Don’t worry, I’m very unenthused about Rand Paul’s 1850’s style approach to foreign policy.

Maybe his toupee was on too tight and he couldn’t maneuver his hands to come together. /s

He’s not going anywhere anyways.

He would be ill advised to give up his US Senate seat.

Ditto with Rubio.

Scott Walker has emerged as the one who take out JB.

The US sent Commodore Perry to force open Japan during the 1850s. If Rand was around then he would decry that move.

Yeah, you just have to wonder what they were smoking at CPAC giving him the nod.

I saw him. He was an embarrassment with his light patting of palms. His disgust of the message was palpable.

Forget about his weak applause, he didn’t even stand up when all around him was giving Bibi a standing O.

Ron Paul, Ron Paul...is there any difference? NADA! They are both emus with their heads stuck int he sand. Their foreign policy would work back in 1492, maybe, but America has had to be on guard since our declaration of independence. They’d have never gone to war for independence. I guess there is something to be said about letting us all become slaves to some foreign country...and one wonders....if they’d been in the WH before the Civil war....whether they’d have gone to war to free the slaves. Libertarianism is not much different that Marxism, as long as they keep it a small government model.

I thought the same thing. I can’t believe he won the CPAC poll. Someone here on FR referred to him as “Rancid Paul”. Loved that!

The Pauls often do well in straw polls. Their tiny cadre is very dedicated. They never win primaries.

I agree... but I wish that the national review wouldn’t contribute to the dumbing down of America and had used the word unenthusiastic.
