I don’t question Rand Paul’s spine, I question his brain. He holds extreme libertarian views and is not really a Republican...just like his wack job daddy.

Hardcore libertarians just don’t fully belong in the GOP...they only hand out their out of convenience. Rand Paul needs to stop hiding as a “Republican” and run only as a Libertarian...stand with the group he really represents.

You can accuse Rand Paul of being a Constitutionalist. I certainly hope that being a defender of the Constitution doesn't mean you're an "extreme libertarian."

Besides, I still remember what Ronald Reagan said about libertarianism.

Ronald Reagan: "If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism."

New leaders will rise up—some from unlikely places—Maybe the Entertainment world (Kelsy Gramer? or Clint Eastwood) Or the world of Talk Radio (Michael Reagan,) or maybe sports or The military (Gen. Patreus —Confess your sins—pull the rug out from under Obama and run for president—American’s are a forgiving people) Even Donald Trump might point the way for a man of Business as a new hero for the future. Many new leaders can come forth when the time comes. That time will be soon.

“Hardcore libertarians just don’t fully belong in the GOP...”

I agree. They are nothing like Republicans. They actually believe in a limited federal government, following the Constitution every now and then, states rights... real wack jobs those Libertarians, especially Rand Paul.

Keep on supporting the “other” Republicans that fully belong in the GOP like McCain, Romney, Boner, Bush 1, 2 and 3... Men that fully belong in the GOP and fully support big government and the progressive agenda.

I don’t agree 100% with Rand (or anyone, for that matter) but he is far and away the best representative of conservative principles in Washington, DC.

I’ll vote for Rand any day. Luckily, I am a Kentuckian and actually get to.

I’m not sure he’s his daddy. He’s spouted some different stances not in line with the Paulshiveks, alot of whom don’t like and don’t support Rand, which is a very good sign.
