Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Thanks for the details. Reminds me, once again, of the dangers of even watered-down, Senate-poll tested libertarianism. In your fine list, you forgot to mention Rand Paul’s siding with the rioters in Ferguson Missouri.
I detest the squishy-sweet idea that we should be more “welcoming” to supporters of gay marriage. Of course, we should welcome their support for Republican candidates in general. But what the RINOs really mean is that ignorant “emotional” conservatives should give up entirely on the marriage issue!
