Rand Paul doing his best democrat impersonation, telling a room full of blacks the GOP must “reconnect” with them.
He makes me sick to my stomach. Rand Paul needs to talk to
Allen West or Tim Scott and tell them the GOP has not done enough for them and wants to “reconnect” them. Allen West would laugh in his face.
I liked Rand Paul until he started to play the "New and Improved, Politically Correct GOP" act by supporting amnesty for illegals. Since he pandered to Mexicans, I'm not surprised to see him pandering to blacks.
Having said that, what's the alternative? Jeb Bush? Marco Rubio? They're a thousand times worse. At least Rand Paul is solid on some issues.
First, welcome to FR. We probably agree on more than 90% of issues. I make it a habit of reading comments in context.
Living in the south, I can't understand why blacks aren't supporting conservatives. They vote in a block, brainwashed by community activists against their own core beliefs. The churches I go to are integrated evangelical melting pots and I'd have it no other way. Neither would our Lord Jesus.
But, your comments on Rand Paul are either without merit or out of context within conservative dogma. I have a post here with his plank that is as "conservative" as anyone in either house:
Can Rand Paul Solve The GOP's Minority Voter Problem? #25
So rather than state that Paul "makes me sick to my stomach", how about you back it up with at least one reason or fact if you can...? I'll be the next in line to criticize each position you show he supports that is wrong for America.
