One side wants it for all people. Another side doesn't.
If Paul does that, and if he delivers the message clearly, it will be a major step forward for freedom. With the right messenger, we could put the racist politics of the 1852-2012 Democrats behind us - finally.
Good Old Howard.
I remember back in 68 when they burned one of our fire trucks up there.
Agree. I wish him much success.
When Sen Paul goes to here: http://www.brandeis.edu/ then I will be impressed.
I think that's the ticket, though it's going to be a tough sell. That there are no solutions for "the black community" or the "latino community", etc., but a single set of solutions for the benefit of everyone.
Message to Rand:
Ignore the advice of the GOP establishment, ignore the “groups” and speak to the people.
The GOP is trying to piece together a coalition of groups. That is a losing game, the dems already have it down pat. The way to fight them is to speak directly to the hearts of individuals, like Reagan did, an let them know that they aren’t seen as a nameless segment of a group, but as a living, breathing, loving, laughing, struggling, individual human being.
The GOP is just TOO stupid to understand the dignity of that approach.
I am sure he will brush over the parts about cutting spending and getting rid of departments and privatizing SS and medicare, all the stuff they will boo him for.
Jack Kemp claimed his happy face talk would get get him minority votes, that ‘capital gains tax cuts’ would make them all rich. In practice it didnt get him any in 1996.
Lost cause.......
Freedom is a tough sell....hell, you can’t even give it away.................
” The Kentucky Republicans appearance echoes the recommendations made in the Republican National Committees autopsy report, detailing why the party lost the 2012 election... “
If you want to know why we need an “autopsy report”, just look at the RNC.
Exactly! Don't go wandering into the mushy swamp of grievances. Stay with first principals, the right to life(abortion in the black community), liberty(not a plantation with rations for the slaves), the pursuit of happiness(not a handout to keep you happy). Stay with eternal truths. Don't PANDER!
To talk to those individuals, it is easiest to go where they group.
In Rand Paul black individuals will find a President who actually wants to end the counterproductive War on Drugs.
They don’t want “freedom”. They already have it, and can’t handle it. They want to be taken care of. They also want stuff.
Freedom is an easy sell. It’s the responsibility that comes with it that some communities want no part of.
There is a difference between speaking to a group of individuals, and speaking to individuals as a group.
I am advocating for the former.
