeing how the typical GOP voter votes, I assumed we were already in a zombie apocalypse. I hope you are already prepped.

I don't like the lackadaisical comment. They have some truth in that Ron has been preaching to the choir, but not town halls. I hope if he wins Maine he will start doing more town hall meetings, converting non-supporters.

Yep, which is why we will get second. Our supporters are good at stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.
