...and I really loved Clint as a Redskin.

For the record i don't care about Didier's political belief's, per se. Just interesting that most people that either hate or like Sarah Palin could care less about who Clint Didier is.

Good for him. Better than having the President endorse him, he seems to be the kiss of death.

VA Governor = L
NJ Governor = L
MA Senate (Brown) = L
PA Senate (Spector) = L

Chicago Olympics...

Damn you, Buster. i was hoping my homie Firstdown was going to reply first! Oh well...

Yeah, Obama's endorsements are fail big time. I think he needs to chill for a while. Hell, maybe he should endorse a Tea Party candidate!

I could make a case about Coakley and Spector, but I really don't feel like going there. That is until Firstdown weighs in!!

Sorry I was in Myrtle Beach playing golf and drinking too much and I'm just looking at a PC for the first time sense last Tuesday. My mind is too fried right now to even care.

Poor bastard is going to get crushed...hopefully Dino will cut the crap and enter the race...then again who wants to be a 3 time loser?

Yeah after Rand Paul's latetest blunder, I have a feeling that the Tea Party and it's candidates will start to finally come under more scrutiny. But again, that's not what this thread is about

What was Paul's blunder?

I was about to say that with his win the other night, that's a sure sign that the national parties no longer get to dicate to the voters who the candidates will be -- and that's a good thing.

From the Rachel Maddow show:

Maddow: Do you think that a private business has a right to say that 'We don't serve black people?'

Paul: I'm not in favor of any discrimination of any form. I would never belong to any club that excluded anybody for race. We still do have private clubs in America that can discriminate based on race. Butdo discriminate.
But I think what's important in this debate is not getting into any specific "gotcha" on this, but asking the question 'What about freedom of speech?' Should we limit speech from people we find abhorrent. Should we limit racists from speaking. I don't want to be associated with those people, but I also don't want to limit their speech in any way in the sense that we tolerate boorish and uncivilized behavior because that's one of the things that freedom requires is that
we allow people to be boorish and uncivilized, but that doesn't mean we approve of it...

Oh good christ. They're after him because of what he said about legislation passed over 40 years ago when he was a year old?

It looks as though he has problems with the idea of government forcing private businesses to accept customers they don't want to accept -- much like the reasons Barry Goldwater was against the law. Not because he was a racist or that he hated blacks. Mainly that it was not an area where the federal government has any constitutional jurisdiction.

From a strictly libertarian point of view -- can anyone articulate what the difference is between being forced to allow a customer into your private business and being forced to allow someone into your home?

At what point does the question of freedom of association come into this?

I'm going to pretend I did not read that.....Big Brother not welcome...must be a racist?

The law was passed in part b/c black people could not find any hotels or motels that would allow them to stay in Florida and the southern states as they traveled down I-95. A florida state case was the case that was brought up to the SC. The SC used the "interstate commerce clause" to stretch the Federal arm into state's rights to regulate their own businesses and laws.

IIRC If florida or any other state wants to allow their hotels and motels to discriminate based upon race, the can but will not recieve any of the federal to state funding for their raodways, etc.

Paul's blunder was blindly walking into a trap. He should've never been on Maddow. She's been throwing race-bombs at the Tea Party for some time. She's Chris Matthews on steriods....with the same haircut. Nothing good could come from him being on that show. He should've foreseen that coming, and not allowed himself to be cornered like he was.

I don't know the man, but I'd bet a good sum of money he's not a racist. He was trying to stay true to his stance of very limited gov't at the expense of what is practically right (no reasonable person believes businesses should be allowed to discriminate against people based on the color of their skin). There are some cases where Fed intervention is needed, the Civil Rights Act was one of them.

Paul better get used to these type of attacks and playing on the big stage with big boy gloves or he won't make it to DC.
