His detractors are attempting to paint him as a
“Libertarian” in the worst sense. Yes, some Libertarians would legalize pot,
but not all. It is a harmful gateway drug for many.
Rand Paul is a Constitutional Conservative. That means he would govern and legislate in
compliance with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights (as written). All constitution bashers would oppose him.
Rand has accurately identified that the working poor, minorities
and union members have been abandoned by the Democrat Party and his brand of
populism is making a dent. Rand also
inherits his father’s following of Young Republicans.
Many Democrats are concerned about our financial
insolvency, the national debt and excessive government spending. They may move to Rand Paul’s column.
Most voters are sick to death of federal overspending,
meddling, screw-ups, lawlessness and abusive overreach.
Those voters who are receiving food stamps and a myriad
of other federal cash may be nervous about cutting federal spending, but I
think Rand Paul would focus on eliminating the abusive federal programs and not
touch the aid programs until jobs could lift them out of eligibility.
Rand Paul actually receives support from Ted Cruz, Marco
Rubio and Scott Walker’s campaigns. Each have their strengths. Each have
strayed or misspoken. But they are more similar to each other than they are
different from each other. Each of them
are targeting different groups to bring under the Republican tent for 2016.
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz score close to 100% Constitutional
on conservative websites. Their Scores on Conservative Review are at 95%. Marco
Rubio scores 80%.
