This would be great if he were taking our conservative message to them.
Instead, Rand Paul is trying to build the political political support needed so that he can defeat conservatism within the GOP and make it a rino/libertarian party, and totally eliminate the Reagan wing.

Hint: A Constitutionally restrained federal government IS a conservative message.
What other politician is bringing up the fact that the government is completely out of control to leftist college kids and is actually getting their applause because it resonates with them (probably because they have never heard such a message before)?
That’s right. No one.
I despise Paul’s flippity floppity behavior when it comes to the topic of illegal immigrants but saying Paul isn’t delivering a conservative message — that being a Constitutionally restrained federal government — where no other politician dares to go is denying what lies at the heart of conservatism: Liberty.
BINGO!
Great post.
Social liberalism and gay marriage and wanting to move the GOP party platform left, are NOT a conservative message.
Gay marriage and social liberalism at the federal level are big government, not small government, and Paul is running for federal office.
Calling for the GOP to rewrite it’s platform dropping fundamental elements of conservatism and coming out against the conservative base, is not conservative.
He supports the vile Mitch McConnell, the most crooked and damaged Gop leader in my lifetime .
