Only two on my list. Cruz and Paul. Too bad Paul is falling down on Obamacare.
Great, we’ll have to endure ANOTHER election of whiny Paulbots!
I was thinking the same....
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
Same here. He’s on my short list.
I wasn’t at Mackinac this year, but that’s usually an establishment crowd, not a Paulite crowd or a tea party crowd. The fact that he won says that people are tired of neoconservative Bush policies.
