Is Rand Paul A Radical?

[NOVALibertarian]

I can't support Rand until he introduces a law that would outlaw government. Until he does that, I just don't think we can trust him.

That would mean you don't trust RON either...

That said, Rand is an establishment thug. He just voted to attack Iran if they try to build a nuke...

Radical means he completely supports the nonaggression principle.

Rand is not a radical. He's not going to get the ball in the end zone.

But people like Rand, Ted Cruz, Gary Johnson (if he runs for something to which he can get elected) are our best opportunity right now to move the ball down the field for a while.

With his rhetoric, or his actions?

You don't even know what that means, clearly. Here, read this.

I do and I will be returning the neg rep soon enough.

Not even close...the closer we get to 2016 the more neo conish he becomes IMO

True. He's voted for war twice now? This is insane. Ron says sanctions are an act of war and Rand votes for it. Yes he's "better than most" in politics, but that's like saying Obama is better than Stalin, so we should be happy.

I may even come out and vote for that!

Gary Johnson is not going to run for anything. He likes to whine about not being part of the national debate all day and the lack of "socially liberal" libertarians, yet turns down every opportunity he gets to re-enter the national debate (Senate run). The guy's a moron.
