I heard Ms Rubin on Bill Bennett’s show yesterday. She was quite condescending in her tepid approval of Sen. Paul. If he’s not her “cup of tea” that only makes me like him more.

Rand is awesome. Anyone on these boards that disagrees is a moby or social con.

Umm I like Rand Paul and I happen to consider myself a social con. Why do you consider these things mutually exclusive?

I fail to see how. theperfecteconomist on February 20, 2013 at 5:25 PM

There is the (unfortunately not-unfounded) belief that an actual libertarian in power might lead to legalized pot, as well as pulling out of our various useless overseas interventions before the fiscal cliff hits. Obama made a promise for it but hey, you know him and promises. It took him this long to pull out of Afcrapistan when he could've done it the day he was elected to another wave of public approval.

The status quo under Obama can only get worse. Neither he nor his followers are physically or mentally capable of fixing anything, and his handlers don’t want to.

True. And Obama’s doing absolutely nothing when it comes to drug enforcement. One way or another, though, he’ll be gone in 2016, which is when I hope to see a stark improvement end up in the Oval Office.

I’d rather have neither, but I’ll take the status quo over someone who wants to worsen the situation. Stoic Patriot on February 20, 2013 at 5:05 PM

But for now, it all works for him.

.
First the build up, then the Pollyannaish, hair-on-fire, we are all going to die in the streets, headlines, and stories about how Paul will be the death of everything, even cockroaches if elected.
Like McCain was treated so long as he was attacking fellow Republicans.
Then he ran for President.
