Sen. Rand Paul prefers exhausting diplomatic efforts in dealing with overseas conflicts, and on Sunday he highlighted the difference between his softer approach to foreign policy and that of two other senators who are likely 2016 presidential candidates -- Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

The Kentucky Republican joined fellow first-term senators Cruz of Texas and Rubio of Florida on stage Sunday evening in California for a summit organized by Freedom Partners.

Don’t blame me, I warned people in 2010 that Rand Paul can’t be trusted, and was shouted down by the “Paulbot = TEA PARTY CONSERVATIVE” crowd.

Paul like his Dad should run on the liberaltarian ticket and let everyone know who and where he really stands for.

I do believe the L party does have their own nomination process, their own party and, their own conventions.

Those who shot you down are the very same who are wanting their drugs, sex with anything, and open borders, plus they can’t get it that they are not republicans nor conservatives but are far more left than liberals on social issues.

So Rand Paul presumes to provide advice regarding Cuba to two men who have family from that place? Perhaps Cruz and Rubio ought to give Rand Paul some pointers on performing surgery.

Foreign policy:

Support and work with your Allies, and work together to crush your common enemies.

This formula has worked since the beginning of time, so why f!@# with it?

I have some libertarian leanings, but Rand is showing me that voting for him would be a big mistake.

His prior views aside, I found Rubio’s presentation to be very impressive during that panel discussion. He has a gift for the soundbite.

Nothing wrong with sharing the American perspective.

Unless you think US policy to Cuba should benefit Cubans rather than Americans.

Thankfully most of the Paul sleaze have slithered off someplace. Key to remember is Rand is his daddy’s little boy.....

Paul and Pat Buchanan should form their own little queer club.

Actually I disagree they want very little to no government. They want government virtually out of the way. I’d like the first liberal to step forward that ever wishes for that.

Anarchy is what they want. No laws and do what ever they want. Much like the anarchists we see all the time.
