WTF are leftwingers even responding??? We know you won't vote for him. :doh:
You know he's a R.I.N.O. don't you?
He's not a true republican, he is a teabagger.

He is a wackjob. All the crazies like him. What does that have to do with MSNBC (and whatever heroes dwell there) or Fox?
Paul, the latter, is not a true republican, once people understand that, they'll be better informed. In the truest sense of the word, he is a R.I.N.O. because he doesn't have views consistent with the republican party, his views are more to the right of most republicans, more extremist.
Sure he is... find what he said about the civil rights act, he's a jewel when comes to those.Interesting you post a pic of a xenophobe when, in reality, Rand is pretty moderate compared to most Repubs on immigration.
Rand Paul: GOP needs to
Rand Paul: Jeb Bush could have been ‘more artful’ with immigration comment
The GOPs are all over the place on dozens of issues right now.
And the establishment GOPs like Boehner call traitors like Snowden "traitors", who Rand Paulites defend .
Really?
He's more to the right than the Republican base on gay marriage?
He's more to the right than the Republican base on immigration?
He's more to the right on drug laws?
He's more to the right on our military spending?
He's more to the right on security issues?

That's not true. Not all the crazies like him, because leftwingers don't. :mrgreen:
One man's traitor is another man's whistleblower.

We realize the first amendment is in the eyes of the beholders !
Especially Putin's ongoing traitor .
Thank you for admitting all that. But the one issue which will simply kill him and all the ticket under him is when he steps up to explain his opposition to civil rights laws. America will simply not stand for that and he will quickly and accurately be tagged as a type of racist who is simply fifty years out of time. And that will destroy him and his ticket.
Which is why he will never get the GOP nomination no matter how much I would like to see him imitate the captain of the TITANIC.
I also don't believe he will receive the GOP nomination, at least anytime soon.
The CRA comment will definitely draw continued attention and criticism. It was a dumb comment to make because such an opinion on such a sensitive topic can be easily misinterpreted. Of course, every politician makes at least one dumb comment, and most (like Paul) are able to carry on.
You are being silly. Russia was not Snowden's first choice for asylum. He was unable to leave because the US govt would have picked him up immediately if he did. Ever heard that old expression, "between a rock and a hard place?"
Except that the Paul comment about civil rights laws would become front and center in his campaign starting the day after the convention selects him. Before I retired I gave political advice for a living (after my teaching career) and my advice to anybody running against Rand Paul would be to hammer that again and again and again day after day after day after day and paint him as a person badly out of time and very bad fit for 2016 America and its diverse population.
Let him try the same nuanced arguments we have seen on the internet on sites just like this which pretty much boil down to 'yes my position sounds racist and is not liked by other races and would negatively impact other races besides white folks-but really folks and I am not a racist'. Let him try that in a national campaign with 15 second sound bites and see what it garners him besides the worlds largest headache until election day where he makes Barry Goldwater look like a winner by comparison.
Again - I would love to see him as the nominee because it would sink his party all over the nation with the exception of a small handful of states. But we all know the people who run the GOP are simply not that stupid nor do they have a death wish.
