Folks,...when politicians start posing for photo ops like this, they have no shame whatsoever. Vote for him if you want to,..but this dude is creepy. "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."![[Linked Image]](http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h225/FalMike/notreal_zpse2k5xdl7.jpg) I've never sent money to a politician in my life. I did last week when I saw a thread for Mr. Cruz. Probably not much to him, but 100 is a bunch to me. I can't imagine money better spent, whether he gets the nomination or not. He'll make some "moderate" republicans look like [bleep] during the debates.

mog75,
I did the same thing and plan to do it again next month. $31 mill is not a lot but it is enough to encourage him to carry on. It was sure enough to shake up the left.

We all know that you believe that there is only one God (Ron Paul), he has a son, and all others are sinners.

"We're damn lucky in this country in that our politicians are only willing to be bought so far and - for the most part - no further. There's a limit to greed and corruption in the US that is barely existent in other countries and in some, not at all."
That "limit" is expanded in proportion to how close the politician is to you. The blatant "pay to play" going on at the County and City level makes Statehouses and D.C. appear as bastions of righteousness.
My Congressman is the Father of Bristoe's "mystery man". He took Charles Stenholm's old seat after the R's gerrymandered the District.

There is nothing corrupt about buying influence that will help the entire country. Finding anyone with the good of the ENTIRE COUNTRY as a reason to run is nowhere to be found.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

And finding anyone with the ability to buy influence for the good of the entire country, especially the common man, is even more so nowhere to be found.

So what are you guys doing about it? (Except making sure somebody like Jeb Bush gets the Republican nomination.)

So what are you guys doing about it? (Except making sure somebody like Jeb Bush gets the Republican nomination.) Two factions constitute the GOP today. The libertarian faction and the "more war" faction. The "more war" faction has the big money boys in its pocket (*cough* Israel *cough*) Rand Paul, for all of his warts, is the only representative of the libertarian faction running for the GOP nomination. Ted Cruz is vying for the "more war" money, but he's trying to expand his base by pandering to the libertarian faction. Rand Paul is aligned with the libertarian faction but he's trying to keep the "more war" people off his back by giving lip service to them every now and then. If it wasn't for "more war" Ted Cruz getting in the way, we might have a candidate who represents genuine conservatism for the GOP in the 2016 general election,....and he might even win. But Ted and his oversized ego don't givva chit about any of that. Ted will serve only to split the opposition to the "more war" faction and allow "more war, big government" Jeb Bush to get the nomination. The "more war" faction Republican will then lose to the Democrat candidate. The Democrat candidate will also be a "more war" candidate,...but Democrat voters are as dumb as those who think that Ted Cruz is a conservative,.. ,..so it'll be business as usual. Live for today.

I get it. You mean those people who are WAY more conservative than the Tea Party people are. I told you, and I'll say it again. I think Rand would make a great president. I would be happy to vote for him if given the chance. He needs to do two things. Get rid of the nutjobs that think his father is God and start turning rainbows into money.

Yes. The blueblood RINO's will fight, because they know who butters their bread, but they will follow. State voters are much harder to trick and State elections are much harder to defraud than National.

Ain't nobody who wants to represent the interests of you and me will ever get elected. Very, very damn few of them will ever bother to run because they know the score. In fact,...I don't know why Rand Paul is running. He's seen the situation and understands it more than 99.9% of the country. I think maybe he just wants to make it apparent as possible in the hope that somebody, somewhere in America finally gets a clue. I also suspect that that's why his father ran for President.
