We don’t hand out welfare to animal filth. So what do you expect?

So there are no non-white people in America who aren't "animal filth" on welfare?

How did Reagan win two massive landslides?

Reagan knew how to sell conservatism to 'Rat voters. Reagan won twice. Romney didn't and Romney lost.

For instance, Romney needed to explain how GOP policies would enable those in the famous 47% who don't want to be there to rise up out of it.

If Rand Paul is advocating that the GOP explain itself better, what's to argue about? We need to peel off more of the Democrat base if we are to win.

The speculation of Rand Paul as a veep for the rinos, goes back to when Ron Paul was being mysteriously soft on Mitt Romney, during the 2012 primary.

Rand Paul endorsed and campaigned for Mitt Romney, and now, as you pointed out, he seems to be campaigning for at least, the veep slot.

Everyday now it seems..he’s saying something to get my blood pressure up. Seriously, he would be an excellent leader for the ACLU in NSA, police-state issues.

I got it the first time. but the point still stands. Movie quotes as political arguments arent a winning strategy when you are provably mistaken either.

We have done what you said for 100 years. If you want to deny it, that’s your call. Many minorities know well they are welcome and choose freely to not take the right up on the invitation. That is a set in stone fact.

Now if you believe saying it louder helps, thats fine. If you think we need to compromise then you are wrong.

It didn’t help that the Reagan hating Mitt Romney was liberal, came out against the pro-life party platform, and was running pro-choice ads in Virginia, Wisconsin and Ohio.

Rand Paul is also left/libertarian/rino, on social issues, and is “growing” on abortion and border issues, gay marriage, etc.

“I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,” Paul advised. “The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”

Paul has much in common with his man Mitt Romney.

If Matt Bevin does not win in May, my family and I will be vacating some space at GOP events for whomever Rand wants to invite and is dumb enough to accept.

The Democrats have been buying minority votes for decades, and they are reaping the rewards of it. What does Rand want to do to turn that around?

Amnesty isn’t going to do it. The Republican Party can’t out buy the Democrats, and we can’t out Democrat the Democrats.

I know. The Republican Party needs to stop being ashamed of conservatism, and start communicating it to minorities who say they are conservative.

Come one, come all.

I just don’t understand the hostility to the idea that we need to convince non traditional republicans to join us.

Assuming that’s the case, what is hostile? I have black people in my family Do I want them dead? No. Do I want them on my political team? They are. Do I wish all minorities were? Sure. If they accept it the way it is and not expect us to go democrat to accommodate them. If thats the case then they can stay wherever they are. I have zero use for a political opponent fighting me on the homefront.

That’s not something new we are learning about Rand Paul.
People who were paying attention pointed all this out about him from the beginning.

Paultards denied it, but they will say anything and follow anyone who offers them liberal hedonism without all those annoying taxes.

Me either and good on you! But there are people right here today wasting all our time fighting us that he’s a conservative and a potential candidate for president. And every second of that is time wasted we could apply to someone worth it.

What irritates me is the idea that being with all white people is a bad thing.
