This is where I part company with Rand. I prefer Mike Lee or Ted Cruz for this reason, though Rand is hard to beat on the size of government.
Same here and even then he stands head and shoulders over the cowards who are desperately trying to destroy him.
This is part of the pollution of libertarianism into conservatism.
There are very valid reasons for preserving culture and tradition, and libertarians rarely see the dangers of cultural corruption and destruction.
Same with me. Rand’s record so far is admittedly terrific, and I hardly want to rain on his parade after last week’s stellar offering. But I can’t help but be wary, not wanting to be blindsided by sudden, extremely unwelcome libertarian inclinations, from open-borders to pro-dope and whatnot.
If Rand joins with Rubio on amnesty, he will never get my vote. Some GOP-E types think that if they just push this garbage through now, it will be behind them, and the issue will be dead by the 2016 election. More likely it will be the Party’s final death-knell.
