Rand Paul actually isn’t a very good libertarian. I’m surprised that kaled likes him.

For a conservative, Paul is wrong on amnesty because he supports it just like libertarians do, who apparently don’t believe in national sovereignty. He’s also wrong on drugs, because he wants them sold openly on the street.

At this point in time, he’s right on abortion, which he opposes. Also, he’s right on homosexual marriage which he opposes.

Those two should cause libertarians to cringe, but they believe he’ll flipflop if he were to get the nomination.

Nope, a couple years back he said that there should be "thousands of exceptions" that allow abortion.

In the end, he's just like his father, he claims to be pro-life but he is actually just in favor of more "and then you can kill the baby laws."

Libertarians see RandPaul as one of their own no matter what he says while running, the same way that the authoritarian Left recognized Obama as one of their own no matter what he said while running for President.

I will continue to correct you on those claims, Paul is wrong on abortion and wrong on gay marriage.

He said that? I thought Rand Paul and Ted Cruz were in agreement on marijuana.
