Good strategy: insult half the people whom you need to support you, if you want to be President.
Paul is toast.
He’s a strong limited government supporter and as a constitutionalist, I know there aren’t very many.
A Republican trying to be all things to all people. We tried that far too many times Rand. Haven’t you been been paying attention to all of those moderates we’ve nominated who tried that same strategy only to go down in flames? Rand the RINO is gonna have a short shelf life in the GOP primaries.
Then why the hell did he support Mitch McConnell who is as far away from being a limited government Republican as you can find.
He uses a lot of the vague libertarian phrases which translate as ‘move left’.
His immigration statement said nothing, and his abortion position sounds pro-choice.
Look at the last paragraph, and you know what his differences are with Cruz, Paul is too liberal.
You've fallen for his glib talk, which when looked at closely, has little substance and a lot of loopholes.
And his rabid supporters turn off everyone else; in spades.
Neocons were never his supporters. Neocons are big government socialist who believe in welfare for military corporations
ACU says that Paul has a Senate voting record that is north of 98% conservative. He is not like McCain or Romney. Paul is my 3rd favorite candidate. I do not like him as much as I like Cruz or Walker, but I think he beats Jeb, Lindsey Graham, etc. He may say some goofy stuff but he votes correctly which is pretty much the opposite of my Senator Cornyn who says the right things and often votes for goofy stuff.
How many joints did he smoke before he gave this answer:
On the religious freedom laws in Indiana and Arkansas:
“I think our founders would be aghast that anyone would think that...to do something, to perform a ceremony or be part of a ceremony that’s against your religious beliefs. That being said, though, I think the law ought to be neutral. I don’t think we ought to treat people unfairly, and I’m all for treating people with respect and tolerance...I don’t think you can have coercion in a free society very well. They seem to be antagonistic. So I would think we ought to try freedom in most of these things. And then also, people ought to understand that people’s opinions change through persuasion. And if I really want to convince you to come to my political way of beliefs or my religious beliefs...if i go to Africa, I don’t evangelize by forcing you to accept my religion. I’ve got to convince you to. So if people want to convince people that other forms of marriage are fine, they need to do it through persuasion.”

They aren't "socialists" at all and you are parroting lefty cant.
Paul wants to reduce the number of our GIs, just like Obama.
No, I’ve looked at his record.
Political alliances are strange. Sarah palin supported McCain.
If you love wee barry, you'd love this nutter more, whilst the rest of us look for someplace else to live.
What a bizarre example, Governor Palin was McCain’s choice for vice president and shared the 2010 republican ticket with him.
If Palin had not endorsed him it would have destroyed her and the tea party’s great victory in the 2010 election, as the republican party had historic success.
Rand Paul on the other hand is just more and more rino/libertarian like. It is revealing that a Paul supporter would go after Governor Palin, remember that one reason Paul is in the Senate, is Sarah Palin endorsing him in 2010.
“Rand Paul to steer clear of Mississippi runoff”
“Rand Paul: It’s a ‘misnomer’ to say McConnell isn’t conservative”
“Rand Paul To Campaign for Romney”
March, 2013—”Rand Paul endorses Mitch McConnell in 2014 Senate race, won’t back tea party challenge”
They shared the 2008 ticket of course.
Who did he insult?
The more this guy opens his mouth, the less I trust him. I cannot say why I feel that way, I just do.
