With his outspoken views against foreign aid and a muscular foreign policy, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul was less-than-enthused by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on the Iranian nuclear threat.

The curly headed Sharpton loving one is certainly not the world leader type.
CPAC should eliminate the straw poll altogether...it's a charade, below the dignity of serious convening....and it should leave the bussing to Greyhound.
I saw him. The dude looked like he was stoned.
I doubt that many of the so called ‘front runners’ are even aware that Pres. Jefferson knew how to handle the Barbary i.e. Muslim Pirates.
Good Lord! Now we have to attack republicans because they don’t behave perfectly!
How North Korean!!!
They probably heard he supported Witch McConnell for reelection, you know the McConnell who famously promised to “...crush the Tea Party...” Two “winners,” both from the great basketball state of Kentucky....
Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

I just received this from The Weekly Standard
Walker in a Walk!
About 3,700 of you voted over the last week in the second installment of our presidential straw poll, selecting your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices for the GOP nomination.
The big news is Scott Walker. Walker had won first place by a small margin in January’s poll, winning 18 percent of the ballots in a splintered field (which then included Mitt Romney, who hadn’t yet announced he wasn’t running). Walker has now surged to a dominating position in the new survey, capturing 47 percent of the first choices, and selected as a first, second, or third choice on no less than 78 percent of the ballots (compared to 44 percent last time). Furthermore, in the new poll no one else made into double digits as a first choice, or made it onto as many as a third of the ballots in any position. So (for now!), it’s Walker in a walk.
Here are the complete results. The first number is the percentage the candidate won of 1st place choices, the second is the percentage of the ballots the candidate made it onto as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice. (The comparable January #s are in parentheses.)
Walker: 47/78 (18/44)
Cruz: 9/29 (16/35)
Rubio: 8/31 (4/18)
Carson: 7/27 (10/26)
Paul: 7/14 (6/16)
Bush: 6/17 (8/18)
Jindal: 3/21 (3/20)
Perry: 2/16 (3/15)
Kasich: 2/13 (4/15)
Pence: 2/10 (2/9)
Huckabee: 2/7 (3/12)
Fiorina: 1/9 (1/2)
Bolton: 1/8 (3/10)
Christie: 1/4 (2/8)
All the other candidates had one percent or fewer of first place choices, and were mentioned on three percent or fewer of all ballots.
Apart from Walker’s rise, the only notable change from January seems to be some erosion of support for Cruz and an increase for Rubio—and a surprising number of second and third place votes for Fiorina (mentioned on 9 percent of all ballots, more than Huckabee or Christie).
Obviously, this was not a scientific survey but rather a poll of those who chose to participate. Equally obvious, the race is early and seems very fluid. But it’s well known that WEEKLY STANDARD readers are an unusually perceptive, predictive, and prescient bunch! So make of it what you will.
