OK, I expect to see some sensational intra-party fighting here. But keep it clean. You godless Ayn Randians and bible thumpers need to learn what a "big tent" means. Let's see if you can do it.

If Jerry Falwell and John Galt had sex you'd get Rand Paul. Ewww, maybe separate tents is a better idea. I think we need a 3rd party based on libertarianism or one on born againers, you guys make ugly children together.

How did communism take over the Democrat Party?

How did the Democratic party lift up the country's economic prospects after the preceding Republican presidents sent the economy into a recession? That's some fucking magic, right?
