I don’t dislike Rand Paul. He’s had a pretty decent record to date, and I do rather enjoy the heartburn he gives the loathesome cretins of the GOP-E, whom I’ve grown to so intensely despise. But I have the idea that were he in the presidential race, and officially making his stances clear, he’d be revealed too libertarian for my tastes. In other words... pro-amnesty, pro-dope, and pro-fag marriage. And at that point, I could not give him my vote.
I dont have a problem with Rand Paul being the candidate and saying ignorant things about immigration.
My problem is it will split the primary vote and also some people won’t turn out. If he has nothing useful to say he should not talk about the issue. Walker and Jindal will pretend they are not for amnesty even though they are probably more liberal than Paul on most issues.
Peter King could end up getting a few votes from people who think t hey are voting for Steve King.
