Rand endorses Col. Rob Maness for Senator from Louisiana

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

Have you ever heard him speak? He's very Louisiana!!

Yes, I have. He doesn't sound like someone from Louisiana. He sounds like a lifelong Army brat. And he isn't familiar with Louisiana issues.

Doubt it. Just another one co-opting the word.

Matalin is in fact a registered Libertarian, as I posted. You were very wrong to doubt this fact.

Well, you judged incorrectly. He was born in Louisiana and lived in the state most of his life. He sounds exactly like most cajuns I know.

It's meaningless. She's only doing that to thumb her nose at Trump. It's not necessary of course, but I guess she thinks it is. As a bonus, it adds more discredit to the word "libertarian." I don't even identify with that word anymore.

Yes, she announced her party registration change a few months ago. She and Carville have lived in New Orleans for the past five years or so.

Wow. I was not aware of that. And she endorsed Austin Peterson.

“Today, the same unavoidable conflict between two inherently disparate views of governance remains; the same conflict evidenced in the struggle for ratification of the Constitution and highlighted in the campaign of 1800, which resulted in a two party system. Our country's remarkable founding was never about a Party or a Person, but the glorious ideal of freedom applied to unruly human nature.
In these tumultuous times of domestic and global uncertainty, the country would be well served with Austin Petersen on the national ballot along with the two established party candidates.
The times call for and Americans deserve a full-throated, clear, coherent call for the restoration of those principles our Founders divined and their progeny refined. Austin Petersen is a courageous adherent of and best represents Jefferson’s inviolate first principle: Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”

I don't know how sincere to is but I have to give her two thumbs up for her actions.

You're just wrong.

Maybe you're thinking of another candidate. Boustany? Hebert?

Maness was born on a military base in the Pacific Northwest. He was raised on foreign military bases and in Tennessee.

During his 35-year military career, he spent maybe two years stationed in Shreveport. He spent most of it as a Pentagon bureaucrat. He moved to Louisiana about five years ago when he retired from the Pentagon.

I'm sorry! I lost track of the discussion....I thought we were talking about James Carville for some reason. *embarrassed* I have no idea where Maness is from and do not care. You're probably right about him.
