For a person of my station, this is a humiliating result. I always did my best to stay a cut above the Middle American conservatives: did a fellowship at Harvard, went skiing in Aspen, made friends with a few of the richer Democrats, even donated a little money to reseed the golf club green. But, despite all this, the Daily Telegraph says that Michele Bachmann and me are ideological bedfellows. It seems this blue blood is a red neck after all.

I’d love to meet this asshole in a bar.

How pathetic.

70%+ Paul 40%, + Bachmann

Coming from the old country it is hard to say no to some level of government oversight on education and health.

It’s easy to say no when you see what happens in the modern public (American public) school. It’s especially easy after you’ve read The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America.

I don’t doubt it, Daniel. It’s just when the education factory is no longer paid for out of taxation then the case for oversight will be much lessened.
