First, welcome to FR. We probably agree on more than 90% of issues. I make it a habit of reading comments in context.
Living in the south, I can't understand why blacks aren't supporting conservatives. They vote in a block, brainwashed by community activists against their own core beliefs. The churches I go to are integrated evangelical melting pots and I'd have it no other way. Neither would our Lord Jesus.
But, your comments on Rand Paul are either without merit or out of context within conservative dogma. I have a post here with his plank that is as "conservative" as anyone in either house:
Can Rand Paul Solve The GOP's Minority Voter Problem? #25
So rather than state that Paul "makes me sick to my stomach", how about you back it up with at least one reason or fact if you can...? I'll be the next in line to criticize each position you show he supports that is wrong for America.

“.......Paul has stunned many conservatives with two policy statements of late that go to the very core of the conservative movement. If he persists, he may well lose the support of millions as he contemplates a presidential run in 2016.
Not only did Sen. Paul state that he supports a special path to citizenship for illegal aliens, which has enraged those who have worked for a sane border security and immigration policy that adheres to U.S. law, but he has also made a major concession on the firearms background check issue”
