Did not expect Breitbart to hit us with a “Paul is racist” article.

Rand Paul is an appealing candidate to many conservatives. But he has a fatal libertarian streak on social issues that will make his candidacy in 2016 a non-starter for convictional conservatives.

Boom. Right from the gate this article is right on.

Is that a hairpiece on Rand Paul’s head?

“Liberty unrestrained by morality is just license”

That’s a great quote. I just googled it to see who said it. Apparently Brian Fischer said it.

Ted Cruz is good to go, if had something defamatory in his NSA file he’d already be crying in the corner in tandem with Boenher and sharing a bottle of scotch.

The ONLY way the Republican party can successfully challenge the 'zombie apocalypse of females for Hillary' is to run another female (Palin) OR a REALLY REALLY good looking male. Another other than that is a LOSE for the Republicans.

Any average looking man who so much as criticizes Hillary will be vilified as 'sexist' in the media, just as they are now vilified as 'racist' for criticizing 0bama.

A REALLY REALLY good looking man could steal female voters away from Hillary, since all they're really focused on is style (not substance), anyway. The other hopeful scenario is 'female vs. female' which negates any charges of 'sexism' in the media.

Sad, but this is today's America. Why do think the Dems run black candidates and then a female candidate? 'Protected class (blacks, Hispanics and females)' beats 'evil white guy' EVERY TIME.

[Article, quoting Rand Paul]
"I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues. ..."

In 1859, people who advocated stuff like this were called "doughfaces". The non-doughfaces ran the table, burned down South Carolina and Virginia, and won it all as decisively as a million dead people could avail to define "decisively". Anyone who'd opposed them was dead, in exile, in prison, or stripped of his civil rights by government decree, and essentially a prisoner in his own country. That's pretty "decisive".

Paul's pretty close to saying that conservatism has been defeated in detail .... without having any evidence for his claim.

Right from the gate this article is right on.

Other than that it walks right past both Pauls' gigantic deficiencies in foreign and defense policy.

The author gives us a phony, head-faking "concession" on the libertarianism on "social issues" (while muttering under his breath, "who cares about social issues already?!"), and then tries to sneak the other stuff past us, on his way to concluding that "Paul's gotta be the guy".

Paulbot bullsqueeze from the git.

[Art.] But Ted Cruz might be.

Can't comment candidly on this statement.

Say what? From the headline, to the opening sentence, to the conclusion...

“Bottom line: when it comes to 2016, Rand Paul is not the guy. But Ted Cruz might be.”

This is as anti-Paul as it gets.

I read that to be an encapsulation of what Ted Cruz thinks, not the writer's own POV. Guess you read that differently?

If someone could articulate constitutional conservative values, he (ie: Ted Cruz) could inspire voters to his side. The problem is that the RINOs would rather lose with someone who isn't a constutituional conservatve than to cede power in the Republican Party.

That's why we got McCain and Romney. They could pretend to be conservatives who shared our values, but they couldn't inspire anyone to change their vote since they didn't believe their own campaign rhetoric.

Cruz/Paul could win easily, and do it without RINO elitist backstabbers. Paul's Libertarian bent as VP might stir things up a bit, sure, but he'll be mostly busy dealing with privacy issues.
