Re: Worse President
You said it perfectly and one fo the problems is those grass roots people can't see the forest for the trees the way the its been hijacked from them, its almost like a cult where what the leader says goes. Its really amazing to talk to them, many are friends and they just can't see what they have been lead to. The movement was good, many that were sent to congress were good, but as so often happens, the greed by those at the top takes over. And yes Hannity and Reid both have used it to their advantage, Hannity is raking in huge dollars because of it. I read his contract with Fox is $20 million a year.

Re: Worse President
What you want to discuss without accusations of bias and prejudice...unheard of...though I will say that I don't care if I am told I am being biased, because you are damn right I am being biased, just as EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS BOARD IS BIASED. Bias is exactly how we form our political views, we have biases and we used those biases to form our political views. To me bias is way, way, way, different than prejudice. I am not prejudiced, I like all people, even far right conservatives...
Libertarianism isn't loony at all, I just am not sure that there is a true libertarian out there, it seems to me that a lot of the Tea Party/Libertarians, profess to be for small government, but really just want to "shift" government to fit their needs. They want to remove the government from say the doctors office, but then want to insert it into everyone's bedrooms. So I guess I don't particularly agree with such tactics. Plus Libertarianism isn't any loonier than I am because I am fairly Libertarian myself, but I am also fairly liberal also, but have some conservative views to, so to me the Tea Party just seems to extreme on a national scale, and is way, way scary for me personally on a local scale.
Now that said I will need a little more time to get to know certain candidates, with say Rand Paul I don't like his views on some social issues, and I think he is to much of an isolationist, while I am not a fan of the bury the head in the sand and pretend things don't exist way of foreign policy that Obama has adopted, I also don't agree with ignore the fact that the US exists in a global society and sometimes that means the US, as a superpower is going to have to get their hands dirty. As far as Rubio goes, he is probably the one I am least familiar with, but I will say that on a quick view I am probably against some of his social views, but can't comment much past that.Its FOOTBALL time in the Bluegrass...and some basketball talk!!!!

Re: Worse President
Rand Paul drives the traditional GOP people nuts with his stance on some issues, like U.S. military involvement in places where we aren't wanted.

Re: Worse President
Gotta like them 'good 'ol boys' in Martin County, FL. Of course, that could be anywhere in most of Florida's 67 counties. And you'd still see that in parts of those left-wing, limp wristed liberal bastions like Miami-Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach counties too.
MOLON LABE!
