Anybody with the least bit of sanity knows Mauer is a nutjob.

I can't stand Maher, Stewart, all of them. Their jokes are not funny and CLEARLY biased against right winged groups. Some of the stuff they say is also very stupid and is not taking the entire thing into perspective.
I am for reporting both sides of the story but people like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart are just stupid and report nonsense.

A little too early for polling. Winner might not be in the race yet.

Dude, Walker has been heavily promoted by the establishment media to siphon conservative support from Paul and Cruz. Look at his fiscal record as Governor and you'll that spending went up year after year. That's the litmus test for a conservative republican vs your standard Romney/Bush type. That makes Walker an establishment type candidate but thrown into muddy the waters while being backed up by the likes of Fox News.

Paul opposes granting Obama fast-track trade authority

Frustrated by being required to find his way to a private “dungeon” to read the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, Rand Paul said Monday he is a “no vote” on a provision to allow President Obama to complete the deal on a fast track.

The Republican presidential candidate said in an interview in Manchester he will vote against granting Obama trade promotion authority, which limits Congress to only up or down votes on trade deals. A vote on “TPA” is expected as early as Tuesday on the Senate floor.

The Kentucky senator spent part of the day in New Hampshire before heading back to Washington for a late afternoon vote.

He held a town hall at the Londonderry Lions Club, an event that was at least partially overshadowed by a top New Hampshire staffer licking the camera lens of a pro-Democratic video tracker. The video of David Chesley quickly went viral on social media.

Paul told WMUR.com the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement “is being held under lock and key” by the Obama administration “because they’re afraid that if the public knows what we are going to vote on, that somehow that would destroy the republic.”

Members of Congress must go to office of the U.S. Trade Representative to see a copy of the agreement, but are not allowed to take notes, make copies or bring any members of their staffs.

“I’ve told leadership I’m a ‘no’ vote” on trade promotion authority, Paul said. “I’m hesitant to give blanket authority on stuff we haven’t seen. I’m not saying there wouldn’t be a time I could be for it, if I’d seen the trade agreement, and it’s fine,” Paul said.

“I still might vote for the trade agreement, but I hate giving up power. We give up so much power from Congress to the presidency, and with them being so secretive on the treaty, it just concerns me what’s in the treaty,” he said.

He's also the man that took his state from near bankruptcy to a surplus in the budget. He didn't get scared off by the union thugs and billions of dollars from out of state to have him recalled. It would be nice to have a STRONG leader that stands up for what's best no matter the repercussions to his personal career. That's a real man/leader. That's why he has my support (should he decide to run).

A surplus in the budget means taxes are too high. Refund them.

The same can be said for my Gov Snider that had over a billion dollars in a surplus, and while there was some responsible cuts, overall there's been a major pension tax increase that (raised lots of money) many retirees despise and for good reason. Furthermore, this surplus just vanished somehow and then they sicced us w/ a ballot initiative to raise the sales tax 16% which we just murdered. My point is that Walker (because of his good record dealing w/ the teacher unions like Christie) is being used by the insider money to throw him into this race because he is perceived as a good conservative yet he still has the same foreign and civil liberty policies as Bush and thus is initially stealing polling %s/supporters and money from other anti-establishment candidates like Paul and Cruz to a lesser extent.

Rand Paul takes a hard path.  So many of the government insiders will all be against him.

Correct but
http://i60.tinypic.com/i4gysh.jpg
We'll see how thoughtful u r. Rand is the good guy on this point and doing quite a lot to see that justice is done.

I dont say he is a bad guy.  I will vote for him actually.

But I think he will have hard time with the "insiders" seems like they stick together.

Sen. Rand Paul Visits Secret Room To Read Obamatrade, Calls For Public Release Of Deal Text

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)—an opponent of the secretive Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track the Pacific Rim trade deal Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)—went inside the secret room inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday morning to read the TPP text and told Breitbart News exclusively afterwards that he believes President Barack Obama should make it public now.

The deal’s text is kept in a room behind double doors that each have signs: “No Public Or Media Beyond This Point.”

“It’s done like you’re going in to read a classified briefing though it’s not actually ‘classified.’ It’s called ‘confidential,’” Paul said in an interview with Breitbart News outside the room after reading it. Paul and his legal staff spent about 45 minutes in the room reading the deal’s text.
...
When asked for some of the details that are inside the TPP agreement, Paul said he’s not allowed to tell us that. But he did say the secret trade deal that his Kentucky colleague, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), wants to rush through the Senate is about 800 pages long. He added he plans to seek additional information from the U.S. Trade Representative’s office—including a briefing from them—and suspects that the text he read isn’t even the final version of the deal.

“I think I am not supposed to reveal the details of it, but I can tell you it was about 800 pages long,” Paul said.

"I think while we’ve gotten at least some headway in understanding what’s in it, I think it raises more questions that will require more research to fully understand what’s in it. We’re going to pursue that with someone from the U.S. Trade Representative—we’re going to pursue more information from them. Some of the questions are whether we’re seeing the final agreement or this is in the interim agreement before the final agreement. That’s a question we still have. I have a feeling that what we’re seeing is a work product, not a final."
...
Paul said he thinks the secretive process makes it look like the government has “something to hide” and that he thinks if Obama opened up the process it’d make it easier for several Senators—and the American people—to truly understand what it is they’re voting on.
...
Paul, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, stands alongside most of the rest of the field in opposition to Obamatrade. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina compared the secretive process to Obamacare’s passage in the early days of this president’s administration. Dr. Ben Carson also called for more transparency, as did Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is concerned with the deal’s impacts on American workers.

On the other side, Sens. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are in favor of the deal—even though it’s unclear if either has, like Paul now has, visited the secret room to read the text. Both could. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry are also in favor of the deal, but wouldn’t be allowed through the doors to read it.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the emerging conservative kingmaker and the leading intellectual conservative in Congress, has made an identical call to what Paul has for more transparency from the Obama administration.

Sessions, in a “critical alert” his office issued publicly and to other members on Capitol Hill before the recently-failed votes to begin debate on TPA fast track authority, listed out five “questions the White House will not answer.”

Rand Paul Appears on The Situation Room w/ Wolf Blitzer - May 13, 2015
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fauPLtXLgRY
Rand talks about how ousting dictators gives rise to radical islam and then mentions how polls in some blue states have him edging out Hillary, something that is rarely mentioned. He needs to drive this point in every interview because no news outlet is going to do it for him.

[Chef Ramsay]

Fox News excludes Rand in head to head polling against Hillary Clinton

It's on page 20. They polled just about every other Republican verses Clinton, including candidates who aren't polling high at all such as Fiorina and John Kasich. This is outrageous but to be expected. Rand did the best against Hillary in their poll last time, so they had to exclude him this time. We're just going to have to expect more of this throughout the entire campaign.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2015/05/13/fox-news-polls-huckabee-seen-as-more-ethical-than-most-clintons-favorable-slips/

I saw the segment earlier on Fox's Special Report w/ Bret Baier and the hatchet job was to show Rand polling at 7% because Carson just got his post announcement bump which much of his support is transferable to and from Rand. They either didn't poll Rand against Hillary which doesn't make sense, so instead they found out what normally happens (Rand polls highest against Hillary than any other republican) and decided they wouldn't include it in the news segment so they could only show Bush eeking Hillary out rather than Rand too. Very dirty.

Interview: Rand Paul tees off on Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio

Rand Paul ramped up his criticism of Jeb Bush’s remarks on Iraq, rebuking the former Florida governor Wednesday for an “incredibly fumbled answer” over the 2003 military invasion. He then took a swing at Marco Rubio for being on the “wrong side of history” by supporting foreign aid.

“If any Republican nominee wants to run on the idea that borrowing money and printing it up and sending it to foreign countries that often hate us and burn our flag and think it’s a good idea, feel free to run on that issue,” Paul said in an interview with POLITICO. “But it’s not really popular with the people.”

With foreign policy beginning to dominate the GOP race for the White House, the Kentucky Republican is taking a more aggressive line, hoping to raise questions over the judgment of his rivals at a time when many voters are uncertain about his anti-interventionist views.

Despite accusations from some in the party establishment that Paul is an isolationist, the 52-year-old senator is betting that rank-and-file GOP voters will widely endorse his calls for a smaller U.S. footprint worldwide. And he’s weighing whether to make an even bigger splash next week by attempting to mount a talking filibuster to prevent Congress from extending the controversial PATRIOT Act, a key priority for leading GOP hawks.

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Rand Paul Versus Ted Cruz on the Fourth Amendment

A decision last week about NSA spying by a panel of judges on the United States Court of Appeals in New York City sent shock waves through the government. The court ruled that a section of the Patriot Act that is due to expire at the end of this month and on which the government has relied as a basis for its bulk acquisition of telephone data in the past 14 years does not authorize that acquisition. This may sound like legal mumbo jumbo, but it goes to the heart of the relationship between the people and their government in a free society. Here is the backstory and the latest.

The Patriot Act is the centerpiece of the federal government's false claims that by surrendering our personal liberties to it, it can somehow keep us safe. The liberty-for-safety offer has been around for millennia and was poignant at the time of the founding of the American republic. The Framers addressed it in the Constitution itself, where they recognized the primacy of the right to privacy and insured against its violation by the government by intentionally forcing it to jump through some difficult hoops before it can capture our thoughts, words, or private behavior.
