Last night, Rand Paul threw down a gauntlet.
Then Establishment GOP is *not* happy.

Pop the corn, let the fun begin.

    I loved the story entitled "Dumb and Dumber!" These two are why we have lost the past 2 presidential elections.

    I'm afraid I have ties to both "gentlemen." In 2008, I inadvertently marched in the Spartanburg Christmas Parade with McCain. He went on to win South Carolina, which turned his campaign around. I'm not claiming my help got him the nomination, in fact, I was a Guilani supporter at that time. Graham is for better or worse one of my senators. South Carolinians have a love-hate relationship with him. He can be absolutely dynamite on some issues, such as Benghazi, and then be totally on the wrong side of others, nee Rand Paul. He will probably get re-elected, but I expect a serious primary challenge if a strong candidate emerges to oppose him.

    The sound gets me pumped. I think of the lyrics as venting. Someone else gets it. Kind of a battle cry. sounds like you have a battle.

    I am working on one for you too. I feel you need a new go-to upbeat selection. I will get back to you when I search my library further.
    O.A.

    Anybody else want some?

    Folks: We should all greatly respect Rand Paul for peeing into the gale force wind of resistance that is the pragmatic US Senate. Regrettably, his gallant efforts will fail. Presidential elections are now determined by major population centers in about eight states with large electoral college votes. It will be this way from now on. These populations are intellectually challenged leftists who's votes are further assured by massive welfare state entitlements. Tea Partiers, Libertarians, and Republican Conservatives are not going to change this demographic in spite of their commendable and passionate efforts. We are dinosaurs on the cusp of extinction unless something extraordinary happens, and that my friends had been, essentially, outlawed by our increasingly statist federal and state governments.

    seriously, I'd roll away from bullets too-especially all the time one would have with the musket fire and line formation deal
