Not sure if it was intended, but thanks for the candor. Rand Paul is Ron Paul, but he hides it behind his rhetoric and lies about who he is inside.
He will always be a loser in the presidential realm if what you indicate is true.

Rand should contest ’16. But he’ll lose. Thats ok. Hes trying to nuance his statements between the GOP base and the Paulians. Why do I think he’ll lose the primaries in ’16? The second he states any of his pappys foreign policy, the GOP primary opponents will beat him with that stick till he crashes out. By ’20 or ’24, he’ll beef up his resume, and be formidable in his skills. He’ll know when and where to take the nuance between the GOP base and the Paulians, and its limitations. In a word, formidable.

It’s fair until Rand Paul openly and definitively rejects his father’s crackpot ideas and supporters.

I know. That whole “government is the problem” and “fiscal responsibility” is just crazy. I mean, does Ron Paul actually think that we should mind our own freaking business? That’s just crazy talk. Oh and how about his belief that countries such as South Korea should be required to secure their own borders – nut job! How dare Ron Paul believe that we shouldn’t redistribute our wealth via foreign aid and military aid. Just crazy, him and that Constitution, not to mention individual liberty, should just go away.

At which point you’d whine that he wasn’t doing so often and/or loudly enough.

It’s not fair to blame him for the sins of his father, but that won’t stop the media or Paul’s political opponents.

If you think idesign is an establishment Republican supporter, you are looney.

I was referring to “the guy who was pushing Rubio”, i.e. Lewis, not idesign, whom I wouldn’t know from Adam.

Isn’t this the guy who was pushing Rubio?

Ah, concern trolling from establishment Republicans: always good for a laugh.

Run, Rand, run!
