My take as well. He's a sane version of his father.

He has some whacked out neo-isolationist ideas on foreign policy. But our military will be in such bad shape after 8 years of BO, it cannot project his power abroad anyway.

At this point in our history, the enemy within the gates is a far more serious threat then the enemy without them.

He has warts. But far fewer than McCain or Romney did.

Smart guy, that Rand Paul.

We've been under the tyranny of our political labels for far too long.

Do the labels we wear now bear any resemblance to the principles we believe and live by that once long ago might have defined those labels?

Bravo, Rand Paul, for taking that question to what many consider the heart of the marxist beast.

May that beast die the death of a thousand cuts made by the young voters he reached out to.

Hopefully, the entrepreneurial types, whose spirit and drive created our Silicon Valley and similar places, will also listen and question their blind allegiance to a label that is counter to that spirit, their efforts and what they have created.

Social liberal?

Pro-life. Pro-traditional marriage. Anti-welfare.

Yeah... OBVIOUSLY a “liberal”.

I totally agree... but the ~tarians that keep trying to pass as “Conservatives” (here and anywhere near other Conservatives) keep throwing excuses and straw man arguments (and don’t/won’t/can’t see the proof of their wanted candidate(s) NOT being Conservative).

Good luck with deprograming the liberal stronghold not sure if it can be done a weak mind tends to stay in that mode.

Here’s an idea. Don’t tell ‘em. Go, give the speeches, but leave out the parts you KNOW they won’t like.

You’d think this would be common sense.

"He has some whacked out neo-isolationist ideas on foreign policy."

You mind relating what these are? Paul is not my guy, but I wonder what is considered a whacked out non-isolationist idea.

Rand is running the kenyan’s playbook. Hide your radical views and run as a mainstream candidate to get elected. It won’t work because he doesn’t have the MSM in his pocket.

Paul is a Libertopian: Soc Liber and Fiscal Conserv

___________________________________________________

More like nutballtopian. Open borders and fiscal conservatism is an impossibility.

I call Ron/Rand a losertarian.

What radical views? The ACU rates candidates off of their votes. Rand has a 100% rating.

Those must be some SERIOUSLY hidden views if he isn’t even voting that way...

Summed up best by his father in the last presidential debate: "The reason Al Qaida is over here is because we're over there."

I'm not sure if Rand is quite that extreme, but too close.

Runt Paul and his Libtardian ideas would gain zero votes from blacks and the young skulls full of mush.

They won’t vote for anyone that doesn’t support queer marriage, abortion, drugs, and lots of free stuff.

Embrace any of those and you lose 2 conservative votes for every liberal vote gained.

There is a reason why Libtardians never win elections for anything. Turds in the punch bowl, one and all.

If there’s not a black person running they stay home anyway.
