I would agree...
I get the bad feeling Rand Paul is going to go full blown Rubio on some issue or another before 2016. I don’t see that happening to Ted Cruz.
What Joe said.
Reflects my views precisely. IF they leave this pretty much to the states I have no problem. Let the dykes and faggots gravitate to California and Massachussetts and other such locales and leave the other states less infected. Win. Win.
If California wants to let people marry their cocker spaniels, more power to them. Maybe when enough homosexuals and animal lovers have migrated there, it will fall into the ocean from the weight of them.
We can always hope, anyway.

America is not going to have a situation where some families are ghettoized into half the states, and their marriage and family not recognized in others, or when they enlist, or work for the federal government.
People with strong religious convictions have known this for a very long time.
Libertarians are just liberals who don’t want to pay.
Actually they are, but not when it creates gay marriage for all of America or frankly, anywhere in America.
America was founded by people dedicated against such a thing, and they would never have tolerated it, or created the legal argument for it to become the law of the land.
The Federal government should spend their time doing what they are Constitutionally mandated to do and leave the rest to the States. Instead, they don't secure the border and talk about "amnesty", for example, and when the states step in to fill the gap, the Feds shut that down, too.
I didn't read anything in my copy of the US Constitution saying the Government could place its blessing on a twisted parody of the Sacrament of Marriage.
It would sure cut down on the necessary number of cataclysms...
Bachmann, Cruz and West are the only three I trust. Pretty much.
That's part of it. I would say they are conservative on economic issues, liberal on social issues and isolationist on foreign policy. A key point is they are rules-based and fairly inflexible. Hard coded suckers. Cobol.
What about Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions?
RE: isolationist on foreign policy.
Has anybody asked Rand or Ron Paul whether they would have invaded the Taliban controlled Afghanistan after we knew that they were giving sanctuary to Osama Bin Ladin?
Also, what would they have done after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?
I could get on board with Palin in 2015, but not Rand Paul..
yeah. I Like Mike lee and my senator Jerry Moran. Just was picking my top three. Sessions is not bad on immigration, but I have heard people are upset with some of his other stances. Again I have not studied it enough. But I do like Sessions from what I have been hearing.
“Has anybody asked Rand or Ron Paul whether they would have invaded the Taliban controlled Afghanistan after we knew that they were giving sanctuary to Osama Bin Ladin?”
Even if he said no, I doubt that would work against him politically. Most people recognize that Afghanistan’s always going to be a smoldering craphole. Pouring money into bombing and rebuilding it isn’t going to change it.
We might have killed Bin Ladin sooner had we not gone into Afghanistan. Or we might never have gotten him. Or maybe he was in Pakistan all along.
But I don’t think Afghanistan is any better, or worse, after all we’ve done there.
Government or controlling legal authority has always been involved in marriage, it has to be. As far as licenses, I wonder why no one thought of that during the days of Jefferson and Washington?
Jefferson was even involved in divorce law.
I predict an onslaught to sue churches out of existence because they refuse to hold gay marriage ceremonies. That is the true intent of the law.
“..He seems to shift a lot to suit the audience.”
Yes, he does.
Also, Rand Paul received a 33% rating from Planned Parenthood:
“KY U.S. Senate Jr Rand Paul Republican 33”

All my heroes receive ZERO percent from Planned Parenthood.
Rand Paul is okay on some issues, but not the conservative social issues. He is like his father. But my issue often is with libertarianism, as I once felt I was one. But I began to see that other than small government, they were very much like socialists on most other issues. I distanced myself from them. Our Constitution was written with heavy influence from the Bible. You cannot read a divulgence into sin and corruption into the founders’ intentions. It’s not there. They intended it for a Christian people who held to their belief in God as creator, however much they may fall into sin. We have taken God out of everything, and cannot even mention His name unless profaning it. The Pauls try to find a middle ground by saying they believe in traditional marriage...and I’m sure they do. However, one must fight the good fight, not change your own principles to get along with others. What they are effectively saying is that our next generations are NOT worth fighting for, let them work it out themselves...I don’t want to get my own hands dirty. Those who try to be the peacemakers in social issues really might as well join the other side, as they are no good to the rest of us. Ted Cruz, on the other hand is a solid conservative and stands solidly with people of faith in fighting for faith issues. These ARE important. I agree with Mark Levin and Ted Cruz, Sarah Palin, and the many of us who ARE concerned for the immoral, corrupt way our country is going. As Billy Graham stated decades ago, God must judge America or He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. We are abandoning our western allies for the Muslim Brotherhood, and Obama states that we’ll be Muslim by 2016. Please, dear God, remove this whole administration in some way BEFORE that happens! PLEASE!
