Throughout history, ideas need patrons.

A legislative entrepreneur...doesn't just believe the right things. He's out there trying to make a good idea legislatively viable.

Let us be clear about one thing: The tea party movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party, but a hostile takeover of it.

One in a while, you discover a presidential candidate who has the potential to change the political conversation, to elevate key issues in voters' minds, and disrupt and transform a tired Republican brand. Once in a lifetime, maybe, you will have an opportunity to support a transformative candidate who can do all of these things, and win.

Sometimes you have to beat the Republicans before you beat the Democrats.

Social awkwardness is not a sin, in defense of liberty.
