If we can get this man the nomination, He'll pull a lot of folks back into the party. |

Hope you're wrong. He's the best chance at beating whatever turd the Democrats pull out of their collectivist asses.

He has my vote. He's one of the few people up there who actually cares about freedom and the constitution yet still knows how to play the politics game when needed. Plus I think he can bring in a lot of voters that are outside the party line, like the young vote. His biggest obstacle is winning the republican nomination against all of the other RINO losers.

Take that fruit fly study money and use it to house congress critters before their trial for mis managing funds.

comes out purse swinging. Its in the title. Also the establishment and RINOS in charge will never let it happen. The president (sans jesus obama) has much less of an effect on the country as congress. We need to seriously not give two fucks about the presidential run and focus on outing turd like Boner, McCain, Grahm etc. who are the "establishment" and keep this shit going. Until they are gone nothing is going to change within the republican party.

Rand Paul is one of the few Republicans that I would be proud to vote for.

Nice to see him get back to what he is good at instead of dabbling in left wing lunacy. He will have to do a lot more of that to shed his bad image created by some of his recent derp. Regardless, I don't think people want another Senator getting the nomination. I don't see Rand or Cruz being all that competitive. We need to find a good Governor or someone with more executive experience. I still think Walker would be better than either of them.

The RINOs in charge would rather have Hillary or another Dem, they will cut campaign spending and do anything to help a Dem beat him

Paul is a non-starter. The dad so poisoned the name that Jeffery Dahmer would have a better chance of running for office.

That's cute, it was only 3 months ago he was on TV campaigning for Scott Brown in my state, lol.

You got peoPle who would sooner lite themselves on fire than back a single candidate .

The problem is not just getting him nominated, and elected, it what he does after he gets elected.
I liked the candidate Ronald Reagan, more than the elected Ronald Reagan. ...and he was my favorite president over the last 50 years. But at the end he failed to actually deliver on so much of what the candidate Ronald Reagan stood for and promoted. "The System" is broken. Whether it corrupts them once they get in office, or whether it's just impossible to halt the momentum of history, they almost never live up to their promise. |

He will never win. We're living in the American Idol generation - voters want someone that makes them "feel good" - yes, even Republican voters
Rand Paul isn't: Tall Charismatic Good looking Doesn't sugarcoat or answer questions to make people "feel good" Instead we will get another RINO on the ballot |

If you want to get elected by the majority of Americans, you have to dabble in a little left wing lunacy. That is one of Paul's strengths, he can bring over some center left and swing voters particularly the youth vote more than ANY other Republican candidate. He is the only Republican candidate who has actually tried to have conversations with minority groups. Hell, he went to Howard University and got a pretty good reaction from the crowd. When was the last time a Republican made a speach at a historically black college? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMIblb-oNE View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

That is not what we are criticizing him for. Pandering to radicals, racists, and inadvertantly or not legitimizing absurd false narratives is another thing entirely. |

Perhaps in 2020 or 2024 That's what many Hillary supporting Dems told Obama too. True. But, Obama was the kind of "Cinderella" candidate that the average liberal democrat voter secretly WANTED (to convince themselves of all sorts of naive things) - it was clearly a "style over substance" infatuation. I'm not sure such an unusual dynamic, would exist in the Republican Party for a candidate like Rand Paul. I see people trying to make logical and rational arguments for Rand, not idealistic and empty slogans, designed to fool the rubes ( and trigger white guilt ). So because of that, I think the conventional wisdom probably will apply in this case, even if it did not in Obama's Don't get me wrong, I think Rand Paul might have a decent chance of beating Hillary in the general - I just don't think he can get the nomination, |

He's pretty much the only Republican on the national stage that I would even consider voting for (Cruz is a phony and the rest of them are mostly worthless), but I don't expect he'll get the nomination. He'll be pushed out by the establishment just like every other Republican that actually believes in smaller government. The fix is already in.

Gerald Ford > Bob Dole > John McCain > now Chris Christie. Ain't gonna be no Rand Paul at this party.
