Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Looks like liberty is popular in Kentucky

Just the latest?

The legislation passed that changes how and when the Fed Reserve reports it's actions to Congress incorporates several parts of RP's proposed legislation--and RP proposed his version first, and was the catalyst for the subsequent legislation.


Casey

because many people disagree with his foreign policy positions.....don't make it sound like some secret conspiracy.

And Casey, if you took a poll of registered voters in America, Ron Paul's name wouldn't even be recognized by 3/4 of them. The Teaparty movement may include a lot of Paulies, but it isn't a creation of RP.

In fact, it looks like the Teapartiers back in his district are less than thrilled with ol' Ron.....but it's nothing his $2 million + war chest can't steamroll.

Ron Paul enjoys an unheard of 84% approval rating among his own constituents.

Yeah, sure...like last time,huh??

Oh, I agree, but that's a good thing. That means there are more than just us RP folks out there who support small government--and that hints at a broader base than you're hinting at....



But the two above paragraphs seem to contradict one another--especially because RP isn't getting the backing of the corporate crowd or wasn't born to or married into wealth as, say, a John McCain.

RP's campaign fund comes in primarily in small contributions from, you know, The Great Unwashed Masses, and comes from a broad base, and yes, even outside of his district.

Like I've been saying, it ain't the personality here, it's the ideas.

And it sure seems the philosophy of small government and big freedoms espoused by RP has stubbornly stuck around since the 2008 campaign, and has even gained at least a modicum of legs recently--hasn't it?

I find it quite encouraging.



Casey

Well, not really. Like I said, his asss is in a seat that could be being warmed by a dammed commie. That's good enough for me. In fact, with the rate our legislators are [bleep] us over, a little gridlock with nothing getting done looks pretty good right now.

Speaking of last time--how's your bullet fund?

Has it recovered from the fall and winter college seasons--'cause it's liable to take another hit this fall....




Casey

Turn out in my precinct in Jefferson County was only running about 20%, sad to say, at least for the Republicans. Dunno what it was for Democrats, who are a lot more prevalent in this precinct.

It's pretty stinking sad that people won't get out and vote.

Apparently, even more people disagree with Grayson and the GOP's foreign policy.




Gonna be tough on you Haliburton lawyers.

funny...he's gotten 60% in the 2006 primary, 70% in 2008, and 80% this year against three unheard of teapartiers.....plus of course all the people who voted in the democrat primary obviously didn't support him. I don't see any election where he's gotten 86%, but I guess they took that poll at one of his picnics.

certainly he's way more popular there than he was nationwide with his 5% of the GOP primary vote. could be those earmarks, I guess. Ol' Ron's got the seniority to keep them pesos flowing. All the while proclaiming how much he opposes them.....on principle of course.

But let's not spoil Rand's big day, if that's what it turns out to be. Because, see, unlike the fever swampers of the fringe, one thing what you guys call establishment republicans do is actually support republicans when they're running against democrats.

Casey, you will be shocked to learn that Ron Paul did not invent the idea that a smaller government is to be preferred to a large one. Nor is he the most articulate spokesman for that view.


And unfortunately along with that message, he brings foreign policy positions opposed by most on the right, and associates who damage the ability to sell the small government message.

Once again, transferring money/man power from government programs you dislike to government programs you do like does not equal smaller government.

And therein lies the rub--turn it into a partisan thing, and lose sight of the small government philosophy.

Of course the Country Clubbers are going to support the Country Clubbers--don't want The Great Unwashed Masses spoiling the party and all.........

And go ahead and defend them--it worked really for you in 06 and 08.....

BTW, with your recent confidence and all, how's your bullet fund holding up?....



Casey

Yeah, but he actually means it, and proves as much with his voting record. Not the case with your establishment Republican heroes.

Of course he didn't invent it! That other guy you often diss invented it--you know, the guy who wrote the Declaration Of Independence....the guy who's VP plugged that corporate Treasury Secretary.....




Translation: RP doesn't support empire building.........and boy, does that pizz off the One World Economy/One World Order folks........

It's like this; we cannot be the world's policeman and support everything else here at home. The semi-socialist European countries can pull off their big government because they have very small defense budgets--thanks to the USA and our military substituting/subsidizing Europe's defense (along with many other parts of the world).



Casey

===============

Really? What political bets would you like to make this Fall,Casey??

Oh goody, goody, goody......


First, I think I'll get you lathered up a bit further.....





Casey

I'll support Paul 100% and wish him godspeed. jorge

58% Paul-37% Grayson, at this point.

63000 to 38000 so far. Less than a 30% turn out to vote.

Solid tea-party themed victory.
