I would reject Erick Erickson's endorsement

He has called Ron Paul "crazy" and has been more than an opponent of Ron Paul: he's been a venomous, hateful attack dog.

Now, I don't expect Rand Paul to do anything about this (at least not in the primary). I understand that politics sometimes involves allowing people you don't like to join your bandwagon (though there are limits, of course). And if Rand wants to win (and I want him to win), he may have to swallow hard and just IGNORE Erickson. But I'd LOVE to see him publicly denounce this clown once the primary or general election are over.

Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical, minority views...Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. - SCotUS, 1995

When I meet a Neo-Communist

I let them have it.

I tell them how they support Irving Kristol's Marxist belief system known as Neo-Conservatism and they are fake conservative and basically traitors to The Constitution.

I know it sounds harsh but I am sick of these useful idiots and their unknowing treason.

So far every single one of them has gone away sulking. Is it the best strategy? I don't know, but I have had it with Big Government War mongering fake conservatives.

Keep it up

Nice to see the Neo-cons

Nice to see the Neo-cons finally coming around. They know they have to change, or they can just stay dead to us.

See? Good things happen when you cozy up to neocons

Rand could give a lesson (in politics) to his old man.

RedState's Owner...

Has liked Rand Paul for months; because he's not an establishment stooge like Grayson.

Redstate

Redstate is owned by the RNC.

If Only RedState

Would promote tomorrow's Rand Paul money bomb, that'd be something else.

Guys...that was me...Chieftain1776

I don't mind it being front page because the stuff about Grayson should probably get out eventually. Just realize I'm already an RP supporter. If you check out the comments in the original Erickson post, although some are negative a decent amount are relatively welcoming:

Great sources Chief!!!

That was worth a thousand times more than the post and the post was excellent as well.

Go to open secrets and type in Griffin in KY.

Griffin Industries - One of the largest privately held companies in america and it was started a generation and a half ago when two brothers started picking up road kill and dead horses off farms.

You see all those donations to Trey?

That same amount is going to go to Rand if the polls widen next quarter.

WAHOR!!

How do you avoid being banned on that website. I think I've had two accounts, and I never lasted more than say 5 posts.

They're like that Democratic Underground website where you get "Tombstoned" almost immediately when they suspect you.

bump

good news.
