He was 19 years old at the time of the assault.

Ron was a congressman from 76-84, he quite as he was upset with Reagan running a deficit. He returned to Congress in 96 and retired in 2013.

24 years in total.. he’s 77 and before then was a medical doctor running his own practice and before that he was in the Air Force.

“President Bush with Obama was a very poor decision on Rand’s part”

Tell me how they’re different. In fact, show me one area where they differ on anything.

They're both gay for muslims so that isn't it.

I said that he was nineteen at the time of the assault on a flight attendant. That’s old enough to know better, unless you’d like to argue that because he was drunk and assaulted a flight attendant that his behaviour should be discounted.

Rand does seem to have the carrot and stick confused.

What has the actions of Rand’s teen son got to do with ANYTHING?

It’s time for thinking people to move away from Paul before they get branded lunitics...as did the followers of Ron Paul...aka paulistas.

On the contrary. It’s time for people to embrace him and his budget that cuts the Federal government in half.

1. President Bush isn't a marxist.

2. President Bush is a Christian.

3. President Bush doesn't support homosexual marriage.

4. President Bush doesn't support allowing the UN precedence over the Constitution.

5. President Bush didn't support the enemies of this country.

6. President Bush loves this country.

7. President Bush is not a racist.

That's just off the top of my head.

I didn’t bring up the issue. I was merely disagreeing with your response.

Bush and the UN, are you joking? He invaded Iraq on the basis of a UN resolution !!!

Doesn’t support enemies of America: like Obama he gave them plenty of money- I mean “foreign aid”

The 9/11 hijackers also got visa’s courtesy of the State department and they overstayed them, didn’t they?

Um, that argument doesn’t resonate much with me, considering I could easily done without both Bush and Obama having political careers.

Ditto that. And may I also add, could have done w/o Bill Clinton too.

President Bush didn't invade on the basis of a UN resolution. He determined that invading Iraq would require world wide support from our allies, and realized that UN support was instrumental in achieving that support.

The UN did exactly what he wanted them to do.

Your reasoning is not conservative, nor is in pro-American.

While it is no secret that GWB was a big boozer in his youth, it has been rumored that he also had an appetite for cocaine. We will never know. He admits to a recovery of sorts.

It is not conservative to use the pretense of a UN resolution to invade another country that had never attacked America.

In fact, it was a huge mistake that has cost the GOP ever since and guess who opposed it from day one? Yes, that wacko Ron Paul and his son no doubt as well.

You're right. Ron Paul is a whacko and it appears that his son is following along behind him.

I'll take President Bush over Obama any day. Rand made a huge mistake with this equation.

To say that Rand Paul’s analysis is faulty is an understatement. It SHOULD matter that a presidential candidate was a drug user whether or not it was illegal activity. Ted Kennedy KILLED somebody for God’s sake does Rand Paul think evading a criminal charge is the biggest issue?

Either drug use should be illegal or not, the argument it could have ruined Obama or Bush’s political career is elitist noise.
