So the opposite of what happened with Obamacare?

We just love to play nice while the left plays for keeps with their agenda.

He’s clearly not in touch with what’s going on.

Isn’t the country already 2/3 opposed to abortion? What is the Paulista waiting for? He’s going Todd Akin.

“Not changing any of the laws”?

So he’s against parental or spousal notification/consent, waiting periods, mandatory full disclosure including ultrasound, and sanitation that would be good enough for pets?

Sorry Rand, but if you were truly a Christian, this would not be the approach you would be taking.

Rand Paul is apparently just another “moderate” in the mold of Dole, McCain & Romney.

Are Repubs just abnormally stupid? Reagan won because he had the courage of his conservative convictions, and he advocated those convictions unashamedly. Modern Repubs aren’t bright enough to break that code.

And he’s another weasel politician without strong moral values.

"Isn’t the country already 2/3 opposed to abortion?"

No, that's the point. He's just expressing reality. In a country where the Supreme Court has already ruled that abortion is a right, and there is a majority in favor of that, no President is going to change it.

Libertarianism is a mental disorder.

(with apologies to Michael Savage for modifying his phrase.)

Really,Rand?

Then, how did we get gay marriage laws all of a sudden?

No he isn’t. Most of the country already is persuaded otherwise, and has been for a while. He is just already eaten up with Beltway disease.

CNN-Poll 58-percent-of-americans-oppose-abortion-in-all-or-most-circumstances

That's one of the most useless polls I've ever seen. The 58% includes 38% who say that abortion "should be legal in few circumstances" -- what the heck does that mean? Without clarifying the scope of "few," the poll is meaningless...

In other words, it’s just as easy to look at the poll results and say “78 percent say that abortion should be legal in all or some circumstances.” “Few” is the key to the poll, and “few” is about as vague as it gets.
