It isn't a laundry list; it is well-reasoned and totally sensible. You won't get it all, and you may have to tolerate a couple of things that aren't ideal. But you will not be dealing with the ignorance of the popular vote as was seen in the last two presidential elections. The people who will be voting are relatively interested and aware of the issues. At any rate, we'll see how you feel a year or two from now. forbes.com

Talk about the devil-lol. Another poster found this:

"Flailing at the Clintons and insisting women won the war on women, he’s what happens when stupid goes unchallenged"


Meet the Press, and David Gregory in particular is a waste. Here we go: Dim and divisive Rand Paul self-destructs, again salon.com

> particularly the repeal of the 17th amendment. The 17th Amendment was a stupid idea to begin with. Anyone who carefully considers the argument for and against will support repeal unless they believe it gets in the way of his/her political ideology. It is readily apparent, if one looks at the absolute political train wreck that is the United States Senate, that the 17th was the wrong direction to have taken. The people who wrote the Constitution understood the issue well. As Madison explained, the United States Senate was never intended to represent the People. It was to represent the States. The 17th Amendment was a misguided amendment, just as was Prohibition (and, I would argue, the 16th, but I'm certain you'd never be convinced of THAT!)
