No he didn't, he went to Ferguson and proposed things like 'Jobs Programs' in place of prison terms for felons and Federal oversight of local police, classic Big Government positions. Of all the 2016 GOP potentials, Rand Paul seems most likely to 'sell us out' based on the words out of his own mouth. |

I like Rand, it's really not his fault the usual suspects around here didn't understand his comments about Fergussen or why he made them.
That said, he's starting to make a habit out of trolling his opponents and it doesn't do him credit. Calling out Clinton after the midterm, his sparring with McCain and Santorum and others and now throwing the isolationist label at Rubio. I'm sure his advisors are telling him to throw punches, but I don't think he's landing many of them lately. Cuba is a non-issue IMO, neither side ha a strong enough argument to elicit a single fuck. |

Rand Paul: Expand Jobs Programs by Reducing Sentences
People at the [Ferguson] event said that they remained concerned about the GOP’s opposition to federal funding for job training and education and other social programs. Paul said that he would support increases in federal spending for job training in urban communities that could be paid for with cuts to the costs of incarceration. “I think there would be money for job training if you greatly lessened criminal sentencing,” he said.

Rand Paul: Federal Oversight will help make police less discriminatory
Kimberly Jade Norwood, a professor of law and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, wondered whether federal dollars could be used – as a carrot or stick – to improve local police training “so that officers keep bullets in their guns a little bit longer.”
“I think he got it,” she said. Paul said he understands the desire by local residents to have the Justice Department issue consent degrees and exert control. “I think there’s a role for the federal government to step in when laws are discriminatory or when there’s police action that is, frankly, discriminatory,” he said.
He also expands on his Jobs Programs for Felons proposal with detail that makes it even more disturbing: Paul has been working to preach a version of small-government libertarianism that will have mass appeal. He explained that he supports increasing federal funding for job training programs but said it should be paid for with the savings from shorter prison sentences for non-violent drug offenders.
“If you have a guy who’s been in jail for seven years and you give him a one-year sentence and then give him a job-training program, it still cheaper than keeping him in jail for seven years,” he said. “There would be money for job training if you greatly lessened criminal sentencing.” What kind of people does he think are getting 7 year sentences?

It's a clever move. There are plenty of people on the right that scream "isolationist" whenever someone doesn't support a new conflict so it's good to see Paul call one of them out for advocating literal isolation.

Half the politicians in the Republican party are arm-in-arm with Obama and Feinstein on the NSA mass surveillance programs, even more supported Hillary Clinton's foreign policy despite grumbling about the execution. Rubio himself has a nice long speech at the Brookings Institution where he thanks that conservative stalwart Lieberman for his guidance and disparages people on the right so this talk of Paul aligning with leftists is just pouting. |

On a purely economic standpoint it makes sense. Florida officials have been brainstorming the opening of Cuba for more than 20 years.

Which as we know, does not track the party line on several issues. To suggest it's a leftist position is unfair. As far as Ferguson, Voter ID, etc. is concerned, it's clear Rand and/or his handlers are making a conscious effort to demonstrate his differences from the party at large and at least make a token effort to reach out to voting groups given up as lost permanently to the Democrat Party. We can argue the merits of doing that at risk of alienating the base. Politicians pander all the time. Rand is pandering, just to a voting block we don't expect. I actually don't care much about his Cuba statements, though he should have framed them more economically and dropped the naive notions. I agree it is consistent with his long standing foreign policy views so it is not a big surprise. His comments on Ferguson were unforgivable however. Like Obama and Holder, he only inadvertently or not gave credence to the absurd narratives surrounding these incidents and irresponsibly fed into this victim culture now so prevalent. Whether it was his ideological blindness or pandering doesn't matter, as it really makes me question this guy's judgement. If he is pandering, well it puts him in terrible company. |

Cory Booker of New Jersey, on a bill that would expunge records, under certain circumstances, of non-violent and youth related crimes. And, he's rubbing shoulders with Attorney General Eric Holder on sentencing reform as well as some Republican governors.
Paul also used his address in front of the National Urban League convention to make another pitch for expanding the voting rights of ex-cons. "Nationwide, five million people are prevented from voting because of their criminal record. It's the biggest impediment to voting in our country. I want more people to vote, not less," Paul said. He described himself as "a Republican who wants to restore a federal role for the government in the Voting Rights Act." So he advocates: 1) A California Prop 47 style 'expunging of criminal records' 2) Increased voting by felons. and 3) Restoring Federal oversight of elections under the VRA. out of

It is quite another for them to subsidize it." ~ Rand Paul~ And last but far from least; Rand Paul's Derp at the Urban League. http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/25/politics/paul-urban-league/ Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Rand Paul: Expand Jobs Programs by Reducing Sentences People at the [Ferguson] event said that they remained concerned about the GOP’s opposition to federal funding for job training and education and other social programs. Paul said that he would support increases in federal spending for job training in urban communities that could be paid for with cuts to the costs of incarceration. "I think there would be money for job training if you greatly lessened criminal sentencing,” he said. So Rand went to Saint Louis to meet with a conservative think tank and makes an off color statement that money would be better spent on these communities teaching people a skill, rather than incarcerating them for having too many pot needles, turns into: "Rand Paul went to Fergusson and met with Al Sharpton, all whilst plotting out a plan with democratic leadership of what to do to make big government reign!". Give me a fucking break. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2014/11/24/rand-pauls-mistake-courting-al-sharpton/ http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/20/politics/al-sharpton-rand-paul-meeting/ http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/141120104523-rand-paul-sharpton-meeting-story-top.png RINO: "Paul's spokeswoman said the meeting with Sharpton was "another example of Sen. Paul's willingness to work across the aisle to solve our nation's problems." http://c6.nrostatic.com/sites/default/files/Rev.%20Sharpton%20%26%20Senator%20Rand%20Paul%202.png "Anyone who thinks that race does not still, even if inadvertently, skew the application of criminal justice in this country is just not paying close enough attention. Our prisons are full of black and brown men and women who are serving inappropriately long and harsh sentences for non-violent mistakes in their youth. The militarization of our law enforcement is due to an unprecedented expansion of government power in this realm. It is one thing for federal officials to work in conjunction with local authorities to reduce or solve crime. It is quite another for them to subsidize it." ~ Rand Paul~ And last but far from least; Rand Paul's Derp at the Urban League. http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/25/politics/paul-urban-league/ I stand corrected. Still, he is right. The War on Poverty and the War on Drugs has had a major negative effect on the black community. It's foolish to ignore that.

These bashing Rand threads are becoming quite humorous. Topic starts out about Rubio's isolationist views on Cuba and gets derailed to "Rand questions police power and likes black people."

Paul calling out Rubio??....<sigh> this is like two retards fighting over the TV remote at the nuthouse.
Rand's finger is getting chapped from the constant wetting and exposure to breezes. Rubio is certified bi-polar: All for Amnesty (sorry..."pathway to citizenship") when it comes to illegals flooding the US, but Cubans remain sharkbait. |

Rand jumped the shark back at Ferguson, or maybe even a bit before that. Not sure what he's up to, but I don't care for it.
That being said, I don't give a rat's diseased ass one way or another about Cuba. Blow it up, invade it, blockade it or open trade and call them our long lost Brothers. Just...don't...care. None of it's going to matter one iota to stopping the decline of this country. It's just all smoke and mirrors to get us to take our eye off the ball, the destruction of the Constitution and the decline of our power.

I'm tired of RINOS like McCain and Rand Paul who say that they "reach across the aisle to solve our country's problems". Or who suck up to racist charlatan scumbags of the likes of Al Sharpton and Barack Obama for political gain. |

Damn fella get you head out of your butt, you will find no answers there.
Had the GOP any sense they would have normalized relations with Cuba in the W years and be able to take credit for it. The Halfrican is playing the GOP like a damn fiddle. Rand Paul simply has the good sense to see it as pretty much a non-issue (we support commie countries every day with our trade) while Rubio's pandering to his old-assed moneyed Cuban American supporters is plain for all to see. McCain and Company are just mad they will have one less country to rattle a sabre at. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Oh how shocking that useful idiot Rand once again jumps head first into naive leftist narratives. This guy is a joke.
http://cdn01.cdnwp.celebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/14/jennifer-lawrence-10.gif Rand is standing with Obama, in support of a policy the the Left has advocated for 50 years. This is undeniable. Do you disagree? Damn fella get you head out of your butt, you will find no answers there.

Actually, no. The topic here is from the headline on Drudge, and it is about Rand going after Rubio, and calling him an isolationist. |
