If Rand get his head screwed on straight about “Immigration” and cuts out the anti-Semite and Isolationist crap then I would back him.

Yup, that’s a deal breaker around these parts.

He would probably be somewhat better than someone like say, gingrich, who has about as much respect for the constitution as a high school quarterback has for his drunk prom date.

I say no to ANYONE announcing a run for President more than 1 year in advance.

You know, there are some things I like about Rand. What bothers me is that all too many people I am tempted to support, have no problem at all selling us out on one issue or another.

Politicians, if you support anything even remotely resembling amnesty and or other rewards for sneaking across our borders, you have just labeled yourself an anti-American.

Sorry Rand. I can’t support anti-Americans.

I disagree with Rand on immigration but other than that he is out to try to restore the constitutional republic and dismantal the police state which I am more concerned with than gay marriage, pot or anything else at the moment. He is the only guy who can actually name govt agencies he could bear to close and do away with.

If we don’t get the Fed govt under control and soon we will be in an all out counter revolution. I will be necessary but it will not be pretty.

No use pulling out of one ditch just to steer straight into another.

Not in my books and in my case, I have to sign on to the GOP candidate due to my position with the party but I can't imagine supporting this or any candidate standing for any form of Amnesty nor further gun grabbing laws.

No grass roots support for either, in fact, just the opposite!

How about we focus on TAKING BACK the senate in 2014???? The 2016 election is a waste of time at this point.
