Title: Rand Paul plans heavy summer travel, foreign-policy speech Post by: Chef Ramsay on June 08, 2014, 12:34:11 AM Quote By MIKE ALLEN | 6/7/14 1:57 PM EDT Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is helping open a “GOP engagement office” on Saturday in an African-American area of Louisville, part of a frenetic summer schedule aimed at reaching beyond the party’s traditional base, with explicit appeals to minorities and young people. In late summer or early fall, Paul plans a major foreign policy address that will give him a prime chance to close a gap with establishment Republicans that has been perhaps the biggest hurdle to acceptance of Paul by party elites. The itinerary will bolster the widespread view among Republican leaders that Paul is doing the most visible spadework of the party’s potential presidential candidates. As a sign of his advanced planning, the senator told AP that he would consider running for reelection and president at the same time, and that a Kentucky ballot law against dual candidacies would not be an obstacle. Paul, who has traveled to 30 states in the past 12 months (including three trips to the early-presidential-voting South Carolina), showed his flair for unlikely venues by drawing a standing ovation in Berkeley in March. “I think there are a lot of issues,” Paul told POLITICO in an interview, “from economic development to schools, to criminal justice, that there’s a message that a lot of us are talking about that, if people can embrace it with an open mind, will really, frankly, say, ‘What have the Democrats done for me lately?’” Next weekend, Paul will be one of several 2016 hopefuls who will address a summit organized by Mitt Romney in Park City, Utah. At the end of July, the senator will speak to the annual Urban League National Conference in Cincinnati. From Aug. 16 to 21, he’ll do pro bono eye surgeries in Guatemala.

Can't wait to max out to his Presidential run like I did for his old man. 8) Keep your powder dry and growing, yall.

Given the USA centric viewpoint of a lot of posters here, can we assume this affects the USA and oil holding nations only?

Given the USA centric viewpoint of a lot of posters here, can we assume this affects the USA and oil holding nations only? A Rand Paul election would have far reaching effects well beyond the US and oil producing nations. A less predatory and aggressive US is good for everyone. Reigning in the drones and the NSA is good for everyone. A return to the constitutional principles of small government is good for everyone.

I think if the fed were actually audited we would have another revolution. Hopefully a peaceful one this time around. Title: Re: Rand Paul plans heavy summer travel, foreign-policy speech Post by: Chef Ramsay on June 09, 2014, 05:54:09 PM I'm really interested to hear what he's going to put out to offer his realist foreign policy to the republican establishment voters and donors. Then, watch the reaction from some of his father's puritan supporters who are so doctrinaire in their adherence to the NAP code that if you fart wrong it could be labeled assault. :-\ Unlike any other candidate on either side, Rand really has to thread the needle in a bulletproof fashion cause there could be blowback from any angle. The worst being, giving the MainStream Media (aka the Lefty cheerleading team) anything that can be used for demagoguery purposes.
