The author supports slavery, rape, Obama, crucifixion,
beheading, fraud, obstruction of justice, and TYRANNY.
By contrast, both candidates are for freedom.

Probably.
Cruz is capable of winning without the college crowd - they don't vote anyway.

Ted Cruz 2016!...which is why the field is not big enough for the both of them.
To: Diogenesis
The author supports slavery, rape, Obama, crucifixion, beheading, fraud, obstruction of justice, and TYRANNY. Where does she that?
To: EveningStar
That’s what primaries are for. Why post pointless jabber?

It is wrong, and will come to be seen as increasingly silly, to pretend to think that Rand Paul is equal in importance and stature, to Ted Cruz.

What question are you talking about?
To: skeeter
Um, actually, they do - multiple times in different precincts.
And brag about it on social media.
Documented here on FR during the 2012 selection cycle. Any precinct in FL that had a major university went wildly Left - even near military bases.

Rand Paul appeals to the libertarian mindset, but his foreign policy ideals are NOT in line with Conservatives who believe that ISRAEL deserves the best and full support of the United States of America! This disqualifies Paul...
To: skeeter
Don’t be too sure.
The college crowd in Iowa City gave us Congressman Ed Mezvinsky...

In all due respect to Mr. Paul, he’s really not even in the same league as Mr. Cruz.

Sure,because Rand Paul is a nut and Ted Cruz is an unconventional genius. The Pauls are too far off.
