I don't think I've seen that picture. I will have to watch for it.

This statement is really problematic considering that Paul has openly positioned himself as a Libertarian/Tea Party candidate. His views are purposely against the traditional GOP planks. You have to remember that people like Paul are using the Republican label because they can't get elected as independent/third party candidates.

Am I the only one who hated the ending to LOST? *if you respond, please don't spoil*

Re: OT turkwriter May 24 2010, 03:57:03 UTC

I actually found it very satisfying.

Re: OT fishphile May 24 2010, 03:59:24 UTC

So I really am the only one? Everyone else loved it.

Don't worry. You're definitely not the only one. One of my friends messaged me to tell me he didn't really like it.

I fixed it, thanks for letting me know! It should take you to the Washington Times now.

"I can't condemn a person's view"

Umm, actually you can, Michael Steele. It isn't even that hard to do. "I condemn Rand Paul's statement and view of a portion of the Civil Rights Act. I, however, will take his word when he says he is not interested in repealing the Act. I hope he will not let these views hinder his ability to help Kentuckians in all walks of life." See how easy that was?
