This guy probably wont even get elected in the congressional election, but if he does, he won't remain in congress for long. He's too extreme for his district.

Dave Brat already won. And several Universities push Marxism ideas, so why not Ayn Rand?

Balance makes some uncomfortable.

I have always tried to "starve the beast".

This is just one district in hundreds.
Why all the fear, this guy is going to change the world.
Ron Paul couldn't change it.... Wait a minute?

Marx and Rand both have terrible ideas. The difference is that Democratic Party doesn't take Marx seriously, but the Republican Party does take Rand seriously.

I guess the press will vilify him for pushing free market ideas, gee, what a concept, getting the federal government out of business practices and having it do what it's suppose to do.

Sounds great, can't get more wingnut than a Rand fanatic.

Just ask him what to do with the disabled, poor, and orphans and watch him twitch. No government programs, taxes are evil, and even giving to the poor privately is considered immoral in Objectivism.

Yep, time for a democratic party....let the bashing begin.

Who would have thought that free market, equal rights, equal opportunities, fiscal responsibility, following the law would be a bad thing.

Obviously democrats and liberals think it's a bad thing.

Force versus choice.

I know! Compromise!

Forced choice!

Compromise is always so much better!

Course, the inverse backlash of forced choice is choiced force.

It all balances out to what we have today.

Better than Utopia.

It's like the day after never, or, the day after always!

Fricken genius!
