Not direct quotes, but pretty close.

Government doesn’t create jobs. Individuals do. Why do we have to balance our budget and Congress doesn’t? We believe in ourselves and not that some benevolent leader in a distant capital will take care of us. Do we believe in the individual or do we believe in the state?

The above was from Rand Paul. I like his dad so much that I admit to giving Rand a lot of room to make mistakes, and his speech above is more like what I want to hear. Maybe…MAYBE…he suckered the Tea Party curb stompers into getting him elected and now he’ll be a 100% libertarian. it’s about time libertarians played that game.

Marco Rubio’s (below) was kinda creepy because the delivery was Obama-esque in the messiah voice.

This win is not an embrace of the Republican party. It is a second chance for Republicans to be what they said they were going to be not so long ago. The US is simply the single greatest nation in all of human history. A place without equal in the history of all of mankind.

Now, time for Congress to get back to business as usual. Where’s the damn checkbook?!

If you haven’t seen the picture of Lamar Alexander’s office, you must, it’s totally insane: http://www.slate.com/id/2272482/slideshow/2272553/entry/2272541/fs/0//

I very much liked Reason’s coverage of both rallies. Just so I could see a taste of what went on. Because I sure was not going to spend either day at either one of them.

I thought it was interesting in showing how people, left or right, tend to over react and not pay attention.

The mayor also provided a tentative explanation for why police told people in the club to put their cell phones away. It was a measure to ensure the situation didn’t escalate, DeStefano said.

Well sure. If the kids had started videoing then the cops would have had to start the bogus “Wiretapping” arrests, then the protests would start… then the police would have to start beating people and arresting for “Resisting arrest”. You know, SOP for police. It’s part of the “Aggravate, Escalate, Arrest” protocol of the “New Professionalism”

Actually, I think the libertarian crowd here does catch on.

I think the partisans who read this site watch the Reason.tv videos from the Stewart rally and the Beck rally and see either (a) how biased Reason’s coverage was, or (b) confirmation of why they’re a conservative/progressive.

Who is going to question such an order? The cops know/are the law, right?
Force first, public relations spin later, after mission accomplished.

Never again, Joe. Principled non-voter for life.

That was funny Mike, but then Shapiro goes on to suggest hiring a forensic dentist regarding bite marks on the doll. Shame on Shapiro for stooping so low as to use junk science to potentially frame a dog. ;-)

I would think the libertarian crowd here would catch on.

I had a nightmare last night, but it was just that I couldn’t get my relatives out of my house. It was very distressing!

Re-elect nobody!

I saw that video and thought it was very funny. However, your quoting of proteinwisdom seemed a little oblique and did not make sense until you follow the link, which not everyone does. In fact when I first read this comment thread I had no idea what you were talking about, even though I had already seen the video in question on another blog.

P.S. Don’t vote!
