I don't name call. I don't need to.

And I'm not trying to get conservatives to vote for whatever liberal republican candidate the party decides to put up.

I'm trying to politically destroy liberal republicans.

A better approach is to calmly take your opponents argument apart. No you likely will not convince him/her, but who cares? It's all about the lurkers. You want to influence their thinking.

A pissing contest convinces no one of anything, except that a ass so and so is.

Is Rand Paul acceptable to conservatives? At this time, I'd have to say no. I certainly like him on many issues but IMHO he has put entirely too much effort into making himself acceptable to the GOPe. He has greatly softened is position on illegal amnesty, which is a deal breaker for me. He'd gone over to the dark side on homosexual issues such as gays in the military and he appears to be very naive on matters of national security and foreign policy. Ted Cruz although far from perfect(wrong on Egypt and Syria) is vastly better then Paul at this point.
