LOL. I have not gotten that from the mods and do not promote anyone, but simply discussing other candidates I am getting buried in neg reps, PM's and told to F myself. It has become like a religious cult with these pathetic lunatics. Even just raising this issue look at William Tell's and Gold Standards replies, what a douche way to respond.

To sign on to their group think you have to trash the policies of other candidates even if the policy is similar to the Pauls. An intellectual detailed discussion on policy of candidates is now completely out of the question here. You must compare other candidates to Hitler and the anti-christ. You must support black lives matter, open borders, paying to import immigrants and put them on our welfare rolls. If you do not support that you are racist Socialist Trump supporter which makes no sense.

The forum is a shell of what it used to be, mainly overrun by a bunch of Progressive activists, foreigners and the mentally ill.

I don't like Rand Paul's positions either. I'm just hoping he is lying to try to sell the big government, police state crowd like you to his side. If Gilmore was out there running on Rand's platform and had Rand's record, it would be better than everyone else, but not good enough to make me vote. To me, it's almost like this vote is a favor to Ron Paul. After this, I probably won't vote again. It means nothing to me, and certainly does nothing to help.

I was going to say since when have Rand or I advocated the police state or big government but I am guessing than entire post is sarcasm, right???
 
All these polls are doing is confirming my belief that modern polling techniques are insufficient to accurately measure support in a field of this size. The margin of error is too large compared to the numbers for many of the candidates. The numbers for those over 10% are probably somewhat accurate and the rest are probably not accurate at all.

It's a signal-to-noise ratio problem. How can one say a candidate has 2% support with a 3% margin of error and be confident in the number?
 
Rand's campaign manager should be fired! In this day and age, there is very little excuse for not getting a message out. I hardly ever hear anything FROM Rand.

Why is he not doing Google + Q & As? I know that Trump "commands" a lot of media attention..... But Rand's silence is deafening on many issues.

I think that Rand is going to have a hard time recovering from endorsing McConnell. That is one thing that he should address. If McConnell lied to him to get his endorsement, that should be talked about too. Silence doesn't do anyone any favors.
