"Will he and the old man be arriving at the venue in black helicopters and will Jesse Ventura be the emcee at the announcement event? Or maybe it will be Reverend Al."

You nailed it!

Thanks lormand. No surprise that the National Review or the rest of the Demagogic Party isn't attacking him.

Audit the Head!

I suspect that Ted Cruz actually has a better chance of reaching these people than Rand Paul.

More African-Americans Support Carrying Legal Guns For Self-Defense


There are a couple of major points of agreement for Cruz to speak to them about. Guns, Gay Marriage, and Immigration.

Why doesn’t he run on Libertarian ticket? I guess I already knew honesty in politics was an oxymoron.

Paul isn’t so anti-establishment or unsupportive of it, he.

“Rand Paul to steer clear of Mississippi runoff”

“Rand Paul: It’s a ‘misnomer’ to say McConnell isn’t conservative”

“Rand Paul To Campaign for Romney”

March, 2013—”Rand Paul endorses Mitch McConnell in 2014 Senate race, won’t back tea party challenge”

why does he run in a republican primary anyway, do the liberal-tarians not have their own primary?

I trust Paul as far as I could throw him. He might be the druggie, the FOX workers, child molesters, homosexuals and the college kids, but that is about it.

He’s more left than most liberals on social issues and will flip flop over anything to get elected. Where was he on the religious freedom laws? no where again.

Paul will say anything to get elected and while he was a fresh face but now he has now shown what a flip flop, no clue idiot he is

There’s no way that Paul is getting the nomination. There’s no way that he’ll be the VP slot.

But he can pull a good number of Libertarians into voting for the eventual nominee. There are a lot of points where we agree with each other, and given the small number of Libertarians out there, and therefore a limited ability to impact let alone drive policy, Conservatives are in a safe position to agree to disagree on positions where we don’t.

he;s a media darling because he fits in right with them. Open borders,
reduced military
drugs legal
homosexuals agenda advances and notice how he kept quiet over the religious freedom law in IN?

He’s more liberal than most liberals and it is amazing there are still dopes though not all in the druggie stage who would vote for this buffoon.

My question too.
Do the liberal-tarians not have their own primaries?

Maybe but many liberal-tarians do not vote for the conservative and many care more about drugs, especially kids at college. Backs will vote still for the Dems especially when Paul talks about cutting their welfare.
Illegals like him because he’s for open borders.
He certainly will not get the military vote or vets because of the cuts he wants.
Religious types will not vote for him because he’s more left than liberals on social issues.

He’s a media darling because of what he stands for . Fox are having an orgasm over him which is why I have turned them off.

Some may be just drugged-out anti-cop paranoids, but many are probably just astroturf working for the never-ending Paul campaign.

agree, but Paul is his father but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Both Pauls are demagogues and DIABN (Democrats-in-a-but-name).

Freerepublic really needs a “Like” or “Agree” button. I’d push it in response to your post.

Just for you:
