Namutree Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I liked John Huntsman too. Oh well; I'd rather have Rand Paul anyway. "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

Shallow Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 I liked John Huntsman too. Oh well; I'd rather have Rand Paul anyway. Eh, Ron Paul 2016, Rand Paul just isn't as good, he's probably the best choice available, but I'm afraid he'd just lick the boots of the evangelical whackjobs who are just as bad as the worst democrats. Shame we'll never see Ron Paul as president, then again, the presidency really isn't that powerful, especially when held by someone who doesn't believe in utilizing most of the tools it has available. Shame we'll never see hundreds of Ron Paul clones take every congress seat.
Valsuelm Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Rand is definitely not his father, however he's probably the best there is on capital hill right now (that's how bad things are), and the only one of the so far possible presidential contenders that might actually earn my vote. There's no indication however that he's going to 'lick the boots of evangelical whackjobs', nor do such people have remotely as much power as you and many others seem to think. Not much more power than the boogie man brigade really. Also, Huntsman supported Israel, the unconstitutional and frankly evil individual mandate that everyone buys insurance, believes in 'global warmi' errrrr..... 'climate change', and endorsed Mitt Romney. He was a sh*t candidate. Edited November 29, 2014 by Valsuelm
Mr. Magniloquent Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I was always very cautious without how I regard Rand Paul because of his hawkish tendencies. When he "came out" by "happily endorsing" Mitt Romney, he showed that in the end--he was bought and paid for. How cheaply, nobody knows. The price doesn't matter though. He espoused support for a State-worshiping, thoughtless, talentless, self-aggrandizing, Fascist. The only thing good about Rand Paul's endorsement is that it removed all doubt about what he actually is made of. 1
Guard Dog Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 There is an old saying "Don't ever let the perfect become the enemy of the good". Of all the Republicans he is the most libertarian of the lot. And any Republican is preferable to any democrat. At least of any democrat likely to be nominated.

Mr. Magniloquent Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I was logging out when I saw your statement. Name 5 meaningful ways Obama is different than Bush. Blue vs. Red is a false dichotomy that compose your left and right shackles. The only way to win is not to play.
