You’re grooving on Rand Paul today.
Consider his father. You know he grew up listening to that nutcase.

Everyone says what they think folks want to hear when seeking a job.

He may spout good points, but he was taught the trade by a froot-loop.

Just sayin’...

In the last Month the left has really started to attack Rand Paul, they are going to increase their attacks in the next 6-9 months, Rand Paul scares the HELL out of the left.

I’m going to have to study up on young Mr. Rand Paul.

How much of his father does he have in him? I just initially recoil at the thought of the the elder having some, any or too much sway with the younger.

Christina is DONE, TOAST...etc.

Paul Ryan / Rand Paul?

To cute with the names being so similar?

Go Ravens!!

whether I like the guy or not, anyone candidate that starts talking about god, rape or abortion is DOA. The SOP for the GOP should be...this election is not about that and I’m not going to be making it about that.

Actually wants to substantially shrink federal government and federal power. That’s all I need to know.

The idea that government should stay out of peoples lives appeals to me like it does to many other conservatives.....BUT he needs to be alot clearer on defense, his stand on the WOT and the issues important to social conservatives before I could support him.

He has to do some ‘splaining to prove he has fallen far from the tree of nuts known as his father..

Rand and Scott Walker seem to be the only two in the GOP who are willing to fight. I would vote for a Paul/Walker or Walker/Paul ticket in a heartbeat - and Walker brings executive experience.

How is Rand Paul not seen as being too libertarian by many conservatives? And, everybody who doesn’t accept Ron Paul, for a finite number of reasons, will, probably, not accept Rand Paul, either.

Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker...

Those are probably my three favorite conservatives at the moment.

I’m not adverse to Rubio or Paul Ryan, but I don’t want either at the head of the ticket. Ryan has voted for too much government expansion, while Rubio is pushing the amnesty legislation.

If Christie touches the ticket, either as the president or the VP, I’m not voting.

West/Cruz or Cruz/West

Good to see you posting about Rand Paul Jim.

Rand has that natural charisma and is a STAUNCH conservative.

He will never back down and is serious about limited government and cutting spending.

We must unite and choose one candidate to support, dont like the RINO’s split us and win with their establishment candidate like they have done with McCain and Romney.

That would be disaster.

I advocate for Rand Paul and would like Walker as his running mate as it may put WI in play.

Rand has the appeal to put states in play that others will not.

He has perfect delivery and the message is loud and clear: We’ve come to take our government back!

His libertarian message will resonate across America as he attempts to rebuild the Reagan coalition which included evangelicals, libertarians and common sense conservatives.

He’s the only one who can do it and who can defeat the left.

Rand Paul has some marinating to do. He is not yet ready for prime time, but will be if he can pull off some leadership skills.

I like libertarianism the more I research it.

I do think that there are plenty of Conservative libertarians who are personally conservative and small government. Who believe that things should be handled locally, who want to downsize the feds.

People call Ron Paul a nutcase. They do not have a coherent understanding of libertarianism, and scream about the points that they do not like. A clear understanding of libertarian thought allows one to be conservative within its framework.

Ron Paul is a Maybury libertarian. Rand Paul seems to be libertarian too, and I have to say it, We need someone who can speak to freedom. We lost last time because no one except Paul Ryan spoke aobut freedom, and he wasnt left off the hook much.

Libertarianism is all about freedom and responsibility. I recommend learning more about it to everyone. If little old me is thinking of it, there is something to it, then any one would be interested.
