Not like Rand's dad is in the race or anything.  In any case, the Pauls are not representative of the rank and file Tea Partiers, who are just conservatives with a new name. The Pauls are like wormyguy and Tweed, perpetually dissatisfied with the status quo, no matter what.

I'm dissatisfied with this post.

Truth hurts sometimes.

How on Earth has the GOP ever been the Party of Values? I suppose we all value different things in life, but Newtie was their Speaker of the House. He didn't just fall out of the sky several months ago to run for President.

I guess you never heard of abolitionists?

The original GOP was a free soil party, not an abolitionist party. Real abolitionists wouldn't be caught dead in any major party. And no major party would want them.  But yes, the GOP was better a long long time ago when it was the more progressive party. But, alas, that was a very very long time ago. You got me on the "ever." Touché.
