Grand slam speech by Rand Paul at CPAC today...

[crapstang]

Everybody screams and cries he's impossible to be elected...that's really gonna help better get a fake up in thurrr

[CJ]

You pick your candidate, and we pick ours. Deal with it.



The ONLY reason I will vote for another nominee is because Justice Ginsburg will retire in 2013 and we need a conservative Judge on the high court; but that doesn't mean I want to. I still don't think it'll matter.

By all means, let's vote for the moderates. McCain was SO close last time.

I'm voting for a conservative. Quit getting so butt hurt over your failed nominee (for the 3rd time). I'm just sick of it, every damn election he loses, and you start this whiny woe is me bullshit. McCain was and still is a liberal republican. Just like Romney. That is why he lost.

Yeah great strategy, pick the guy who got his ass handed to him in the last 2 elections.

[Slowhand]

Will you Ron Paul nut huggers just stop this shit. He isn't getting elected, deal with it.

I have no problem with Rand Paul at all, I respect him quite a bit.

Ron Paul wasn't my preferred candidate, but alright then.

Still not sure if serious about the second line there.

I like rand Paul. I listen to his thoughts/statements regularly.

[Slowhand]

I like rand Paul. I listen to his thoughts/statements regularly.

His ideas, in general, are just a more smoothly delivered version of his father's.

[Denny]

Jeez, I hear most whining coming from people who dislike Paul rather than like him. LMAO!

I might be as nutty as Paul, but at least I'm not a crying, sandy vagina. Holy shit!

And that is why we'll lose again.

I personally think the republican party, the guys who run the party that is, want to lose this election and then let Obama own the train wreck that will occur. They know they can't stop the train before it hits the edge of the cliff and don't want to be left at the wheel as it goes over. They can then show Obama was fully at fault. The bad thing is that the train is already at the edge and it will go over on 11/9 just hours after Obama is re-elected. If obama is re-elected, I predict a crash of massive proportions as the remaining smart americans pull their money out of the stock market in preparation for "The Even Bigger Depression".

lololol, i can't believe i glossed over this the first time. Let me get this right because, if i understand it correctly, it's a swiss fucking watch. Your claim is that McCain lost to a liberal because he was a liberal? And your solution is someone more "conservative"? I'm confused, because outside of the GOP, I don't know of any conservative independents that would say that they didn't vote for McCain because he was too liberal.

The deciding issue in '08 was the independent vote, and it will be so again in '12. Independents are clamoring for someone to vote for that isn't Obama, and the GOP refuses to give them a reason to. Instead, we've received Gingrich (the neo-con turned green activist turned big government neo-con), Romney (the big government liberal turned big government republican), and Santorum, whose name is hardly worth discussing. Conservative independents are going to vote GOP for the most part; it's the more liberal independents willing to vote GOP to get Obama out of office that the GOP is ignoring and going to miss out on, and that's what's going to lose this election. Not the GOP candidate being too liberal (lol).

Not to mention that Republicans have built their rhetoric for 2012 upon "anyone but Obama"; if that's the case, what does it matter that the Republican candidate is a liberal republican?

[jw33]

The GOP is setup to blow it big time in the general election vs Obama. Turn out is down or flat in most places and the guy with virtually all the military votes and the under 40 crowd has been treated like a red headed step child with AIDS because he doesn't have great hair. Aggie97 is onto something.
