1. So I should start drinking now?

[Renew Deal]

2. CPAC is irrelevant

Their winners always lose.

8. Their straw poll sounds like

a kiss of death or a jinx.

[Renew Deal]

10. That's one way to look at it

But I think it has more to do with them being overly libertarian. That's why the Paul's always win.

3. Every single one of them scares me to death.

None of them are sane and rational.

None of them respect science in making public policy.

All of them have homophobic and mysoginistic attitudes toward gay or simply female fellow Americans.

Not one of them understands anything nor has experience regarding foreign policy.

All five of them are Sarah Palin on steroids.

6. Someone's heart is going pitter patter with excitement over this

Someone over in Russia who is a big Rand Paul fan. And his friend in Brazil, too. They must be so hopeful at the moment for their country. (Oops, former country.)

[Fred Sanders]

7. Straw is for feeding cattle and lining pig stalls, so what is this all about?

11. Cathy McMorris Rogers....

.. reminiscing about her childhood.

Good one!

A county that is part of her district in E. Washington gets $3.16 for every dollar they send to the state capital in taxes.

Fucking welfare queen!
