Bush used his executive experience to double the size of government. No thank you.

I like both Rubio and Cruz.

Rand seems like a loose cannon...He could break bad and pull an Akin.

Give me a break. Rand won his race easy in 2010. Akin is an idiot. No comparison.

I can't believe you just compared Bush to Scott Walker and Sarah Palin.

I don’t think so. I think that Rand Paul is a lot smarter than that.

I really do like his style.

Now....with The Media and Karl Rove gunning for him, it should prove to be interesting.

Rand is heads and shoulders over Rubio, but still weak (though not as weak as Rubio) on immigration. Rand is the most credible potential candidate on really cutting the size of the federal behemoth. But if he doesn’t straighten out his lenient immigration views I couldn’t support him.

I am very impressed with Cruz.

Rubio is a nonstarter.

Rand is the only one who has actually stood up to Homeland InSecurity’s abusive airport sexual molestion policy. I think he would reign in the nutso war on terror and disaster police state wackos. He has no use for Bam’s national civilian ‘army.”

He is loyal to his dad because he is his dad and I am glad he has that character. However, he’s not a liberal-tarian wacko like his dad. Ron Paul’s most wacky supporters hate him and so that is a good thing.

Ted Cruz is looking real good, too. He can think, talk and walk at the same time. He is intellegent and a fighter like Rand Paul.

We conservative tea party types have a bright future if we don’t form a circle and shoot ourselves like last election. They support the constitutional Republic.

he’s all for immigration but he wants them to get in line and secure the border.
