Thanks for asking. The point is that Rand Paul is NO SALE at FR. I just picked one of the overabundance of your thread opportunities to present the warts of Rand ... and "L"iberalitarians like him.

There are three legs to the conservative stool. While I like the libertarian position on the fiscal leg, you fail miserably on both the social and national defense legs.

And the libertarians fail to realize that they have a lot more in common with the far left on social issues and defense.

Rand Paul actually isn’t a very good libertarian. I’m surprised that kaled likes him.

For a conservative, Paul is wrong on amnesty because he supports it just like libertarians do, who apparently don’t believe in national sovereignty. He’s also wrong on drugs, because he wants them sold openly on the street.

At this point in time, he’s right on abortion, which he opposes. Also, he’s right on homosexual marriage which he opposes.

Those two should cause libertarians to cringe, but they believe he’ll flipflop if he were to get the nomination.
