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

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.

CPAC are full of Libertarians..Ive talked to a few Libertarians, they are anti Israel, maybe not all of them are but the ones Ive spoken to are

The PaulBots are like Scientologists. They always come out in force for their guy at every straw poll on the planet, but can’t muster up more than a few percent of the vote in the actual election.

The CPAC straw poll has been less than useless for years now. We know that Jeb bussed in people (not that it did him any good); and, Rand Paul, like his father before him, has a following of rabid young people with a strong libertarian outlook. So, you may be right, these guys would be the ones smokin something.

I had thought that maybe Rand Paul was a little more thoughtful than Ron Paul about foreign affairs; but, I listened to him one day, not so long ago, and realized the old truism that the fruit didn't fall far from the tree was accurate in this case.

They probably heard he supported Witch McConnell for reelection, you know the McConnell who famously promised to “...crush the Tea Party...” Two “winners,” both from the great basketball state of Kentucky....
