A voodoo doll would suggest that I have some personal hatred of Paul. I dislike much of his policy, but have no person feelings one way or the other for the man.

I did see one Ron Paul sign along Rt 30A. I'm not sure when it was put up but it was there from around 2007 or 2008 till 2012. It's the only RP sign that I've ever seen.
You must not get out much
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
I'm in Fulton, Montgomery, Schenectady, occasionally Albany counties, sometimes Schoharie, Warren and Hamilton counties, and put on 12,000 miles a year driving... That I can remember, I've only seen one Ron, and no Rand Paul signs, or buttons.

That's interesting because I spotted tons of them in Schenectady alone, this was during the campaign of course, he had more than Mitt Romney and less than Obama but that is to be expected in Schenectady. I spotted a RP bumper sticker stuck on a guard rail last week in Half Moon, no Rand signs yet, way to early.

Then why are major news organizations rewritting stories 2 years later about a retired irrelevant congressman and former presidential candidate?
You seem to have a real problem with dates. The story originated 2 years ago. NEW FACTS have emerged in the last few days. That is why so many news outlets have been reporting on it.
Note: For a board who is still posting about "Clinton's Cigar" and "Monica's Blue Dress", I doubt only a 2 year delay would be a problem!

NEW EVIDENCE box. How many times do I have to correct this bad habit of yours?
As for you 'note', are you saying Ron Paul is as relevant as Bill Clinton? Very good! You are starting to get it!
I would guess that Ron/Rand Paul is even MORE relevant to certain segments of our society. Take comedians for example. They've pretty much exhausted the Bill Clinton jokes and need some new material. Ron/Rand will give them a breath of fresh air and a trove of new comedic supplies.
Rand Paul haircut jokes are enough to add 2% to the GDP. Ron Paul's racist Newsletter would bring $millions in sales to the White Supremacist crowd. Ron has always been 'relevant' to Skinheads, Militia and Southern Separatists. There are Conspiracy Theory sites who find Ron/Rand to be VERY RELEVANT indeed. The duo seem to fit their particular specialty.

Rand Paul Doesn't Know What He's Talking About (In Charts)
Quoted Text
Yesterday, Bloomberg's Joshua Green interviewed Rand Paul, and when asked about the significant budget cuts he was proposing, the senator said this: "You know, the thing is, people want to say it’s extreme. But what I would say is extreme is a trillion-dollar deficit every year. I mean, that's an extremely bad situation. I would say it's a very reasonable proposition to say that we would only spend what comes in."
NOTE: Interesting how the Deficit dropped dramatically in the Clinton years, Rose dramatically in the GWB years, then Dropped again in the Obama years!
Probably just a coincidence!

If Randy Paul ever had a chance at contending for the '16 presidency, it's now over. A key endorsement left Rand hopelessly in last place.
The Kiss of Death Endorsement came from none other than Sarah Palin: " I’m on Team Rand Paul".
On Fox News’s Cashin’ In, Palin said she’s on “team Rand” because “Rand Paul understands. He gets the whole notion of don’t tread on me government.”
Quoted Text
The problem for Republicans with a Palin candidacy is that even though she is in good standing with the party base, voters overall don't like her at all. She has a 39/58 favorability rating, including 33/64 with key independent voters.
If you think Palin hurt John McCain, just wait till the Palin Endorsement hits home with voters. Sorry Rand.

"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Maybe Rand can get his dad to offer Palin another bribe to endorse someone else. It's Rand's only chance!

She blasted Christie which will hurt him more then her endorsement of Paul, like it or not many people still like her that is just the truth

TeaBaggers like Palin... Democrats, Independents and reasonable Republicans see Palin for what she is. A bimbo.
