Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, popular with conservatives and libertarians in the GOP, said Wednesday he is considering a presidential campaign in 2016 but will not make a decision before next year.

He won’t get my vote, although he would be popular in his native Europe. America says, “Nuke Iran. Support Israel.”

You are probably forgetting that the “base” nominated McCain and Romney in the last two go arounds. If anything, Rand Paul might have a hard time because he is too Libertarian conservative. That right there, along with his position on immigration (or, rather, amnesty) is the reason I will not vote for Rand Paul. Conservative? Not hardly.

The problem with Rand Paul is that every time he gets close to Dog Doo he has to stick his foot face in it. Just seemed more accurate.

Rand Paul said Wednesday he is considering a presidential campaign in 2016 Me too, and I probably have a better chance than he does.
