Back in the 1970’s Paul was seen as great conservative.

Rand Paul pointed out in an appearance recently that his father was one of only four Republican members of Congress to endorse Ronald Reagan over Gerald Ford in 1976.

Paul was rated one of the most conservative members of the House back some 30 or so years ago along with fellow Texas member Dick Armey.

Paul is opposing the foreign policy establishment just like he did in the 1970’s when they pushed detente with the Soviets.

Today the foreign policy makers value a New World Order and fight limited wars.

I support our troops in Afghanistan but its pretty obvious the enemy there is backed by Pakistani elements that aren’t being defeated on the battlefield.

Paul argues against the wars but comes off as the anti-war nut who supports America’s enemies.

That hurts him but his heart is still against the political establishment and their schemes to increase our national debt and fight limited wars under international rules and authority.

I would vote for Newt in SC, but Paul is capturing hearts and Sarah Palin says we can’t ignore his voters.

“That hurts him but his heart is still against the political establishment and their schemes to increase our national debt and fight limited wars under international rules and authority.”

I think if Paul could make that argument more effectively, it would do him a lot of good: that he’s not against all wars but against poorly executed, limited ones that don’t have the full national backing needed for a massive engagement and a decisive victory. I think that’s his point. And he’s right.

Given that we haven’t managed to actually win a war since 1945 (with the possible exception of Grenada) why is there so much surprise that an anti-going to war feeling is gaining traction in this country???

Don't forget to send him money...he has been collecting for over 30 years....what does he do with it?

Paul is a racist Jew hating 9/11 truther who called our troops war criminals .
Your rant Is pure Crap !

You are right. I make fun of Paul & he is my next-to-last choice in the GOP contest but he has a lot to bring to the table and we should recognize this.

And the more I hear about him and from him, the more I think the charges of antisemitism, racism, trutherism etc. are serious distortions of his viewpoints which are being pumped up by the old establishment.

Yes, Paul does have a lot of looney supporters.
