Why Rand Paul Is Winning

Pajamas Media ^ | 03/09/2014 | Roger Simon

[Red Badger]

The poll, which is not a scientific sample by any stretch of the imagination, was dominated by the 18-25 year old age group, which represented 46% of the polling sample.

The same demographic that gave us you-know-who....................

[McGruff]

Apparently pot heads have taken over CPAC

[Red Badger]

Winning the CPAC straw poll is like winning and Oscar. The next day it means nothing.................

[for-q-clinton]

I think Scott Walker has the best chance and the proven record not to cave to political pressure. That man took a beating by the press and unions but he kept to his guns. And most importantly he has proven he can get a conservative agenda passed in a democrat leaning state.

Put him at the top of the ticket and the rats will be going nuts—watch the lunatics come out and that will drive more to our party. Because Scott Walker has not been successfully painted as a hate monger, racist, idiot, unelectable or any of those things the left tries to do to us, but my oh my have they tried.

please. with all the media hoopla, this race is hillary’s to lose. and we best not forget it or WE will be the losers again

[Arm_Bears]

Big whoop!

Rand Paul wins the RINO-PAC straw poll.

Color me surprised.

[Dead Corpse]

Open borders?

Is that why he threatened to filibuster the Gang of 8 Shamnesty bill if they didn’t include a “build the fence and verify the border is closed FIRST” amendment?

Doesn’t sound very “open borders” to me.

Come on Travis.

All of our choices this time around have warts, but let’s not adhere to fake ones drummed up by the GOPe machine.

[Dead Corpse]

Yes, he is. At least, the votes in the Senate he’s cast are certainly and solidly Right.

[Beagle8U]

Runt Paul is a moron Liberaltarian.

If he came out against pot legalization and queer marriage his support would drop to zero.

Any of the young mush heads that would vote for him, would vote for Karl Marx if offered a big sack of dope to smoke with their queer boyfriend!

His thinking would gain zero votes for the GOP.

[SoConPubbie]

You certainly won’t be able to objectively ascertain if Rand Paul is winning by a CPAC poll. They are notoriously and regularly spammed by Ron/Rand Paul PaulBots.

Each and every year CPAC is held, it’s the same old trick, try and pretend one of the Pauls is the front-runner by giving Ron/Rand Paul supporting college students tickets to CPAC and stack the deck.

They do this with online polls as well.

Given this behavior, I’d say that Ted Cruz was probably comfortably out in front.

[SoConPubbie]

Is that why he threatened to filibuster the Gang of 8 Shamnesty bill if they didn’t include a “build the fence and verify the border is closed FIRST” amendment?

So, which Rand Paul are we to believe?

The one you are presenting to us, or the one who has an Amenesty plan (A.K.A. Comprehensive Immigration Reform plan) that will grant Amnesty to 2 million Illegal Alien Criminals each and every year?

Here are the links, from last year, where Rand Paul clearly lays out his own Amnesty plan for 2 million illegals per year, based on a "Certification" from a Pro-Amnesty congress that the border is "secure". No Fence, No E-Verify, No punishments for ID Fraud, and all the other misdemeanors and felonies committed by the Undocumented Democrats he wants to pardon.

Dear Mr. Roger Simon:

Rand Paul won the CPAC straw poll for the same reason he did last year, and the same reason his dear old dad won so many times. That is because Ron Paul/Rand Paul groupies buy up a whole bunch of tickets to CPAC.

P.S. Why are you, a Democrat, concerned with the Republican Party business?

[Beagle8U]

“build the fence and verify the border is closed FIRST” amendment?”

And Owebama would ‘verify’ the border sealed the day the bill was signed.

RE: If he came out against pot legalization and queer marriage his support would drop to zero.

He already has a public stance on gay marriage.

See here:

http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/Rand_Paul.htm

Rand Paul on gay marriage — No national law on same-sex marriage; leave it to states. (May 2013)

He also made a public pronouncement on drug use.

http://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/Rand_Paul_Drugs.htm

Drug abuse isn’t a pressing issue; 10-20 years is too harsh.

[Mr. Jeeves]

He is too scary for me. especially on forign policy.

Want to try Hillary's instead?

But it doesn't matter - the banksters control the battleground states and one of their stooges will get the job in 2016. Jeb, if they think Hillary is too sick to rely on.

[Travis McGee]

Yes, he’s an open border libertarian who will work with the ‘Rats, meaning, the ‘Rats will roll him and we’ll have ten million new ‘Rat welfare voters in no time at all.

I heard him on Laura Ingraham dodging and weaving around her questions. He’s as bad on amnesty as Boehner, just more cagey about hiding it.

[Travis McGee]

I agree 100%.

[Travis McGee]

I agree with that too.

[Dead Corpse]

An “amenesty” is just giving them citizenship. Like Reagan did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Reform_and_Control_Act_of_1986

Rand’s plan isn’t even as much of an “Amnesty” as Bush’s plan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Immigration_Reform_Act_of_2007

Closing the border, making them “go to the back of the line” under current regulations, and cutting off all benefits isn’t an “amnesty”. No matter how much you want it to be.

[Dead Corpse]

He’s not as bad as Reagan, Bush, McCain, or Willard. He’s also a lot better than Christie, Perry, and Rubio.

Maybe not as good as Palin, Nugent, West, or Cruz. Who, IMO, are perfectly acceptable as candidates as well.
