Nothing to see here. They are not going to agree on everything. However, I am closer to Cruz than I am to Paul. I am not too happy to seen Paul play footsie with the Rino leaders under the table.
“too happy to seen Paul” = “too happy to see Paul”
Obama's second term proved that.
I think that they are both staking out political territory. They do differ on many points, but I would vote for a Cruz/Rand or Rand/Cruz ticket against any Democrat.
The deport them all people would be wise to realize (like it or not) the USA is not going to forcibly remove 25 to 30 million illegals. That is just not going to happen. I don't like sad fact either, but being a realist I have to accept that mass deportation is off the table. Paul knows this and Cruz knows it too. So what now? Protect the border, protect the vote and no new pathway to citizenship which is exactly what Paul was proposing.
I think it is the Jeb Bush faction of the GOP that is trying to tare down a good man. Or maybe Rummy is running again. I would think FR would be behind Paul simply because he is a big pain in McCain's butt being a wacko bird and all.
I don’t know.
Obama’s second term seems every bit as likely, due to two things:
First off, he’s the only African-American president. Likely to remain the only one, from what he’s show so-far.
And second, to tell the truth we ran candidates both races, who were remarkably like Obama.
Who in the world would vote against Obama, for Romney? Or vote against Obama, for McCain?
We need to stop imitating Democrat candidates, and stop nominating “me too” candidates.
No more McCain and no more Romney.
For that matter, no more GOP but that is just me.
IN 2016 we need a real, solid conservative. Or two.
(Palin, Cruz are just two possibilities)
For American jobs, and for America.
Now.
That’s the money paragraph. I doubt there would be much disagreement between Cruz and Paul on this common sense tactical approach...
We don’t like the UN, but I think you underestimate the need of dictatorships to save face. Paul’s point, if I follow him, is that America is exceptional and we need to act like it. Obama’s not doing that.
I do not support amnesty, I support legal immigration and recognize that the country has been enriched by those who seek the freedom to make a life for themselves. However, millions of illegal immigrants are crossing our border without our knowledge and causing a clear threat to our national security. I want to work in the Senate to secure our border immediately. In addition, I support the creation of a border fence and increased border patrol capabilities.Immigrants should meet the current requirements, which should be enforced and updated. I realize that subsidizing something creates more of it, and do not think the taxpayer should be forced to pay for welfare, medical care and other expenses for illegal immigrants. Once the subsidies for illegal immigration are removed, the problem will likely become far less common.
I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.
Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation's security. Instead of closing military bases at home and renting space in Europe, I am open to the construction of bases to protect our border.
What a weak border security, amnesty wimp.
Must I use the /sarc tag?
These are two of the most important posts I have read in a long time. Everything else is secondary.........including Cruz/Paul amnesty positions.
Thanks ...you beat me to posting that. Geez what is with these weakling-brains supposedly on our side helping the Dems tear down the very people we need elected.
Rand and Cruz, go you guys... you two are the only hope we got in DC.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
You think that has the remotest chance of ever happening? Let reality sink in huh?

I keep seeing that you make sense here among the herd of feeble minded, thank you.

thank you (twice) :)
Yeah, and our side buys it hook, line, and stinker. That is why we always lose! LOL
Who do you think he was talking about? Someone else who holds the exact same position as Cruz?
Rand Paul supports Neo-Soviet Russia and Red China and Ted Cruz supports the USA.
