He eloquently talked about his admiration for the book on the campaign trail. I was already disgusted with him for some other votes. Ex: voted FOR Sarbanes Oxley, a regulatory behemoth that has all but killed venture capital in this country. 2. Voted FOR the America Invents Act which allows the Treasury to continue siphoning fees from the Patent and Trademark Office(the ONLY govt agency that pays for itself), and changed the the intent of the Constitution over protections of inventors now to "first to file". who do you think will win that game? a small inventor or a big company? If you look at all his votes and how his budget plan did nothing drastic at ALL, you'd see he is a career politician, and LO! BEHOLD! he went from mowing lawns to the state house. He has worked in govt his entire adult life.

I also call it a morality of convenience. When they purport to follow a particular ethos, when it suits the situation. It's really revolting.

Exactly! It was said he was a fan of AR, but in what way? How did he back that up?

I usually go to new posts first, and they will then show if its been posted in the lounge or elsewhere. Hunting and pecking are part of it, too..

it's like they created this image of what they wanted and once done, can't seem to make themselves jive that with his voting record. hmmm, who does that remind us of?-hey, my comment above needs editing, but I'm not changing it significantly

I do too. but how are you finding "new" comments in the Lounge without hunting and pecking?

I actually check out the "New" posts, and what's happening in the "Lounge". Seriously!

Yes, he's sitting pretty for the time being, and most constituents don't bother to look up what their reps are really up to.

it is threatening to them-the media
very few who have been on the HIll very long don't care about the power. Ron and Rand Paul are exceptions. Here, Paul's views on just about everything are spot on conservative, except Big military. and he draws in conservative youth across the country. could we please put big military on the table. Please?? no, we have to have Romney, ho hum extraordinaire because Paul isn't electable? conservatives scream the loudest over military and drugs and marginalize the rest of what Paul would actually try to accomplish.. talk show hosts talked about him with contempt almost and praise Paul Ryan like he was some God brought down to save us. He carried a copy of AS in one hand and voted for the cliff tax hikes with his other hand. I say it's not only the left- it all of us on the right who did not demand better

Okay...I'm hittin' it. You can have the last word, if you must. lol
ta

And shoot the bed bugs if they bite your toes

It's up for grabs :-)

Yeah....I'm headed that way too. Sleep tight :)

Because we're out numbered by left wing thugs and bullies. And they can get away with it. (Oh..sorry, that wasn't my question to answer.)

My aunt always thought I would become one... This way, only my husband, (and kids) make fun of me, not everyone on the planet.... I think

And now I must sleep! It's almost 1:00 am here in CT, and I'm getting up in 4 hours. Ugh

Ok, why is it so difficult to find someone in politics who is willing to stand up to the ignorant looters, to not back off when it's said they are a proponent of Objectivism, and respect what Ayn Rand says on the subject? The media machine immediately buries any person or comment made in reference to them, or the persons character is called into question..

you are an excellent actress..

I've rather enjoyed them! (No yo haven't) what? Did someone say cookies? Shut up! Damn voices....

seriously, why are there so many comments on this post. somebody better throw in an Objectivist conundrum. I'm soft balling someone here-

you'll have to expand on that, Sybill. Ha! I've given you three personalities tonight! lol

Ya, a sweet tooth, too. Only joking. My curiosity is usually piqued by how a comment jibes with a topic. Some seem VERY, lets say unusual. Then I read the article, and am enlightened. :-)

so now we know your secret in here, Gretel

See where the most commentary stems from, and follow the thread. :-) or hoof prints

Nice. And this is exactly the way to tell people stuff around here. :)
