Rand Paul up on FOX.
Younger people are attracted to libertarian views. It has it’s place within the GOP.
Wallace asks about Rubios’ idea thtat America still Works. Rand says we don’t need new principles, we need leaders that stand on principle. (good answer, good answer)
On immigration/Everify - Paul says opposing Everify is not main part of plan. Not against any checking, prefers govt to do that. I.e. if you get a work visa, anyone applying for welfare, voting, should be checked against that database.
Rand doesn’t think any immigration will pass GOP votes without his type of border security. Doesn’t trust ANY president to establish whether the border is secure. Congress should be voting on that.
Rand Paul, FOX - Doesn’t want to promote drug use, but doesn’t want to put them in jail for extended periods. Our prisons are full of non-violents which ruins their lives. Doesn’t promote drug use.
On Same sex marriage - should be a state issue. DOMA has complicated the issue. Thinks the court could strike down the federal aspect of it. Thinks tax code/health insurance could be written to eliminate marriage as part of the issue.
I am 90% convinced to register as a Libertarian.
Being pressed, as it were, here locally, to get involved with the pubs...Tea Party Types.
Nope.
They won.
I’m outta there.
