    Tea Party Pick Causes Uproar on Civil Rights

    The case of Rand Paul brings up an interesting analysis. I think John Kyl said it well:

    “I hope he can separate the theoretical and the interesting and the hypothetical questions that college students debate until 2 a.m. from the actual votes we have to cast based on real legislation here,” said Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican.

    On one hand, I understand the Libertarian concept of government. I disagree with it and find it foolish, but I understand Paul's sticking by his beliefs. It's just tough to not see his positions as misguided and uninformed at best.

    • Perhaps "foolish" is a little harsh, but certainly misguided and wrong-headed.luckyorphan
    • define what is the libertarian setup your talking about and then say whats misguided. be interesting
