It was pretty much a political move aimed to gather support from the GOP's base.

Well I must be wearing orthopedic shoes because I stand corrected.

Still not much better, though. You could justify just about anything with that logic. "While I'm not a necrophiliac, I don't think it's right for a society to forbid corpse-****ing."

Fair enough. Although, I'll admit that I like Mr. Paul as a person (just not a politician).

Definitely... residents of Alaska can't stand her (which is hilarious).

The Paul family (Rand and Ron) seem to be good people. They just have atrocious politics.

The only way I see her getting to the White House now is if she ran for Vice President with Michele Bachmann.

I'm going to stop and just let the image of a Bachmann-Palin ticket sink in....

There are many reasons to be grateful for the prodigious amount of sexist conservatives in the USA. One reason is that it will be a cold day in hell when a woman wins the GOP primary. Sarah Palin, even at the height of her popularity, would never have won the primaries.

That's not accurate. His opposition the Civil Rights Act of '64 isn't just because he dislikes government interfering with business; he takes the Libertarian argument that the Federal Government is barred from making such laws due to the 10th Amendment.

So, it's more like: "While I'm not a necrophiliac, I don't think it's right for the Federal Government to forbid corpse-****ing. The constitution explicitly states regulating such behavior is the providence of States and/or other local Governments."

I'm sure Republican Party has many intelligent women politicians. It's just that Bachmann and Palin aren't apart of them.

I think you summed it up better than I did. Thank you.

....still, not much better. I'm liking the amount of corpse-****ing I've injected into this healthy political discussion though. Let's keep rolling with that metaphor.

Good point but I believe they will get votes from middle aged conservative males that think they are hot. I am convinced that's how some conservative men were cool with her in the first place.

As far as I know, the Tea Party Movement began as a grass-root libertarian movement but was hi-jacked by neo-conservative christians who spoiled the party (pun intended). That said, I definitely support the original intent.

Oh, and by the way: small government != weak government.

Reducing government size is ok. As for state rights, the concept of states themselves I think is pointless. I honestly wish the country would just have one national government with unofficial states to split the lines. It's not going to happen, but our government is massive, bloated, and flawed by ridiculous tradition.

Problem is, I trust the government much more than I trust big business. Frankly, because the government has a motive to keep itself together, where as big businesses only motives are to buy more buy more. The government is supposed to protect us from these, not sell itself out entirely to them like it has.

Pure fascism doesn't work. Capitalism is flat flawed. When you let a company hire whoever they want the biases(primarily nepotism) are going to be overwhelming, and soon you'll find a realistic situation like in America where the only strength you have is knowing how to appease stronger people, or being flat born into it.
