Rand Paul would do what is best for America and the American people, and not what the GOP establishment wants. I would love to see a Paul/Cruz ticket.
There will be attempts to derail a Rand Paul candidacy because he scares the "old guard" and they will discredit Ted Cruz for being a Tea Party Godly Christian.
Rubio and Bush don't impress me as much but neither did other losers like Romney, McCain or Dole.

so you are a Republican and calling Rubio and Bush losers, how about we all get together and support our choice, regardless who it happens to be. At this stage it appears any R candidate will be moderately conservative to truely conservative. I am a fiscal conserative and a social moderate, I do not want Cruz on the ticket anywhere. As for Paul as I have said, his personality might be his downfall.It makes little difference how we agree with his views. We are human and personality does play a huge part. BTW, Rubio is no, Dole, McCain or Romney.

I'm not a Republican and I'm not a Democrat... I'm a Constitutionalist.
Bush and his protege Rubio, are Progressives. There is nothing conservative about bigger government involvement. Dream Act and Common Core, along with agreeing with Obamacare.
and his story has to warm normal peoples heart. Family excapes communism and Cuba. Dad is a bar tender, mom a maid. What a story.
Since when are things like "personal stories" and personality good criteria to base your vote on? Those are very shallow reasons to vote for a man. They may even be more shallow than leftists voting for Obama because he is black or Hillary because she is a woman.
I find Paul's platform to be in good alignment with W PA Democrats who still think pulling the "D" lever gets them another JFK. Wether the media and party allow that message to get across remains to be seen.
I will continue to watch Rand, as he is the only R, that could get my vote. He is really driving me crazy with the flip flopping. I love that he wants to end foreign aid, and stop the incessant wars, but he seems to be doing the typical, moving to the right to appease his party. The problem is, when you move too far to the right, you lose Independents.
I tend to judge a parent by the behavior of their children.

William Paul has had two prior alcohol-related interactions with law enforcement, including a charged assault, the paper reported.
A black woman being bullied on-line for her support of Rand, posted this reply in rebuttal:
I am supposed to support the candidate who panders to minorities. I am supposed to support the candidate who places women above men in a misguided approach to equality. I am supposed to support the candidate who offers free contraception. I am supposed to support the candidate that speaks softly to me in idealistic sweet nothings, telling me only what I want to hear, thinking I am not smart enough to care about the state of our economy. But despite my color, gender, economic standing, sexual preference or any other imaginable category, I refuse to let the world define me by of what they see on the outside. That’s something progressives always insist on doing. I want no part of it.
Black Americans were once told we could not sit at the front of the bus or drink from whites only water fountains. Today we are often told that we do not possess the freedom of thought.
I choose to support the candidate who believes the federal government should have limited involvement in the economy, a strong but more reasonable national defense and who believes in leaving the powers not delegated to Washington to the people and the states respectively. I will not deny a party that has historically fought for my personhood, my right to vote, and my right to protect my life, liberty, and property.
