Hes a stupid pro-illegal isolationist.
My gosh you’re stupid. [eom]
RAND PAUL: DEMS SCARED I WILL RUN LEFT OF 'HAWK' HILLARY
Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said in the 2016 Presidential election he would be able to attract independents and "even some Democrats" voters nervous about entering into a new Middle East war with a "gung-ho" President Hillary Clinton.
Paul said I think the American public is coming more and more to where I am and that those people, like Hillary Clinton, whoshe fought her own war, 'Hillarys war,' you know?"
"And I think thats what scares the Democrats the most: Is that in a general election, were I to run, theres going to be a lot of independents and even some Democrats who say, You know what? We are tired of war. Were worried that Hillary Clinton will get us involved in another Middle Eastern war because shes so gung-ho," he added.
If you want to see a transformational election in our country, let the Democrats put forward a war hawk like Hillary Clinton, and youll see a transformation like youve never seen," the Kentucky junior senator concluded.
At one time he was a political operative for the Libertarian party, but following his father;s lead, he is now in the GOP and calls himself a “libertarian republican”.
“Im a libertarian Republican.”
What ARE you talking about?
(eom)?
Have you suddenly gone fanboi for Rand Paul here?
Im a libertarian Republican.
"libertarian republican", or "libertarian Republican"? They're not interchangeable.
What do you think he is?
I’m not convinced Rand Paul is firm enough on immigration to leave us a country for him to be isolationist about.
How will knowing that answer the question of whether he's describing himself as "republican" or "Republican"?
Since you won’t say what you think he is, what do you hope he is?
Doesn't matter. I'm not playing this bullshit game with you. You obviously aren't going to answer the question, so there's no point in wasting time on it.
It wasn’t me posting to you to play games.
You provided the quote. Do you know if he was describing himself as "republican" or "Republican"? If you don't know, say so.
I’m just sick of this spamming of every thread that mentions Paul. It’s not discussion, it’s just bad faith slimming.
You don’t seem interested in what he is, or even in what you think he is, you don’t have an opinion, yet you are so angry, strange stuff.
If I wasn't interested I wouldn't have asked for clarification of the ambiguous statements posted, one saying he described himself as "libertarian republican", and then another saying it was "libertarian Republican".
I do understand the tactics of answering questions with questions to put people on the defensive, looking for some opening to attack. Getting "angry" is counter productive. Let your emotions get out in front, and they'll lead you right down that rabbit hole.
Rand Paul is a libertarian.
