Telegram: Youre going to join U.S. Sen. Susan Collins for a state party fundraiser today. Shes defended National Security Agency spying programs you oppose, and shes also running against a Democrat, Shenna Bellows, who comes pretty close to sharing your views on that and other privacy issues. Do you support her, despite disagreement on many of those issues? Rand Paul: I wholeheartedly endorse Senator Collins for re-election. I think shes doing a great job for Maine and for the country. ... I dont really know, exactly, what her position is on the NSA; youd have to ask her about that. I just know my position, but I think were a big political party. Theres room for not-entire agreement on every issue.

e) Voted for a conservative and let the cards fall where they fall instead of helping move the party left then coming to FR and crying that the GOP moved left.
You continue lying about FReepers, just like
Romney, your polygamy promoting boss.
I never called the lying Rat Romney a “Commie atheist”.
He is miserable liar, and you repeatedly are too.
Are you secretly married to Mitt?
Or do you just post his stupid statist policies
here, endlessly, out of love for him?
So is that to say that Jim Robinson chose "D"? I have a challenge for ya.In Britain there's a national election coming up in about a year.There'll be three main players in that election.1) "Red Ed" Milliband,an unapologetic Maoist and the *son* of an unapologetic Maoist.2) David Cameron,not conservative by *our* standards but a whole lot closer to being one than Milliband.3) Nigel Farage,a charismatic and articulate guy who has some worthwhile things to say but who doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning.Everyone there is saying that Farage will take just enough votes from Cameron to allow Red Ed to win.If that happens is there any lesson that you,a "true" conservative,can take from that event and apply it in '16?
I agree with you but you're never going to get across to a segment of people who post on this forum and believe that the same country that sent Obama to the White House twice is going to turn around and elect Ted Cruz or Sarah Palin to replace him.
Rand Paul is increasingly looking more and more to be the most conservative candidate who can actually win.
BS. If the GOP wants to even have a chance,
it better show CONSERVATISM ASAP.
And that is not Paul, or Romney, or McCain, and the like.
If the only other ballot choice is to vote for a dem and increase the count in Harry Reid’s favor, what can you do?
Mitt could actually win until didn’t.
Lets keep licking the frozen flagpole and wondering why we are stuck. Brilliant and cunning plan I say!
the problem with pragmatism is that it is subjective. idiots like rand use it to hide their idiocy by “just being pragmatic” - but that’s only their opinion.

Pragmatism is just a more easy to swallow way to say ‘situational ethics’. If one person on earth can show me where conservative philosophy embraces situational ethics as desirable or even acceptable I’ll retract my entire post history.
pragmatism == situational ethics == moral relativism == rationalization.
And yet supposedly rock ribbed ‘conservatives’ pretend it just isn’t so and over 2 years out from the big election they are already laying the groundwork excuses to embrace it..
funny that.
...excuse to vote for non-conservatives only because it’s the former party of most conservatives.
All Rand Paul needs are Romney's voters and a handful of younger, libertarian-leaning former Democrats unhappy with the economy and Obamacare. And he's courting them and they're responding to him.
Yup. And we get amnesty, a moderate GOP that shuns social issues and all the rest.
OH BOY! WHAT A WIN!
We could get that by voting for Hilliary as well. So why vote for the lesser liberal?
You mean winning independents?
