Uh no. That was Nixon.
Fine with me, the more time folks have to see the crazy the better.
Hey the Paulistas Version 2 still see no issue with the guy. so get ready for another “He van win” fiasco a’la Romney.
Rand continues to reveal himself gradually and I think fewer and fewer will like what they see. And his statement concerning an emphasis on voter fraud is actually pretty non-sensical.
If there have been any Republican office holders emphasizing voter fraud to any significant extent, then I missed it. Some commentators mention it, but the move to require voter ID in many states hasn’t included too much discussion of voter fraud.
It’s the Dims like Obama and Holder fighting voter ID and any control on who votes that have been squealing and claiming there is no voter fraud, and that any check on who votes is the ever present (according to the Dims) “voter suppression”.
I don't agree with your assessment of Ron Paul. He is flawed, for sure, but it was his arrogant talk-down-to-us supporters that made it impossible to support Ron Paul. They knew everything.
I'm seeing Rand Paul more as someone who is all over the place, kind of an ADHD mind. Rand hasn't been against war-mongering, so I'd be surprised if he's imrpessing his dad's supporters. He came out on the side of the Bundy's eventually, but he didn't have the natural instincts to do so during the fast-moving events.
I thought there was hope for Rand Paul. But now it seems that he's got DC disease and he's more interested in forming a coalition than he is in developing his core values.
Rand Paul is not our saviour.
I think Republicans are prohibited from filing suits that allege voter fraud.
What an idoit!
Very true. Ron Paul may have had a chance, but his maniacal supporters drove everybody off. It was like Howard Dean and his orange-caps.

Maaaaannnnnnnnnn!!! I gotta stop doing drugs before dinner...

Ever notice how a lot of the criticism of republicans comes from republicans?
It’s as if they lay awake at night thinking “How can I help the democrats again?”
But democrats almost never criticize fellow democrats.
They remain focused on taking out the opposition, not each other.
Don’t forget the voting by provision. You show up at a voting precint and aren’t listed so you get a ‘provisional’ ballot that is ‘supposedly’ checked later.
I watched a group of folks do this at TWO voting places one night and I’m sure they went to more. I was just watching those two (I followed them to the second one).
If it’s a liberal site, quoting a conservative, you can bet it’s out of context to give a false impression of what he meant.
They want to use Paul’s comments to lead us to believe he is against investigating voter fraud.
I've heard there is some sort of agreemnt from past years, but I don't think it prohibits Republicans from discussing voter fraud and presenting the evidence to the public (if such an agreement exists). If any Repubican politician is even dicussing voter fraud very often, then I couldn't name him or her.
It's been folks like John Fund and other journalists who occasionally pop up with a vote fraud story that are about the only ones making the case to the public. Of course, many belive fraud exists including those who work to get voter ID laws passed. It's just not discussed openly very often.
Back peddling and trying to look all so ‘rational’ (read that as acceptable to the GOPelite)
Here’s the reason — Democrats thinking are mostly HOMOGENEOUS.
You hardly find one person straying from their ideology.
Abortion, higher taxes, more government control... they ALMOST ALL think alike.
so, what is there to criticize?
Republicans are really more DIVERSE in thought when it comes to the issues.
Not all are pro-life, not all are for smaller government, not all are for lower or simplified taxes, etc.
Therefore, because of the diversity of thought on issues, it goes without saying that one Republican can and will criticize the other’s policies.
