Unlike many of my fellow conservatives, I haven’t been sold on Rand Paul as the desireable future of the Republican party. He leans a little too Libertarian for my taste, and I don’t always like the way he approaches issues. Still, it’s hard to look at his thirteen-hour-long, bladder-busting filibuster on the Senate floor last…
Ever since last November’s election, we’ve heard many talking heads in the mainstream media insist that the big problem with the Republican party is that it just isn’t enough like the Democratic party.
