Well, Mr. Paul, then your party can die.
It won’t be mourned or missed.
I’m not changing, and I’m not following you.
That is all.
When the foundation has gotten weak and crumbly, attempting moves that are too vigorous will hurt the foundation more than they will hurt what the moves are directed against.
America is in a woeful, woeful spot.
It will need to build up its spiritual strength again before it can hope to get a lot of the present hassles out of its hair. And this is a church mission, not a political mission.
Just this morning the pastor at my church (SBC in good standing) pointed out that now, missionaries are coming from abroad to evangelize in America. It only makes sense.
Rand Paul never sent money to McConnell?
Randie’s (Reinventing a New Direction) PAC donated, alright....
National Republican (RINO) Senatorial Cmte $15,000
Republican Party of South Carolina $5,000
Paul is much better than Ryan. I am for everyone who is for smaller government.
Wrong. Jeb is even worse than RP. I would never vote for either.
“No thanks. I’ll fight ‘em ‘til I die.”
No thanks to this?:
“My intention is to motivate all Americans and defend their rights.”
That is a good thing. You don’t have to compromise your principles to agree with it either.

Agree 100%.
It is said that one definition of insanity is to keep on doing the same thing and hoping the result will differ.
While this is not to impugn genuine perseverance on a path that is known to eventually bear fruit, it should also get us to think when we’ve been doing the same thing a long time and seemed to get nowhere.
Is something lacking in the picture?
You might kid about heartless, but could it be that heart is what is lacking? And yet not any old heart turned any old way. A specific heart invested in a specific Lord.
Give me Liberty or
Could Cruz pick up some “tricks” from Paul’s bag? It’s not a matter of treating some matters as unworthy, but as prioritizing them correctly.
Paul strikes me as cold here and that is quite the wrong tone. It immediately got Jim Rob bristling. I’d bristle too if I hadn’t already looked deeper at the actual thrust of Paul’s plans.
... or death. In fact loss of liberty, which comes from the life of God, is a death.
Paul’s tone is very bad here. As a statesman he’d flub. He wants to pick up the small government people, but at the expense of sounding callous about pressing issues. If he could explain why these issues can wait we might listen. But he’s talking down to us.
We are not shrinking because we need to “evolve.” We are shrinking because we can’t get our message out. That is precisely why Cruz is so loved. He gets the message out and is unapologetic in doing so.
The political message could be wonderful and unless people want to listen, it would get ignored.
Sorry Rand, there’s already enough friggin democrats here in California, please to go home.
I thought the CA GOP died because it had moved left
For a creationist he’s adopted an awfully Darwinian slant on things.
It could be clumsy verbiage, but it’s very understandable how this is going to rub conventional conservatives the wrong way.
Yeah he wants to motivate and defend the “rights” of the moderates, progressives, homosexualists, illegals and brainwashed youth he’s pandering to. For example, the moderates, progressives, homsosexualists, illegals and brainwashed youth think their “rights” include things like aborting babies, same-sex marriage, free condoms, snorting coke, illegally crossing the border, free healthcare, free education, etc, etc, etc. No thanks. I will not evolve, adapt or pander.
The message no jobs once they graduate, of massive student loan debt certainly would resonate with the young! The disaster of Obamacare alone will resonate with recent grads.
No need to sell out on social issues.
