We'll be too goddamn impoverished from our three $1 an hour jobs to be on or have time for the grid.

anti war and pro civil rights. If other places don't have such Democrats they should find some.

It's a low turnout base, to begin with, and the ones that do vote are more informed than the idiots I knew when I was their age.

I'm fairly certain the beat up, rusty 4 door Chrysler with the 'Vote Ron Paul' and 'Legalize It' bumper stickers that billowed smoke when the four occupants crawled out, contained zero threat to the Democratic party. Daddy is way cooler with the kids than Randy.

There's enough info on (Ayn)Rand Paul out there to make any twenty-something cringe.

LOVE IT!

He's a fake.

Corporate Democrats are obsessed with Libertarians and Libertarian-leaning Republicans only because they expose those Democrats' betrayal of voters on the issues they should own. The only reason any Libertarians get attention at all is because they say some of the right things re: reining in warmongering, curbing the drug wars, and stopping the outrageous surveillance state. People do NOT like their willingness to scrap social programs and gut Social Security.

All Democrats would have to do is re-embrace the policies they were *supposed* to stand for all along. Stop the outrageous corporate war on marijuana and marijuana users. Stop pandering to the corporate One Percent with private prisons and draconian drug policies and a fascistic surveillance state. Be the party that not only ends the spying and the warmongering and the outrageous drug wars for profit, but also reins in Wall Street, restores our Constitution, reduces inequality, and STRENGTHENS social safety nets.

Those who whine about Libertarians while excusing the corporate sellout of our own party are part of the problem. Third Way Democrats would not have to worry about Libertarians at all if they would crawl out of their corporate Masters' pockets for long enough to own the issues they SHOULD own.

.... you've nailed it.

Good lord if I didn't want to defect before, that would seriously have me running for Canada ASAP. He'd take workers' rights back to the stone ages.

Recently had the opportunity to spend a few days with a group of 20 something technical professionals. I was amazed at how many were libertarians who support Rand. Not a liberal in the bunch.

The common thread was disgust with what they view as a broken system that has given them the NSA, constant war, bickering as a sport, and more than one comment wondering what happened to the promise of a transparent administration.

If they turn out, they will be a force to contend with.

Kilgore.

He told me one day about Rand Paul and why he liked his ideas, or some of them.

I was shocked, I then reminded him what a nightmare the guy is.

If my Hunter S. Thompson worshiping son said this, I worry.

I worry that if Hunter was alive he would find some things he liked about Rand and it is that thinking that worries me..

For a speech last march.
Check it out on YouTube,

In fact, there isn't a real one elected to a national office.

He's socially conservative, and that among other things, will stand out if he runs.

The young ones won't like his stance on social issues.

all he's doing is taking oxygen out of the air in the room, nothing more. His old man was just like him.

20 somethings are definitely ignorant about a number of issues, but I visit this Reddit page daily, and based on the up votes they are a lot more supportive of liberals and Democrats than they are of Rand Paul.. even they many do support his libertarian positions.
