Sincerity is everything,
if you can fake that,
you got it made.
As I recall GW signed a bill that would build a border fence, after the election, he had K Baily pull the funding for that same fence.

Evolve, adapt or die. That is the fate of our current Republican party. We must evolve as a party and find a way to attract millennials to the conservative movement or we will never succeed in realizing our ideals of individual freedom and freedom from government interference.
Initially, I received criticism from political pundits for speaking to non-traditional audiences. I was told it was a waste of time to reach out to these audiences, specifically students from both Howard University and University of California, Berkeley.
My response is this: I have never been one to watch the world go by without participating. I wake up each day hoping to make a difference.
You might be a Republican, Democrat or Independent. I speak before these audiences, not to preach or prescribe some special formula.
My intention is not to tell you what to be. You are more important than any political party or partisan pleadings. My intention is to motivate all Americans and defend their rights.
My hope is that in discussing these topics, more Americans will be open to the conservative message. A message that favors choice in education, a less aggressive foreign policy, more compassion regarding non-violent crime and encourages opportunity in employment.
As a conservative [*cough, *cough] politician, it is clear to me that we must start discussing these topics more with audiences that might not normally hear our message--specifically young adults and students.
Preaching to the choir is not working for the conservative movement. We are growing stale and moss-covered. We must evolve, adapt or die.

This quote pretty much defines your agenda here.
Your conversation won’t go anywhere, the libertarian hit the off switch way back.
Libertarians like to make a veiled feint to the left on a thread, and then they go into their protective closed loop, and won’t defend their liberalism openly, the discussion then becomes one where they despise you, are arguing passionately against you and conservatism, yet they won’t say anything, it is really bizarre.
You know that you are arguing with someone who is promoting social liberalism, but they are too guarded to speak openly and defend their politics, usually they just start a sort of chant, usually repeating the words constitution and liberty over and over, with no connection to the specific political issues, or candidate, or election that they were promoting, or in a couple of cases GOD, over and over, while opposing God, in an effort to neuter social conservatives and Christians and steal from them language that still means something to conservatives.
They will argue at you for days without daring to ever say anything openly, it makes for bizarre threads, but they are promoting ideas and politics that they know are troll positions here, so they play an ugly and disgusting troll game to spread their message of moving left, and trying to stay between the lines.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

Yup.
Kinda figured that’s what’s going on.
You don’t know Darksheare. You don’t know anything about Darksheare.
Rand Paul:
"Preaching to the choir is not working for the conservative movement. We are growing stale and moss-covered. We must evolve, adapt or die."
"I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues,"
I am with you Jim!
Will be able to make my donation to FR tomorrow (or Wednesday the latest).
Yeah, I just LOVE when idiots pretend like they know something.
Especially after the idiotic statements they got called on and tried to backpedal/obfuscate from.
No, that's an obviously false statement.
Indeed.
Those aren't Paul's postions though. He's a pro life Christian, that belives in capitalism and the free market, for a start. I don't agree with him about everything. I've yet to meet a politician which I did. But I think it's better to be clear about what he really thinks.
That never happened.
Seems we have RINOs coming to this thread to poke the lion.
I am certain the influential writers at Breitbart California will stand with me and continue to introduce a more tolerant view of American politics and a view that will attract new members to our movement.
So what he advocating more tolerance of? Faggotry and illegals? Am I missing something?
People who agree in some particulars with conservative ideals, seems to be what he is saying. It is a “big tent” philosophy. Granted some things have to be kept out of the tent or they will ruin it for everyone else.
Rand Paul’s evolving position on illegal immigration.
•Legal status, but not citizenship, for illegal immigrants. (Mar 2013)
•We will find a place for illegal immigrants in America. (Mar 2013)
•Replace de facto amnesty with bipartisan reform. (Mar 2013)
•See immigrants as assets, not liabilities. (Feb 2013)
•Obamacare treats illegal aliens because it’s illegal to ask. (Oct 2010)
•No amnesty; respect the law. (Jul 2010)

It’s not just this thread, either.
I think Jim’s ZOT button is going to get worn out from the troll attacks.
It’s a good thing that they’re so inept about keeping under the radar.
They’re true believers, and they just can’t stop themselves from preaching propaganda.
FYI, the other candidate went to a pro chicken fight rally, asserting states’ rights.
