Ron Paul Jr is exactly like the old man. Don’t be fooled.
There is one big difference though. The old Ron Paul told you exactly what he believed and never swayed from his principles. He was true libertarian and spoke and acted like one. He didn’t say thinks to confuse the issue. He railed against democrats and republicans alike. Ron Paul Jr.
has the same ideas as the old man but tries to spin it like he’s a real conservative, a GOP conservative. Case in point is he would never come right out and say we need to bring back all our forces from overseas and that all the meddling we do causes more problems. Now Ron Paul Jr, believes this but no way in hell he’s gonna say it. He knows he would be seen as a nutcase if he did. The old man had no qualms about saying it. In otherwords the old man, like him or not had a believes system, Ron Paul Jr. does not. Ted Cruz on the otherhand is true conservative, believes in America and articulates his position as well as Ronald Reagan did. He also does not try to fool people into believing he’s for something when he’s not. Cruz is the future of the party, Ron Paul Jr. is not.

NeoCONS control the democrats and NeoCONS contol the establishment GOP. Their goal is neverending wars. Obama is GW Bush’s half brother.

Cruz has left me on this one. We negotiate with Putin because he's right. We are in a war against Islamists and countries that support them. In Syria we have another attempt by the Islamists rebels to take over a secular country.

The American backlash against the strike shows that the base of both parties believe that Obama is on the wrong side. He is the enemy with in, and is being ignored.

Cruz and Christy are cuddling up to Obama. At this point Rand is my man.

So what you’re saying is that Obama is right to negotiate with Putin. You’re saying that Obama thinks Putin is right.

The Founding Fathers agreed that we had to get rid of the British Crown and that was about the sole issue they all unanimously saw eye to eye on. They fought like Tasmanian Devils over just about everything else.

I have no doubt that Rand Paul and Ted Cruz and everyone else in the Tea Party will be able work past any differences they have in foreign policy, and for that matter social issues and anything else, once they remind themselves that keeping basic American liberties alive trump everything else. And Obama clearly plays the same fundamental role the King of England once did here, this will never be lost on Paul or Cruz.

“Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.”

Why not? President Eisenhower deported a couple million and the rest stampeded into a retreat back across the Mexican border. This happened in the late 1950s.

This attitude that we must capitulate to illegal aliens invading our country infuriates me.

If someone climbs over my back fence, takes up residence in my tool she and later demands the right to stay, is it my fault for allowing it? Sure, a case can be made for that, but doesn’t change the situation — the invaders must leave.

That's my feeling as well.

Rand Paul is his father, just with better PR packaging.

Nice post, however, it lacks the facts where Rand Paul is concerned.

He wants to LEGALIZE 2 million Undocumented Democrats, each and every year, based on a “Certification” from a US Congress that is already half(Democrats) thinking that the border is secure right now.

That is what we call Amnesty no matter how often Rand Paul throws around the words “Secure” and “Border” in the same sentence or paragraph.

This is the same thing as McCain spouting this “Secure Border” nonsense, just another flavor of it.

At the end of the day, all of Rand Pauls pretty words notwithstanding, his policy STILL GRANTS AMNESTY to 2 million Illegal Aliens, each and every year, by making them legal.

He is lying to you.

I like them both and they represent critical elements in conservatism and the American electorate. I’d like to see them form an administration together.

The one thing that attracts me to Rand is his apparent willingness to eliminate departments. That’s something Reagan didn’t even touch, despite the two DOEs being brand new under Carter.

A POTUS who would kill those two departments can simply take their funding and give it to the states as per capita grants to spend on their own education and energy programs. Kill the departments at the federal level, collect the taxes that funded their budgets and pass it along to the states. The states are desperate for the money, make it no strings attached - education and energy, their choice how to spend it.

We need a return to federalism. Ideally, you’d kill the funding some time in the future.
