Wow! That all sounds great! He's my 2016 candidate, not Paul.
Paul continuing to open his mouth is what may screw him for 2016. If he keeps alienating the conservative base, he may should run as a democrat.
If Paul is delusional enough to think he has a shot at the top ring, he will not run for the Senate again.
Haven’t you kept up with the news ? Ignoring the Law is positively PRESIDENTIAL these days. . . . (evil grin)
It only applies, I think, if he gets the nomination or is chosen for the VP slot.
I don’t think either will happen. He’ll make a run for the nomination, but his views are looking more and more like his Dad’s and he’s had a number of high profile tripups. He won’t be able to obtain it.
This is the State law. Has zero to do with the Constitution. Otherwise ... yeah. He’s got a problem here.
From the article: “Paul has said that he’d just ignore the law.”
Then he is no better than the illegal in the white hut. He ignores the law too. We certainly do NOT need another CIC that wants to just ignore laws that don’t suit him.
I have some major problems with Paul, but since I'm not running I'll have problems with any candidate.
All in all, I'd support him in the general. My only "hell no" candidate who I will not support is Chris Christie.
If elected, my hope would be that Paul would rattle the comfortable cages in Washington and start slashing real spending. He's more likely to dent the budget than any other candidate.
Paul started strong then went wildly off the rails to the point of outright lying to pander to the low info voters.
Since the presidential race is a state by state race for electors, could he just not run in his home state and forgo the 8 electors there? Or does the law apply to running for president in other states too?
What “Constitution”? I thought we threw the Constitution out the window when we decided to go police state banana republic. We’re a lawless nation now. The DemocRATS don’t worry about the Constitution, Paul shouldn’t have to worry about the Constitution either.
Paul has dropped 5 rungs in my ladder recently. . It’s Ted Cruz or Bust if we want a Reaganesque presidency!
If he would disobey the law just to run for President, imagine what he would do if he were elected.
Sorry, one dictator who ignores the law when it suits him is more than enough.
“Paul has said that he’d just ignore the law.”
Sounds EXACTLY like the current POTUS! Just more proof that “libertarians” are a lawless group, and that Paul is no better than Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama is infamous for “ignoring” whatever laws don’t suit his purpose. We DO NOT need a GOP candidate that does the same.
The US Constitution is similarly silent. The current court might swing 5-4 in favor of the Kentucky limitation.
And I will add that I am not surprised that Liberals would be consistently hypocritical in this matter. Whatever serves their interests. How can they fault Rand?
The country does not need anymore politicians ignoring laws.
Wow! That all sounds great! He's my 2016 candidate, not Paul.
Candidates don’t need no stinkin’ laws.
trivia question, who’s the fourth?
***************************
I’m guessing it was LBJ.
I think Rand Paul has shown his true colors the past couple of months and has no shot at winning the 2016 GOP Primary. He has criticized Conservatives like Cruz and Palin, and allowed far too many of his dad’s and the other paulbots’ libertarian agenda items to slip out when he talks.
