Rand Paul 2016 - Join, or Die.

[VoluntaryAmerican]

Yes, another Rand Paul 2016 thread. Sorry. But I have come to the conclusion that Rand may just be our last hope and I see a lot of mixed feelings about Rand in this movement, some don't trust him or give him nearly enough credit for the things he's done so far.

Remember, everyday the police state is creeping in all around us, everyday it gets harder to breathe. Our money is becoming worthless, our children's future looks bleak. Tyrants and bureaucrats run rough shod over the American people and there isn't much fight left in them.

But Romney's loss presents us with a clear chance.

I don't like speaking for this movement as if my opinion matters, but I'm afraid if I don't speak up right now that we might not get another chance at this again.

We will restore Liberty to this nation.

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

I concur. This is ours for the taking.

 

[Travlyr]

+ rep Rand Paul and his message of liberty.

 

[fr33]

I'm on board (unless he starts casting a bunch of crazy votes)

 

[69360]

I don't have mixed feelings. Rand is just as good as his dad on issues with better presentation. As soon as there is work do or a place to donate I'm in.

 

[bill1971]

As long as the evangelists don't get their hands on him, ill back him.

 

[Okie RP fan]

I told people that they needed to let his endorsement play out and get off his case. I've also been critical of that endorsement because I thought it was completely unnecessary.

 

[FortuneCookie]

That endorsement still bothers me but he's by far the best out there. Will join.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

no-brainer

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

im on board as long as he votes 95% of the way he should vote. OR unless someone better comes along (there are some, but they dont have the name or seniority or popularity yet).

in politics, it is all about name recognition and jingles and emotions. it is quite sad that people vote for the person that they hear the most or vote for the person that has good hair/booty or vote for the person who had a nice slogan and etc etc.

i know there are probably people as principled and consistent as ron, but they don't have much presence on the media and etc etc.

 

[dskalkowski]

I'm so in.

 

[Aratus]

i think we may just might need a much bigger rand paul sub-forum... somehow

+Rep. It's time for the purists to realize that Rand is the best option we have in 2016.

 

[FunkBuddha]

Can we get this made into a bumper sticker? Something like "Rand Paul 2016" followed by "Republicans, Join or die"

 

[dannno]

Rand has by far the best shot for POTUS, though I think his dad would have had a better shot if they gave actually gave him one.. Rand won't be able to pull as much from the left, but he should be able to pull a massive hunk of the GOP that Ron had a hard time getting.

Great concept.. I'll work on this.

It's time for the purists to either lead, follow, or get out of the way.

That's a brilliant concept! We should hand them out at CPAC.

Unless the purists can find someone as pure as Ron Paul AND has the chance/popularity... Then there is no one else.

I am sure there are plenty of "Ron Paul's", but they don't have the popularity or familiarity with the public. Only recently do we have people in the senate and house that are for our cause, but they are still "young" and need to build their rep and experience up to have a chance. I doubt that can happen in the 3-4 year time span for 2016.

That is the only reason why we are looking at Rand. Rand might not be like Ron, but he is sure better than anyone the democrats or republicans can dig up. I am sure purists can agree to that.

Almost every democrat voter I've talked to over the years, liked Ron but I think it had alot to do with how Ron would criticize the GOP constantly, but when it came down to voting, they stuck with their party. Obviously the exception is Ron's supporters that were democrats before hand, but in the end it wasn't nearly enough to win primaries. On the other hand people on ther right as we all know had a very negative perception of Ron for his presentation of our ideology, and it is those people we need to actually win. Ron obviously was working towards building this movement and Rand is the second phase of progression. Just thinking out loud. LOL

Rand 2016 all the way!
