GOP - Rand Paul's Presidential Highlight Reel w/ his Libertarian Twist

[Chef Ramsay]

Rand Paul: Democrats Taking African-American Vote ‘For Granted’

In a video clip you won’t see anywhere else, Sen. Rand Paul tells a group of pastors that the Democrat Party is taking African-American voters for granted.

“There’s an eagerness for someone to meet with them,” Paul, R-Ky., said. “The Democrats have completely taken this whole body of voters for granted.”

When talking about a recent trip to the scene of riots in Ferguson, Mo., Paul says many African-Americans told him how, “They hadn’t seen their Democrat congressman in six years.”

And Paul has a message for the GOP regarding how to get people off welfare.

“If we’re the party that doesn’t want everyone to be on welfare forever, let’s be the party that lets you expunge your records so you can get a job again,” Paul said. “It’s hard to get a job if you have a criminal record but many of these are youthful offense, that it wasn’t a violent crime committed. We can reintegrate these people back in.”

Historically, the GOP has been the abolitionist party and the democrats have been the party of the slave owners, tho granted those were different times. But for all intents and purposes, these points are relevant now to flip the script on the dem ignorers/users of the black population by and large. Only Rand is seeking to and making an effort at making the downtrodden's lives easier and more hopeful. If you don't know how much effort he's exerted to helping inner city folks, then do your homework.

Its good to see Rand Paul taking this position and saying these words about how the Democrats are indeed taking it for granted. That was a very smart statement. If the GOP can get the attention of younger people, and minorities, they will guaranteed win the election, and probably much more for years to come.

CBS Poll: Rand moving up as a voting possibility among GOP voters

Texas Senator Ted Cruz has undergone the biggest change since last month (interviews were being conducted for the poll when he announced his candidacy): 37 percent of Republicans would now consider voting for him, last month only 23 percent said so. Senator Rand Paul has gained 9 points since last month; now, 39 percent would consider voting for him, up from 30 percent in February.

Just wait til Rand gets his announcement bump next week. We all need to "rally round the family" and never let down, folks. Bitcoin=Liberty=Thriving=Rand Paul. Time to get serious my legions! All the details of the poll...http://www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-who-would-americans-consider-voting-for-in-2016/

When it gets farther along and Rand is climbing in the polls then you will see the MSM lapdogs attack him and they will pull out all stops to discredit him. They want that lying bitch Billary in the White House. After what she did with her email server she should be in prison.

No doubt about it on the media tip. I'm sure his team will develop strategy for this and so far, they've been able to lay traps for other candidates to Rand's benefit in the aftermath. He's got some of the best people in the business working for him and these heavyweights cast large shadows. But let's face it, all of the candidates get scrutinized. I'm more optimistic in Rand as a candidate than his dad, all things considered. Ron was the professor that taught a growing classroom in this nation and now most of them have 'graduated' over the last 4-8 years while the nation and the GOP has been through certain transitions as well. Rand is trying to appeal to all which isn't easy to do and that will be his biggest hurdle. Appealing to establishment republicans and keeping your base fully intact is no small feat since libertarians are very fickle and always looking over their shoulders. For as smart as many of them think they are, they are poor at strategizing since not adhering totally to a certain lingo gets the sellout talk.

Rand Paul finds way to champion Iowa ethanol

It looks like presidential hopeful Rand Paul has found a clever way to champion ethanol, with an issue that's in harmony with his keep-government-out-of-the-marketplace mentality.

Paul, a Republican U.S. senator from Kentucky, has teamed up with Iowa's popular U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, to introduce the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act.

Ethanol industry backers say the bill would grant relief from a regulatory quirk that's thwarting free market sales of E15, fuel that's 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline.

Why Rand Paul stands out

(CNN)Sen. Rand Paul, who is expected to announce on April 7 that he will be running for the presidency, is garnering a great deal of attention as he travels around the country promoting his brand of libertarian conservatism.

The Kentucky senator's widely publicized appearance this month at the South by Southwest festival at Austin, Texas, was one opportunity he used to appeal to a tech-savvy audience. His particular blend of ideas -- a combination of libertarianism and Republican conservatism -- stands out from the rest of the pack. Younger Republicans, the much-desired millennial vote, seem attracted by what they are hearing.

What accounts for his appeal? In an era when so many Americans seem frustrated with shallow, personality-based politics, there seems to be genuine interest in a candidate who is fighting for a set of ideas. For many disaffected younger Republicans, Paul offers a version of the conservative agenda that seems foreign to the modern GOP.

For almost half a century, "big government conservatism" has ruled the party. Although conservatism is theoretically about limited government, the historical reality has been much different. On national defense, the hawks of the GOP have been victorious. ..

Rand Paul Has J.C. Watts in His Corner

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/04/03/rand-paul-has-j-c-watts-in-his-corner/

When Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky kicks off his campaign for president on Tuesday, one of the people who will endorse him and share the stage is former Representative J.C. Watts, one of the few black Republicans to have served in Congress.

Mr. Watts is expected to be a vocal surrogate for Mr. Paul, who has made clear he is trying to show he can broaden the Republican Party’s base to newer voters.

“Senator Paul has shown what I have always believed, a leader can be a strong economic and social conservative and yet be concerned about the least of these,” Mr. Watts, who retired from Congress in January 2003, said in a statement.

Mr. Watts, a college quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners before serving in the House from that state, has lamented before that Mr. Paul is one of the few members of the Republican Party trying to reach out to voters who have traditionally not been part of the base.

Ready for Hillary?  J. C. Watts is ready to block and tackle that lying old plutocrat!

Rand Paul Pros and Cons by Chuck Baldwin

Pros:

*He is his father’s son

In my opinion, Ron Paul is the greatest U.S. congressman in our country’s history. While we have had several outstanding U.S. House members, no one can match Ron’s incredible record. Without a doubt, Ron Paul is the U.S. House of Representatives’ most preeminent champion of liberty. And you know the old saying: the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I believe that is certainly true with Ron’s son, Rand.

And you can believe that establishment Republicans in Washington, D.C., believe that, too. As soon as Rand announced his candidacy, neocons such as Senator Lindsey Graham began their attacks against him. Graham went so far as to say that Rand Paul’s foreign policy is worse than Hillary Clinton’s. (That’s because Graham and Clinton are both warmongers, and Rand isn’t.) Rest assured, the GOP establishment will spend the entire primary season trying to make sure that Rand Paul does not receive the Republican nomination.

*Rand’s foreign policy

This is where Rand Paul shines. Like his dad, Rand believes in a constitutional foreign policy. He is opposed to America’s foreign wars of aggression. He is opposed to America’s preemptive war doctrine instituted by G.W. Bush. He is opposed to the Warfare State and all of the entangling alliances that go along with it. In fact, Rand Paul is the ONLY candidate for President from either the Republican or Democrat party that would probably make any significant change in America’s foreign policy.

And quite frankly, the office of President is mostly defined by foreign policy, and in this regard, Rand is probably the only candidate that would be willing to defy the war-mad neocons and bring America’s founding principles back to our State Department and DOD. Ted Cruz won’t do it; Ben Carson won’t do it; Scott Walker won’t do it; Marco Rubio won’t do it; Mike Huckabee won’t do it; Mike Pence won’t do it; Rick Santorum won’t do it; Chris Christie won’t do it; Jeb Bush won’t do it; Hillary Clinton won’t do it; and neither will Martin O’Malley. In reality, when it comes to foreign policy, there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Except for Rand Paul, that is. Rand is the ONLY presidential candidate who would potentially restore a constitutional foreign policy to the United States.

*Rand Paul is solid on the Bill of Rights and the right to life

Rand Paul is solid on the right to life and the Second Amendment. But unlike the rest of the presidential candidates, Rand is also solid on the rest of the Bill of Rights. In the name of the “war on terror,” politicians from both parties in Washington, D.C., have mostly eviscerated the Bill of Rights. For all intents and purposes, the Fourth through Tenth Amendments are mere words on paper. Both Republican and Democrat congresses have gutted them to the point that they are unrecognizable from their original intent. Rand Paul is the only presidential candidate who gives more than lip service to the Bill of Rights.

Accordingly, Rand Paul is the only presidential candidate that would probably use the power of the office to alleviate, or perhaps even dismantle, the burgeoning Police State in this country. This is another reason why Lindsey Graham and other neocons in Washington, D.C., hate Rand Paul.

*Rand is the Republican who has the best chance of winning the general election in 2016

Rand’s popularity will come from just about every quarter, except the Washington establishment. He will pull support from not only conservative, Tea Party, and patriot groups, but also from libertarians, independents, college-age and young Americans, and anti-war Democrats.

An MSN report notes, “Paul's speeches and media coverage have helped him break out of the Republican field. In very early trial heats of the presidential race, Paul regularly gets closer to Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee, than his so-called establishment rivals. In a March poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, Paul tied Clinton in Pennsylvania, a state no Democratic candidate for president has lost since 1988.”

I'll leave the cons at...http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/3306/Rand-Paul-Pros-And-Cons.aspx

It's a pretty objective contrast and this writer is a preacher that has known the Paul family for quite a while so I think this is a fair analysis.

[Chef Ramsay]

Here's an online poll that anyone can vote for their candidate of choice. Back in the pre-season of the '08 primary elections, we used to game these online polls to show that Ron Paul had a lot of grassroots support to generate a buzz and media attention for him and this was kinda fun at the same time cause it irritated the supporters of other candidates that were told that Ron was such a terrible candidate for prez. Anyways, I'll periodically post these polls just so people around here can participate if they want. I won't post obscure website polls, just the more mainstream ones that will get some attention. Also, I won't link it cause I don't want the poll's operators accusing anyone of gaming it as in leaving an online trail if ya know what I mean.

Tech Wars: Rand Paul Digital Strategist Trolls Team Rubio After Website Crashes

As Sen. Marco Rubio announced his run for president last night — asking voters to visit marcorubio.com — his digital team was frantically trying to keep the website up.

In the tech world, it’s a critical mistake, calling into question the viability of a candidate’s digital strategy, especially for a candidate who claims to be running a campaign for the future.

The digital train wreck was too much for Rand Paul’s digital strategist to resist, tweeting out a screenshot of the website failure.

Paul needs to attack Billary on all fronts. Do not back down. She should be in prison. If the media will not rake her over the coals and ask the tough questions then he has to be even more fierce.

The shills have already started attacking him in social media and as his popularity grows more negative attacks and shilling will come out of the woodwork.

He is not one of the bought and paid for candidates. In fact I think he is the only who is legit who is also popular.

Rand Paul Is Republicans' Best Hope to Beat Hillary

Hillary Clinton, to no one's surprise, announced Sunday that she's running for president. Barring catastrophe, she'll become the Democratic nominee next summer. There is no such clarity on the Republican side, with a new candidate official entering the race every week. But this much is clear: If the GOP want to defeat Clinton next fall, they should turn to the only Republican whose buzz rivals hers: Rand Paul.

The Republican Party is at a crossroads. Its base, bolstered by big-tent conservatism throughout the 1980s and late 2000s, is aware of its own image problem: The “Party of No” is on the losing side in the battle for marriage equality, has failed to convince Americans that it has a clearer plan for healthcare reform, and remains tacitly pro-war when the population is interested in a U.S. withdrawal from foreign intervention. Worse yet, its base is aging and isn't being replaced by younger voters. Libertarianism, however, is on the rise nationally, with 22 percent of eligible voters identifying with the movement in recent polling. Enter Rand Paul, heir apparent to the movement, who pointedly said during in an interview with the Associated Press, “Young people aren't so wedded to party. The kids are probably adrift somewhat. I don't think someone who is an authoritarian, or comes from a much more authoritarian point of view like Hillary Clinton, will attract them.” A fresh brand of libertarian-infused conservatism could be the way forward for Republicans looking to woo the youth vote, and Paul sees himself as the person who can provide it.


Rand might be right. While Clinton has overwhelming support from Millennials who grew up under her husband’s administration, the growth of libertarian ideology among young voters may peel away some of Hillary’s reliable supporters, swayed by Paul’s “leave-me-alone-coalition” of voters, reluctance toward the use of military force abroad, support of medical marijuana legislation, his platform position on criminal justice reform, and his sometimes-unpolished appearance in interviews and stump speeches that connote a sense of “realness” that is uncommon in GOP candidates.Paul gains headlines for what he’s not: a non-threatening Republican with a cadre of platform stances that are nearer to obsolescence than relatability. His brand of digestible libertarianism is made for the post-Obama generation. Hillary, on the other hand, is likely seen as a successor of Obama’s administration; she is the torch-bearer that Vice President Joe Biden would be, were he cut out for the presidency. Young voters who came of age during Obama’s two exciting campaigns may find Hillary to be a less magnetic choice compared Paul—if he finds traction with any Republican voters willing to compromise the beliefs of the base for the betterment of the party.

But therein lies the rub. Rand may be the candidate that Republicans need, but not the one they want. He is a dove in a party of hawks; a pro-marijuana legalization advocate in a party that only tacitly embraces reform. He’s a young, vibrant speaker whom Millennials actually listen to (even if he needs to be trained not to lash out at reporters). He doesn't espouse the conservative boilerplate of his competitors, so he may not stand a chance in Iowa, where his father’s campaign took devastating blows in 2012, or in the GOP primary generally. And yet, polls suggest he would stand a chance against Hillary in the general election. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Paul leads Clinton in both Iowa and Colorado while a national surveys place him only seven points behind Hillary. Paul leads Clinton in current Iowa polling by two to three percentage points. He leads Clinton on head-to-head polls in Colorado as well, a crucial state during both Obama campaigns.
