rand paul is the same white who said businesses should be able to ban blacks if they want because its there private property and wanted to get rid of the civil rights act, right?
Yea, it's always evil white guy versus, poor black guy!
How come it's never the evil black business owner denies service to the poor white guy. Do No black people own businesses?
Anyway, that's not at all what was said. Paul is against the government telling private business owners how to run their business. That's all! But of course, the race baiters run like hell with it!
By the way, I was actually denied service at a black owned convinence store in Ft Myers, on Palm beach Blvd. Crackers get discriminated against too!
So you 2 like Rand Paul because he said Barack Obama should have done everything he promised ????
i agree then, lets see Rand Paul run in the 2016 Primaries on those same things since he says here that he agrees with them.
Some of the main points i agree with in that video.
"require congress to read the bills they vote on."
"require balanced budget by law"
-comments about both republicans and democrats to come together on the debt ceiling
and my favorite
"we can't afford to bomb schools and bridges and rebuild them"
Rand Paul had some traction, but of late he is trying way too hard to appeal to the religious wing and the neo con wing of the republican party. A lot of folks liked his stance against these never ending wars, but since he has been getting heat from Cruz, he is backpedaling. Also this weekend he is laying it on thick at the value voters summit, as he used a video of a fetal ultrasound as his introduction. I really believe he could pull a lot of independents like me, he normally sounds sensible, but this far move to the right is a turnoff.

Not exactly.
Rand Paul stated that he would have tried to "modify" the law's ban on racial discrimination by private businesses.
Paul's stance is quite close to the Libertarian position, ...
"If some private business discriminates we think that's unfortunate, but we don't think the government should get involved in banning it," said the spokesman, Wes Benedict. "That's just a negative that we have to tolerate in a free society."
Walter Block, a libertarian professor of economics at Loyola University, and a senior fellow with the libertarian Ludwig Von Mises Institute, went further. "I think anyone who doesn't believe that isn't a libertarian," he said, calling Paul's comment "a very mainstream libertarianism."
"I'm delighted that Rand Paul said that," an enthusiastic Block added. "I think it's magnificent. I didn't realize that he was that good."
