Lt. Dan a progressive? Horse shit. And Jack Conway needs to man up and grow a pair. He needs to start calling legislators to ask for their support. And he needs to start working in the West End of Louisville. Unless he does those things – and starts showing the gay-hater who is boss – he’s done. Also, enough with the bullshit canned answers. Both need to be real men and speak honestly. [Senate Guru]

Gotta love the C-J spending cash to remove the Times from its sign. In related news the St. Louis Browns have announced that they are now to be referred to as the Baltimore Orioles. I also see that Muhammad Ali has endorsed Conway for Senate. Then he warned Howard Cosell to get away from his car or he’d whup his ass. Vote for Pedro.

What exactly did Rand say that was “insane”? And I mean what did He say, not what the author said. Despite the author trying to label him as a nut his responses seem pretty reasonable.
Such as when the guy tried to get him on the conspiracy NWO angle, Rand’s actual reply was,
““I think it’s less this secret conspiracy or this secret cabal of bankers than it is a philosophical debate,” he said. “There are people openly in favor of world government and there are those of us trying to preserve world sovereignty.”
What exactly is insane about that? Seems true to me.

Who is pushing for world government again? I honestly don’t see this as a genuine national issue at this juncture.

The idea that there is not a NAFTA Superhighway is ridiculous. It’ll run right through Western Kentucky. That’s what the new I-69 is supposed to be, a Canada-to-Mexico interstate linking the border at Texas to the border at Michigan.

I-69 is an ordinary interstate. One can come up with reasons why it isn’t necessary, but pretending that there’s a problem connecting Mexico to Canada through the U.S. is kind of silly. Why so averse to commerce?

Steve said, “I honestly don’t see this as a genuine national issue at this juncture.”
That was pretty much my point. The only reason the “interviewer” asked that was so they could write up a little diatribe and try to paint Rand as a conspiracy nut. Rand didn’t step into it and yet blogs such as this one and huffpost jump on the question and the author’s comments (not Rands) to paint him as “insane”. I see it as a sign that the leftists are concerned about Rand winning and well they should be. Trey will be a walkover in the general, Rand might not be.

Personally I wouldn’t vote for either Grayson or Paul. It really sucks to watch the conservative movement picking up steam again nationally but not having a candidate worth a crap in Kentucky.

-Sooo, it’s actually a left-wing plot (conspiracy?)to knock Rand out of the running. I see. How ingeniously diabolical!
That makes as much sense as the nonexistent federal plan for the uber-secret NAFTA superhighway, that only right-wingers know about. Nope. Nothing “insane” about that.
I love this website!

Just for shits and giggles…would someone please see to it that Trey, Jack, and Dan get the same ‘grassy knoll’ kind of horse shit questions.
What a shit for brains that reporter is…

-I don’t think they would have ‘grassy knoll’ kind of horse shit answers to those ‘grassy knoll’ kind of horse shit questions like Rand did! lol!!!

Read about the “NAFTA Superhighway”…
http://www.aaroads.com/high-priority/corr18.html
There are a few links on this page that may shed more light on the concept of I-69 as the “NAFTA Superhighway.” It’s not just a pipe dream in Paul’s mind.
And keep in mind that I’m NOT a Paul supporter.

Nothing in my post said or implied multiple people conspiring or planning together. Just independent people with similar biased motives. So who exactly is the one that sees conspiracies everwhere? lol. You don’t think interviewers or blogs bring their own biases into the mix?

[some of the fears of world government are legitimate.]
Don’t see the horseshit in that answer.
In light of all the government intervention and takeovers of once private industries…do you not think a little skepticism towards what the governments of the world are up to is warranted?
15 Sirico // Aug 25, 2009 at 3:34 pm
E,
-Amero?
-Ending the Federal Reserve?
-Trilateral Commission?
-The John Birch Society?
All silly beliefs/answers that he gave IMO.
Conservative, there is no “federal plan” for a “NAFTA” superhighway.
