SEAN HANNITY: You're really taking on a lot of issues. One of them is outreach, the second one is the NSA, the third going after the president. Do you agree with Ted Cruz when he said Rand and I are good friends. Do you agree with that statement?

SEN. RAND PAUL: We always have been good friends. I'm not real excited about him mischaracterizing my views and, you know, I won't let that pass. I think that, you know, sometimes people want to stand up and say, 'Hey, look at me, I'm the next Ronald Reagan.' Well, almost all of us in the Republican party are big fans of Ronald Reagan. I was a 13-year-old kid when my dad was a delegate for Reagan, I was there in Kansas City. I've always been a big fan of peace through strength.

I think America should and has a responsibility around the world and really, virtually all the opinions that have been coming from Republicans are somewhat the same on this. That Putin should be condemned. He should be isolated. I favor sanctions against Putin. So, for people to characterize that as somehow not being the Reagan position, I think they need to have a re-reading of Reagan, frankly. Reagan was famous for --

" Levin or Palin needs to call both Cruz and Paul to the table and have them bury the hatchet, NOW. "

Yep, any way it turns out they're going to need each other.

And we need them both.

Ok ,I now its hard to be smarter than a 5th grader so I will start you off, because I feel sorry for you “Paulites” streaming into the main auditorium to hear him rail against government overreach and neoconservativism on Friday afternoon. In many respects, his win in the CPAC poll seemed pre-ordained — his band of followers having a well-earned reputation for flooding polls and forums like these. What it portends for a possible 2012 presidential run is anyone’s guess. Paul had a similar cult-like following during the 2008 election, only to garner a relatively small chunk of the actual vote. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/20/cpac-2010-straw-poll-resu_n_470319.html No Go to sleep it’s past your bedtime.

No, no, no - you misunderstood. I didn't say please spew childish insults because I dared asked you to present evidence for your slander about stuffing ballot boxes.

What I said was, please provide the evidence.

You know, evidence - the thing you can't provide.

The thing you replace with a filthy mouth.

Evidence.

So let's see some links to YOUR lunatic contentions.

Rand got 31%

Leagalize pot got 33%

Must be a coincidence.

someone who doesn't understand the meaning of constitutional.

At the present time it means what ever it needs to mean.

Hannity was stoking the fires between Paul and Cruz, on his show last night. No need to do that!

DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!

Better libertarians than Rino’s.

Rand Paul has been standing up (literally) for the Constitution for quite a few years, especially with regard to the second amendment.

I've seen little to suggest he won't continue to uphold and defend the Constitution, which makes him threat to the vast majority of the Federal GuvCo.

So, yes, I tend to trust him.

On the other hand, noting your handle here, I don't trust the Bush family and place a great deal of blame on GWB for the great American Lockdown we now have.

No more kinder, gentler marxists rinos!!

LOL, so voting, itself, is treachery because it’s impossible that so many people could disagree with you.

LOL, m’kay. Sure simplifies things, I’ll give you that!
