Vice President Cheney has held about a dozen high-level government offices and business positions since college, whilst Senator Rand Paul is a freshman senator and ophthalmologist with followers he inherited from his father. I think I would bet on Dick in a "knife fight", if his health doesn't worsen. A blind man can see where the author comes down in this argument, of course.

Randy should just make it official and become a Democrat.

One small matter:

Mr. Cheney we need to do something about American jobs and American manufacturing. America needs jobs, and America needs to bring back manufacturing.

America runs a massive trade deficit at the moment.

Both the GOP and the Democrats, are sitting on the sideline on this issue.

Just saying.

Proof that moderates as well as liberals still take LSD.

They’re both pro-gay marriage, too, from what I can tell.

The Real 2016 Battle is Between Dick and Rand

Rand Paul was great - until recently. Now I'm beginning to wonder if he inherited insanity from his old man.

Important as foreign policy is, the country is in such a mess right now it hardly matters.

The first order of business would be to impeach and remove the criminal, Communist, Muslim dictator in the White House. Then we can start worrying about the mess he has made in Iraq and elsewhere around the world.

Meh. Bunch of lightweight irrelevants. I only care about relevant heavyweights.

This really is a crucial contest. It’s empire verses republic. What have Cheney’s wars gained us except a pile of dead Americans and even more people who hate us? We can’t re-engineer the world, as much as Cheney would like to, but we can thrive and prosper if we close our borders and re-focus on what made this country great.

Cheney is no conservative, he wants government to be as big as possible. Cheney is precisely what is wrong with the current batch of Republicans, and why real conservatives are frustrated.

Agreed.

I sit somewhere between the two, politically. I have been fans of both and have been pissed off by both.

Cheney is not my fave by any means, but your left wing diatribe does not reflect well on you.

You've gotta hand it to him, he's an indefatigable Johnny-One-Note who somehow manages to always make it to post #2, 3, or 4 on just about every thread, with the same "bring back jobs to America" post.

Obama has put America in global retreat, he has created a true international force in terrorism which now has the money and arms and territory of a nation as they drive us out of the Middle East, and Obama has rebooted the Cold War with Russia and China with both on the move to conquer and invade, while not only reducing our military, but at the same time making “equality” the dominate goal of it’s focus.

America is afraid of the death and destruction that will be coming from his policies, and Rand Paul promises to continue Obama’s weakness if he becomes president in 2016.

Paul is promising hell on earth and global conflict and terrorism in our malls and schools.

Why?
There's no functional difference between Republican and Democrat.
(Republicans have no desire to stop statism, and in fact do what they can to continue it.)
