Here's the thing - what the more hard core non-interventionists aren't understanding here is that Rand Paul is aiming to give them a seat at the table, rather than the way we've been doing things, where we get completely ignored and they give a blanket authorization. Politics is a game, and...

Cruz is just smart and understands his audience and how to navigate them. It's easy for armchair libertarians who couldn't get elected to criticize someone who has gotten themselves planted on center stage and has constituents to manage.

the delegate "thing" was always the only hope we ever had of winning this. I'm not sure why so many people are so confused about this. We don't have the numbers to win states. We just dont.

I believe it. There were a lot of Romney supporters in my precinct. There were 16 Paul supporters identified in my precinct who volunteered to become delegates, but only 4 of those 16 showed up. Luckily a wild Paul supporter appeared and managed to get an alternate spot. We would have...

Oh, I forgot to note some shenanigans... As anyone who has participated in a caucus knows, it's chaos. Someone turned in our form before any of the Paul delages were listed on it. I had to go through the party leaders to retrieve our form and get the names listed. It took some wrangling, but...

Frankly, I'm disgusted. The canvassers identified 16 people in our precinct who would nominate themselves as delegates or alternates. If they would have shown up, we would have dominated the caucus. As it was, there were 5 of us who were there for the delegate election. We were dominated by...

They are not as organized as you seem to believe.

Enough Paul supporters would vote Romney/Paul make a meaningful difference in the national election in this scenario. And enough independents would too. Obama would get mopped with regards to the economic argument. And Paul would have the largest platform to push liberty than Liberty has had...

The balance comes from US, not from Paul. Romney is a political creature. He's exactly what Milton Friedman was talking about when he said the key to elections isn't electing the right people, but making politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right things. WE are the muscle...

I would vote for a Romney/Paul or even Romney/Rand ticket. The whole point is that at some time Ron has to hand this thing off to US, and we're better off inside the party walls rather than outside of it. Is it perfect? Hardly. But it sure as hell beats a Santorum/Gingrich ticket of any...

There are only two - maybe three worth considering, IMO - Judge Napalitano - He's the future of the Ron Paul movement at the executive level. Everyone thinks that Ran Paul is eventually going to run for president, and maybe he eventually will, however he is more valuable to the movement as a...

That's not how businesses work.

I'd ask him this: Mr. Cooper - I've been a Ron Paul supporter for two cycles now, and it's become clear to me in the last decade that the party establishment and the media establishment work together at some level to develop a narrative - with everything that exists outside that narrative being...

The solution is to force phone companies to give you more control of your line. Why don't I have an interface through the Internet that allows me to block certain phone numbers from calling me? Why can't I give it a list of "accepted numbers?" The solution is between the consumer and tthe...
