Same rhetoric as last July, but somewhat more ambiguous. Last time, he was looking like “Democrat Lite” when he said that. (Of course, he does not say that the Dems somehow look like the rest of America, whatever he even means by that; but he does not say that they don’t either.)

Rand Paul blows hot and cold. Today he is here, tomorrow he will make a statement to appease conservatives.

Paul needs to take a good look at the conservative base and the conservative leadership. It does look like America and more so everyday.

Every time RP starts reeling me in he slaps me back into the cheap seats.

Sorry Rand, I'm sold on those with true visions of conservative principles. Give me some more Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Allen West and Trey Gowdy ...a lot more!

I don’t give a rat’s ass about your neck tattoos... or how often you eat chitlins and collard greens, the Republican Party needs to adopt the values of the constitutional conservatives that, believe it or not, are the majority of the taxpaying electorate.

When it comes to strategy and messaging, the entire Paul family leaves a lot to be desired.

Next time we see Paul, I’m sure he’ll have a spray on tan, multiple piercings, and some face tattoos to ensure that we ‘look’ like america.

"To win you have to make the same mistakes again as we did when we lost last time."
I think not.
Don't do what's deemed popular, do what's RIGHT and people will come.
Have some principals, don't all be marketing schmucks.

The GOP will be a white-heavy party until it dies.

The GOP needs to get the same amongst Minorities and do better amongst midwest whites.

Real power currently exists in the hand of the Community organizer from south side of Chicago and his henchman Holder.

How did he get that power? By welcoming diverse groups in their fold. It is majority of voters by summation of all minor groups.

There is a 3000 year old idiom in Sanskrit, which says to make friends you must not shut the front door in their face. If you are hospitable, there is infinitely greater chance you can win their hearts and minds. By shutting the door in their face there is zero chance of winning them over.

If republicans do not learn this basic lesson by 2016, get ready for more executive orders by Hillary, more late term abortions, more IRS Gestapo tactics, further weakening of Military, more appointments to Supreme court lasting 30 years each, higher taxes, expansion of Obamacare to strangle the middle class, and more control of our lives.

Conservatives can come in all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and colors. That said, it doesn’t appear to be what Senator Paul means. The legitimacy of conservatism is not based on who does or doesn’t accept it. Its legitimacy will be in whether or not it speaks truthfully and factually.

Rand, if you oppose the Constitution, just say so.

I don’t have time for your go along to get along politics.

Have you ever studied human history in your life?

Ron Paul is a man without principles. It’s been clear for some time that Rand Paul is also a man without principles.

The GOP does look like the rest of America except for the lack of blacks. Part of that is their fault, part of it is ours. Its their fault for drinking the Liberal Cool-Aide and viewing Obama as a Black man when in reality he is black AND white and RED all over. Its our fault for just writing them off in every election as a lost cause.

As for tattoos and earrings (aside from women) - that is part of America’s problem.

A woman with tattoos is making a statement - I’m just as good as a tough man - which she is not.

A guy covered with tattoos and metal jewelry dangling from his eyebrows, ears, and lips (women too) is ALSO making a statement - I don’t give a damn about your sensibilities or public opinion.

I wouldn’t hire any of them until they dressed like a civilized person instead of some savage barbarian.

This is the problem with Libertarians. They get carried away with tolerance to the point of idiocy.

>> Paul suggested that Republicans should decide if they are going to “go bold” on fiscal issues or become “Democrat light.” <<

Paul needs to decide the same on illegal immigration issues.

"Me too" just buys us more of the same, Randall, and we are running out of time.
