Seems like a very honest and reasonable man. If I were to vote again, he would be my choice for President.

Is his foreign policy like his dad's?

Sen. McLame doesn't seem to like him.

You only get to vote once.... 😳 😳

Not in Maryland.😁

We Paulbots were pretty excited when Rand got elected. But he's done a number of things that have pissed me off. He endorsed Romney before his dad had officially dropped out, and we were all hoping that he would endorse Gary Johnson and really "make a statement". He pretty much lost all credibility among Libertarians at that point. He also panders to his audience. If he's speaking to a Christian group, he talks in a religious manner, if he's speaking to a Libertarian group he speaks very Libertarian-ish, etc. Ron was Ron no matter who he was speaking to, even if that meant getting booed. Rand *so far* is showing himself to be a pretty typical, mostly spineless politician. He is also too willing to "play nice" with the GOP establishment, a practice that will get him nowhere. He should have learned this from watching his dad's political career, and if he hasn't figured it out since McInsane and Graham insulted him and every American who agrees with him on the domestic drone issue, he's a maroon. He also comes across as more socially conservative than his pop, and that ain't cool with me. Whereas Ron is a Libertarian with a bit of Republican, Rand is a Republican with a bit of Libertarian.

Not saying I *wouldn't* vote for him as President, but if I don't see some serious manning up and clarification of his views from him, it's not likely I would vote for him. His filibuster did redeem him a little bit in my eyes, though.

Rand has been crafty in furthering his career wheras his dad cared more about his position providing a platform for his message.

What's wrong with him? Glenn Beck likes him.

Better choice than 99% republicans.....yes.

Another politician sticking his finger in the air to test the wind direction.

"What's wrong with Rand Paul?"

I think he's OK. Prolly just had to pee. I think he talked for like 12 hours or something. Maybe he needed the overtime?:-s

"What's wrong with Rand Paul?"....his hair...WTF is that on top of his head?

You both fonny... lookin' LOL
Watchoo want, candidate with George Clooney perfect hair & a Larry King colostomy bag?

Borndead, no offense, but it sounds as though no candidate will ever measure up to your specific standards.
What are you looking for- a blend of Huey Long's down home populism & Vercingetorix's unwavering bravery at all costs against the power?

Either way, I can't say I blame you after so many years of disgust & disappointment with our politicians.


Yes, Jaime, he certainly appears better than 99% of both Repubs & Dems.

sounds to me like Ron meets Borndead's standards and Rand does not *shrug*

It's obvious then, that Borndead and the typical American voter are at opposite ends of the spectrum. There's no "perfect" candidate out there but Rand may be as close as there is to an electable one with higher standards than most.

Don't know much about the man.

His father's foreign policy ideas differed from mine in that he didn't seem to think that Iran was a threat & that Israel was no different than it's neighbors.

Iran isn't a threat and Israel is no different than its neighbors!

Eventually the USA will run out of soldiers and borrowed money and will no longer be able to start or participate in all the wars on the planet. That will be a very sad day for the military-industrial complex.

hummana hummana hummana

Just because you think you have a God-given mission to kill people, it still costs money to do so.

You know, Tom. The more I think about it, the less I care. That's a shame. We share a religious culture with Israel.
Iran I couldn't care less about- I never thought we should have butted in with their war against Iraq.
But to be honest, it's survival of the fittest (or whom you know) over here. Hard to get excited over "what if" scenarios any more when you're scrambling to put food on the table & pay your folks...

sometimes I do the chickendance just to make myself feel a little better about things

Double up on your handiwipes & the chickendances will be a thing of the past.👍

I do not get it...... I'm sure it's funny and makes perfect sense though

That's ok. Sit down and try not to strain. Chicken dancing IS fun.

now THAT I understand.

I just bought my mom an Easter present. It is a sock monkey dressed like a chicken that does the chicken dance if you press it's hand. It is great fun. I hope she makes it to my house for Easter. I'll make her pancakes with an image of you know who on them.
