Not quite sure why I feel the need to make this comment, but here it is... I am very glad you have the freedom to write your opinion. Opinion is foundational to our system of governing. You call me a gullible sheep from Indiana. I will add this fact, you do not know me. I do not approve of the actions of Mr Souder either..so how is your comment needed to spread your" news"? Be careful of what you say about others, because their opinion is different from yours.... The people that need to belittle in any manner, to promote their own agenda are often guilty of the very thing they dislike in others..

Dear Rand Paul - I think you should campaign in Kentucky on fixing what's wrong with the Civil Rights Act, repealing the Americans with Disabilities Act, abolishing the Department of Education, ending the subsidies to tobacco farmers, putting a $3,000 deductible on Medicare, outlawing abortion even in cases of rape or incest, and what the heck, abolishing Social Security and all other such forms of government intrusion.

Oh . . . you've already thought of that?

You are?

Okay, never mind.

Really stunning victory last night! Motivated GOP turned out 353,000 voters, while Democrats only turned out . . . uh . . . 520,000.

But, never mind. Had the election been last night, you would have finished a strong third behind only Conway and Mongiardo, the top two Democratic candidates.

Anyway - BIG WIN FOR THE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE! All the way, Rand. Don't forget them winning issues (although you maybe should drop the anti tobacco subsidy thing.

I think that should become the new republican moniker. At least Souder had the sense to resign. Ensign just sent his schill, Coburn, over to the cuckolded husband and tried to bribe him. Vitter just said he was sorry Anyone found out he visits prostitutes. Now we know the Republican campaign committee entices big donors by taking them to sex shows. So much for abstinence. They sound about as hypocritical as the Catholic church.

I have to feel sorry for the families of both parties. Souder and his mistress should have known they would be found out sooner or later...

Have you seen any of those videos Souder did with that woman?

If so, then you know she's far from comely.
