We badly need a president who can talk for 13 hours without having to go to the bathroom. If you can just keep a president talking he doesn't have time to sign new bills.

what we need is a leader-not something prezb.o. knows anything about

Weep for the state of whatever we call leadership, if Hillary is its avatar.

What difference does it make which overhyped lawyer runs.

McCain was right, Rand sounded like an idiot when he thought we would blast a group to get one guy when we can just walk up and arrest that guy instead.

Give me Reagan and the old time rock and roll, the new guys are out of tune with reality.

Agree.

I think Rand Paul and libertarian ideas are going to take hold as time goes on. We'll see just how much or how little it changes the republican party.

More debt with more flash.

rpmGator · 03-17-2013, 11:05 AM

Anyone could make a buck under Reagan, now its all for one %, none for the rest. Yet the debt is blamed on those that didn't profit from a tax cut in a time of war and increased spending.

I've been about the 78th% and I just got me a real good job.

Scott Walker thinks the GOP accepting gay marriage is inevitable:

Quote:

GREGORY: Are younger conservatives more apt to see marriage equality as something that is, you know, what they believe, that is basic rather than as a disqualifying issue?
WALKER: I think there’s no doubt about that. But I think that’s all the more reason, when I talk about things, I talk about the economic and fiscal crises in our state and in our country, that’s what people want to resonate about. They don’t want to get focused on those issues.

Meanwhile, from a recent study:

Quote:

Indeed, all major non-evangelical religious groups are ready to legalize marriage
for same-sex couples:
o White non-evangelical Protestants: 54% support/43% oppose
o White Catholics: 53% support/43% oppose
o Hispanic Catholics: 54% support/35% oppose
o African-American non-evangelical: 65% support/31% oppose
o Jewish: 78% support/21% oppose

Apparently, the only religious group to oppose it is white, evangelicals. The only demographic group is white, non-college graduates.
In other words, the opposition is pretty well defined.

You are clueless. Most politicians in Washington and local governments work for lobbyists and their rich sponsors. Only a few like Elizabeth Warren have clean hands.

GatorAvatar · 03-17-2013, 12:57 PM

This nut Rand Paul hates disabled people. His father wrote racist articles.

You have it all wrong. He isn't advocating racism despite your attempt to put words in his mouth. Rather, he is advocating property rights. In this day and age if you prohibit a certain race from your establishment you have an increased likelihood of going out of business. The market will decide - and most will not frequent such a place.

Give it a rest. People can think for themselves. Just because you repeat it over and over, doesn't mean anyone is going to be convinced. If you want to make a point about why you think what he's doing is racist, and how it involves racism - that could be up for debate, but at least try to make a coherent point about why you think we should find it racist.
