First, why would you appear on a television show with Van Jones? Second, I don't have a dog in this fight. I want neither Rick Santorum or Rand Paul as our nominee.

because the Republican Party is not a libertarian party, it is a conservative party...."It's neither....

Santorum is a light-weight. He could not even keep his Senate seat in his home state. He is a dingy sailing among the battleships.
Having said that, Santorum needs to review Reagan's 11th Commandment.

The Republican Party Is Not A Libertarian PartyI'll say! Hell, they're not even conservative, so libertarian would be quite a stretch.

It’s not a Conservative party, neither.

Totally agree about appearing with Van Jones. Conservatives have to start treating avowed commies like Nazi sympathizers. The crimes are even worse.
That being said, the Republican Party is not supposed to be a libertarian party... but it isn’t a conservative party right now either.

Maybe we should call it like it is...a party vying for power without a goal. They seem to be looking for voters instead of goals, except for their party but not for America.
That of course means that we have two parties fighting for power without any concern for the individual American. Isn’t that a hoot! Government at its best - Tax and spend and give for you vote!

Santorum was not loyal to the establishment or grassroots with his wage increase talk. He must have known what the headlines would say.
If we block amnesty for now, Bill Kristol and the Super PACs might attack Rand on immigration.
Santorum is as bad as Paul on immigration. Paul just has stupid ideas but is hated by the donors. The donors might decide to pull back on amnesty for a year or two and then use it to attack Rand either in 2016 or 2020 primary depending on the timing.

I thought Rick thought Republicans were Racists?
Is being a Racist better than being a Libertarian?
Can’t keep up with this loser.

YES!!!
I hate that term! The Republican party has NEVER been conservative!!! Conservatives, libertarian/conservatives, Reaganites, etc. are the RINO's. We are the Republicans' bitches.
I want liberty. Republicans want to summer in Kennebunkport.
To: Forgotten Amendments
You can’t mix the libertarians in with the conservatives and Reaganites, if you did, then you would be trying to label Rand Paul as a conservative, rather than the mushy, weak rino that he is.

Rick Santorum has always been establishment, from his Reagan mocking early politics, to his becoming anti-abortion when he decided to run for office in 1990, to his campaigning for ‘Specter for President’ to remove life from the GOP platform, to his lifelong devotion to Specter, to his Romney becoming a Romney supporter.
