No,..it's just that I have no confidence in the SCOTUS.

Chief Justice Roberts could have stopped Obamacare cold.

He didn't.

There's no reason to look to the SCOTUS for any type of conservative relief any longer.

It's just a nursing home.

That fire is never-ending.

The issue that confronts the US is the well that has been used to sprinkle it is nearly tapped.

Let it burn and divert the water closer to home.

Consider the supporters of Paul on this site and your post becomes a profundity... BTW, I am on record as stating I would vote for (actually AGAINST ANY democrat) Paul if he was the candidate, but those same cheerleaders fail to grasp that concept...


The concept that you fail to grasp is that Romney supporters caused Obamanation's reelection. The liberal press, including Fox News, knew that Romney had zero chance of whipping Obamanation, which is why it duped the gullible in to nominating him.

You haven't learned a thing from the '12 election. Conservatives will not support another neocon/RINO. If the Republican Party nominates a neocon/RINO, Hillary waltzes into the Oval office, not that there's a difference between Democrats and neocons. Both support gun control. Both want a one-world-government thus destroying Ameican sovereignty.

Our neocon/liberal foreign policy of intervention is destroying America and enslaving us. There is nothing in any of our Founding Documents about some nebulous ideal of democratizing the world. Governmental constructs of other countries are none of our effing business. There was a reason why our Founding Fathers admonished us to stay the he!l outta other countries internal affairs. There was a reason way congress made President Washington's Neutrality Act federal law.

If Rand Paul ain't the nominee, who cares who loses for America will lose. We're BK now and neocons want to fight more foreign wars that are none of our effing business and of absolutely no threat to the USA. Neocons & liberals are insane for doing the same thing over & over while expecting a different outcome.

During the '12 election, other Republican presidential candidates, the Republican Party, and Fox News would have rather had Obamanation reelected than Ron Paul elected. I expect that all three will do the same with Rand.

However, if he wins the nomination, I'll have no other choice. I'm not staying home and I;m not voting for a Dem.


Since you're a neocon, I'd bet that you'd fear that the sky'll fall were we to revert to our Founding Fathers and conservatives' policy of nonintervention.

Tell me why you think a neocon in the White House will be better than a Democrat. They agree on every substantive policy including socialized medicine.

I have confidence the SCOTUS is not going away and will be impactful in the coming elections. The leaning of their membership is critical.

The Roberts issue is an interesting one. It may not be anything more than his true beliefs, or it may be something that history will have a hayday with. I hope we know sooner than later.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Roberts said it was a tax. Which means it can be voted on without a 2/3 majority.

But he would NOT be my first choice for Republican Presidential nominee.

I would, even though he's not quite his father. Now as regards Bush, Rubio, Ryan, or any of the other neocons who've tossed their hats in the ring, there's question whether I would vote for them in the general. I've gone Third Party before (e.g., 1992, 1996, and 2000), and may well do so again if Rand isn't the nominee.

If the GOP selects Rand Paul, it keeps all of the votes that any other candidate would get plus it gets to add those voters who won't vote for any other GOP candidate.

It's just arithmetic.

In the general election Rand will get everybody who is going to vote Republican regardless of who the GOP candidate is, he'll get the libertarian voters (who won't vote for any other GOP candidate) plus, he'll get a big chunk of the swing vote. (probably more than any other GOP candidate)

I'm not a huge fan of Rand Paul. He plays politics a bit more than I like. But in a general election setting, he can pull more votes than any other GOP candidate out there.

So,...do you want Rand,...or are you ready for 8 more years of Democrats?
Exactly.

If everybody likes him, he won't have any problem getting elected. I think a better question would be...

Who here isn't sending money to Rand Paul?

As I've mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of Rand Paul. I don't think he can save the country. On the other hand, I don't think he'll further injure the country. Most of the candidates outside of Rand want to continue to draw a hard line in the Middle East, including Hillary.

Many Republican voters also are fans of more war in the Middle East. They can come up with all kinds of rationalizations for it, but when you boil it down, it's just that they like America to show force through war. The particulars aren't important to them.

Many in the Democrat camp will overlook Hillary's warmongering ways in order to put a woman in office. Bengrazi has shown the level of her expertise in such matters,...not good.

The current condition of Iraq shows the level of expertise, concerning war, that the GOP warmongers have demonstrated,...not good either.

The national debt is out of control and the wars in the Middle East keep pushing the debt higher.

To keep the country from deteriorating even more, America's participation in the Middle East wars must be ended and a *lot* of emphasis must be placed on the economy and the strength of the dollar.

The damage is very extensive already and we will probably never get back to where we were. But if somebody doesn't genuinely change the course of this country, and very damn soon, the whole thing is going to flip flop

I'd like to see that put off as long as possible.

The election will be decided in the GOP primary.

Rand has a chance to win the general election because of the libertarian vote and the swing vote.

Nobody else in the GOP can get the libertarian vote or as much of the swing vote as Rand.

It's as simple as that.

Rand has a chance,..the others don't.

With headlines such as “Rand moves to the left of Hillary” on foreign affairs, Rand is going nowhere in the GOP primaries.

The current path has to change direction, quickly. I fully agree w/ Bristoe's point-Rand could draw enough of the 'on-the-fencers' to get the win. Will the NEOCONS let it happen? Very doubtful.
