Is this the same Team Romney that could not win an election when everything was going against the Democrats? That is like partnering with the Detroit Lions to win the Super Bowl (no offense to Lions fans).
Paul ... said the Republican Party has to rewrite
its standard platform to woo minorities
into a broad coalition that can win national races.
Oh gee Senator Paul, why didn’t we think of that? Let’s just water down the GOP even more. Yeah, what a great plan Rand. Christ, how many times have we done this in the last few election cycles? The American people are desperate for a choice and it isn’t much of one when one party is hard left and the other one is semi left. The more and more I hear from Rand Paul the more I realize this man can’t be the next GOP nominee.
Ron Paul-Rand Paul. Loon 1 and Loon 2.
An ophthalmologist? Physician, heal thyself.
Another of the increasing number of times Paul is trying to be all things to all people.
The trouble is, he is painting his positions thinner and thinner. Soon, they will be so thin that they have little substance.
The Republican Party needs leadership that stands for something, rather than tries to be all things. Of course, finding what the current Republican Party stands for is quite a task. They appear more Dem-lite. Thus, why should voters go for ‘lite’ when the real thing is the opposition candidate in the presidential election?
Somebody tell Rand that Romney lost. :-)
Paul makes the same old racist progressive mistake.
The Republican party succeeds when it offers equality of opportunity, and equality before the law. It fails when it offers *some* people advantages over *other* people, as *groups*, not individuals. Thus, “big tent” means failure.
The Republican way: “Any of you children might someday grow up to become president.”
The Democrat way: “None of you white children should become president, because you’re white. Black and Hispanic children should become president, because you are black and Hispanic. Especially if you are LGBT.”
Republicans treat individual citizens as individuals. Democrats, and apparently a lot of liberal Republicans, and now Rand Paul, just cannot get over the idea of “group-think”, that it is so much *easier* to deal with homogeneous groups “that are all the same”.
It may be easier for them, but it is still very wrong.
Tea Party favorite, is he now?
