> [@YogSosoth](#): > > Liberals? > > Hate to break it to you chump but his libertarian ideas are about as anti-Republican as they are anti-Democrat. When’s the last time a Republican legislature or executive actually did something about the deficit other than increasing it? When’s the last time they decreased the size of government? And that’s why the OP is delusional if he thinks that Rand Paul is going to accomplish anything at all during his term. ---

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#): > > Rand will not let you down. I really can’t believe that not one person has taken the obvious opportunity for “Unlike his supporters, who won’t let you up.” I’ve been waiting. You disappoint me, people. It’s not like this thread has any dignity to maintain, just go for it! ---

I’m a little rusty on the Lincoln-Douglas style, but I think it usually begins “Resolved,” not “Suck It.” That’s more of a BBQ Pit thing. Moved from the 2010 Elections forum. ---
