[Video] Rand Paul on Fox News Special Report w/ Bret Baier 3/6/15

I feel like every time FOX interviews him they go out of their way to make him give a clear answer on issues which they know his answer is likely to piss off the FOX base
 
Some notes:

-He said judge him on his voting record. Oh, how I wish Libertarians would actually do this. Stop looking at rhetoric. Look at the damn record. His record proves his libertarian streak.

-He's becoming more comfortable with calling himself a libertarian conservative. Good to know.


Honestly, I'm getting sick of the whole you have to pay for tax cuts rhetoric. It's ridiculously annoying. I'm also happy he's optimistic. I'm incredibly pessimistic about aggressive change.
 
The left is going crazy over Rand's remark that gay marriage "offends" him. Even though he basically took the libertarian position in the interview that the government shouldn't be involved in marriage. That's what it sounded like to me anyway.
 
Yo people are actually getting mad about him saying gay marriage offends him, but he didn't take a position to regulate, limit or inhibit voluntary actions............

Except that he didn't actually say that gay marriage offends him. He said it should be a contract and what offends him is calling it "marriage". Subtle difference, but he was not saying that gay people offend him, or that their partnerships offend him.
 
thank you for the Rand Paul, abolish the IRS ad.
I had not seen it and have now forwarded it to some neo-con friends.

and that, is a very shrewd response. we all can use that one. (I know I am. :))

I think you're right, but of course the left will always distort and mischaracterize what he says.

I am disappointed that he used the word "offend" which will alienate a lot of gay people. He could have been rather more diplomatic, I feel.
