I don’t want someone who wants WW3 with Russia over Ukraine but I also don’t think we want someone who will copy Obama’s foreign policy and just let Putin and Iran take over the world.
Oy! Where to begin? The Pauls have many good ideas on the financial side of the ledger but tend to be moonbats when it comes to immigration. With Republicans like these, who needs democrats?
Theres so much waste in government, why do Conservatives automatically assume that the government could allocate resources efficiently in the military as well. Everything needs to be cut, include the military. Theres waste EVERY WHERE

Oh, without a doubt the GOP establishment will do much more to resist Rand Paul than it will against Hillary Clinton. (And, to the FRustration of many here, I say they’ll fight against Ted Cruz just as hard).
So that leaves Rand Paul with choices. Stay, fight the GOP from the inside like his father tried to do, or leave, taking his supporters to a 3rd party. He’ll still have to fight the likes of the GOP-e and Adelstein, but at least he won’t be kidding anyone that they’re on the same side. And how many votes he would be able to pull away from the GOP - your guess is as good as mine.
I think they’re afraid of him.
You posted the Ezra Klein piece earlier
He and Chait are fellow travelers
Same DNA
same exact worldview
Detest social conservatives and real Christians but lack the balls to confess their own bigotry
So what would you expect me to think of what THEY write?
Anyone starts out saying “neoconfederate” reminds me of dikcheads here I think should have been banned long ago.
Fair nuff?
Paranoid?
Turns out most those they called "conspiracy theorist", are much more accurate about government than the entire MSM.
Paulistas being Paulistas. Total sell out.
Rand Paul taking over the Republican party is like a squirrel (on meth) taking over the backyard...in so many ways.
If New York Magazine is against it, I am for it.
Rand Paul couldn’t take over a bubble pipe.
I would never vote for Paul for many reasons
How can a writer be stupid enough to write an article this long and not stumble over the name Lew Rockwell ? Both Rand and his dad are sock puppets for Rockwell who started blaming US for 9/11 by noon that very day. Rand like Reagan foreign policy? Ron quit the House because Reagan put Pershing missiles in Europe, Ron saw this as aggression.
“Paul has approached American politics from the diametric pole.”
Paul approached American politics from a 2016 view. His arrogance in lecturing conservatives and his views on issues are not something I will vote for. Don’t run, Paul. You have entitlement issues and your views do not resonate well.
The Left is in his corner, pushing his candidacy. No less than Tingles said that the race will be between Hillary and Rand Paul. First it was MSNBC, now this.
They WANT him because they know he can’t win.
This article is written by a far leftist Zero supporter. It don’t read their garbage.
The article isn’t all that clear, but if being an “isolationist” today means staying clear of Syria and stating the obvious about the rest of the Middle East - that we had NO BUSINESS in toppling regimes and we’ve managed to take an area where we had dictators that we could live with, and replace them with horrendous who-knows-what, except that they hate America and kill Christians for sport. And if being an “isolationist” means thinking that it’s a bad idea to go toe-to-toe with either Russia or China, after decimating our military, then call me an “isolationist”.
Not sure about the other stuff though.
