I hope he runs. I would vote for him in a heart beat, even give him money, and if I lived in a state where he would be competitive, help his campaign.

During the upcoming April recess, it is speculated by many, the hints will turn into reality.
Rand Paul is one guy I don't want to ever see anywhere close to the White House!

Last election, Ron Paul is the only person I never remember being a front runner in the polls.

So while he wasnt treated fairly by any means, he also never hit the spot light others did.

Because keeping the liars with the same failed policies is really paying off right? Just think you'd have 4 years of playing the race card.

That's why I rarely bother to comment in the politics section anymore. People will stick with the status quo regardless of how miserable it is. 2008 and 2012 all over again.

Rand is the only candidate I will support. I was a big time supporter of his father and will support Rand as well.

You realize that Ron and Rand have virtually indistinguishable positions and ideology right? The difference is on they frame it and how the media frames them. Rand is just better at playing the game but his voting record is the most pro-liberty in the Congress.

As far as foreign aid, Ron wasn't too keen on sending aid to Israel while Rand is cut foreign spending but don't start with Israel.

I'll take Rand over Cruz any day. I want to see and hear from all the candidates before I comment but I'll likely vote for him if he wins candidacy.

Really? Cuz, it appears the apple did not fall far from the tree. Asking if Obama "could get any gayer", does not represent a guy who embraces equality or maturity.

I'm sure a lot of folks feel that is not an issue, but intolerance and immaturity seem pretty important to me in a president.
