I first learned about Senator Ted Cruz on Facebook. A lady I with whom I was connected, from the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, volunteered on Ted’s Texas Senate race. Not long thereafter, the Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed Ted’s Senate Race as well as Senator Rand Paul and, the champion of the Constitution, Congressman Ron Paul. In May, 2012, Ron and …
Ron Paul Comes to San Diego – UPDATE
W.C. Varones and Left Coast Rebel attended the Ron Paul event held yesterday at UCSD. W.C. has a great post on the event. Left Coast Rebel is promising one. From W.C. Varones’ blog: He hit on all the topics you’d expect – the war on drugs, the debt and deficit, central planning, the TSA, big government destroying the economy, the …
Defense Spending – Republicans Don’t Get It
Budget “cuts” for the Department of Defense proposed by Obama are fairly responsible as far as I can tell. But Republicans are already criticizing the administration’s proposals.

We have to rely on the acerbic wit of Jon Stewart to highlight media attempts to spin the Iowa straw poll outcome sans Ron Paul.
