I watched the Rand Paul interview he got all the flak over. To be honest, Paul wasn’t saying anything outrageous and the interviewer was being condescending.
It is a legitimate point that the government doesn’t own your children. (BTW, I believe in immunizations, vaccines, etc. I grew up on the tail-end of the polio era.) If some parent doesn’t believe the vaccines are safe, then prove it to them rather than force them. JMHO.
Paul has been playing fast and loose with amnesty, the military, and other subjects trying to slice out some kind of middle ground.
That’s why I object to Paul. Let it fall where it falls, Paul. If you want amnesty, just say so. Then let us decide. Don’t try to finesse our ability to comprehend. It only turns us off.
I respect Giuliani. I’d never vote for him, but he was an honest, liberal-establishment Republican. He told you he supported this or that liberal position. Killed his chances, but at least he was honest.
That was the author "keeping it real" by blurting out his hair-on-fire bias.
Rand has some attractive qualities, imho, but he just seems all too untrustworthy on defense and foreign policy issues. And it is these that are among the most critical now that we (may hopefully) survive 8 full years of activist destruction of them by O.
In short, like his Daddy, Rand makes some good points but then sounds pretty flaky at other times. Sort of like, ‘say anything if it can generate a headline?’ There are other candidates we have a lot more confidence in...
There is no worse a politician than an honest man.
