Topic: GOP - Rand Paul's Presidential Highlight Reel w/ his Libertarian Twist - page 45. (Read 205816 times)

I heard this too many times. Most of them were linked on Rand's facebook page but they are true and the polls are done by 3rd parties. Re-reading over the article it says that they are the odds that gamblers are gambling on, not actually polls from real people.

I heard recently that polls were showing Rand beating Hillary in several swing states, and at least one or two that are "usually blue"/ democratic party victories. I don't have a link now though.

Rand Paul, DHS chief tangle on encryption

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_auHdE89qQ

Republican presidential hopeful Rand Paul tangled with a top Obama administration official Wednesday on the matter of protecting data privacy through encryption.

The Kentucky senator questioned Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on the bulk collection of phone records, and argued that consumers’ desire for encryption is a response to government surveillance.

“The real culprit is government,” Paul said during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.

“You’ve been so overzealous vacuuming up our records without a legitimate warrant … [Encryption] is a response to a government that didn’t have a real sense of decency toward privacy.”

Paul also criticized the government for surveillance during the civil rights era, which he described as a cautionary tale.

"Look at the time the government wasn’t so good. The FBI director recently pointed back and talked about the times that Martin Luther King was spied upon. That's why we want these procedural protections," he said.

Rand Paul: Baltimore Violence Is About 'Lack Of Fathers' And Morals

Presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) weighed in on the turmoil in Baltimore on Tuesday, standing with police and blaming the violence on a lack of morals in America.

"I came through the train on Baltimore (sic) last night, I'm glad the train didn't stop," he said, laughing, during an interview with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham.

Railing against what he repeatedly called "thuggery and thievery" in the streets of Baltimore, Paul told Ingraham that talking about "root causes" was not appropriate in the middle of a riot.

"The police have to do what they have to do, and I am very sympathetic to the plight of the police in this," he said.

As for root causes, Paul listed some ideas of his own.

"There are so many things we can talk about," the senator said, "the breakdown of the family structure, the lack of fathers, the lack of a moral code in our society."

He added that "this isn't just a racial thing."

Paul, who has branded himself as an advocate of criminal justice reform, also said justice must come from an investigation of the case of Freddie Gray, a black man who died of a spinal injury while in the custody of Baltimore police.

MSM is bullshit. I was listening to Howard Stern and they announce to the millions of listeners that Jeb Bush has a lead over Billary and do not even acknowledge any other candidates. The psyop has already started. TPTB present the public who they want you to vote for. They have two or more bought and paid for stooges and at least one from each head of the two-headed snake.

Rand Introduces Joint Resolution of Disapproval to Repeal Internet Regulation

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Rand Paul today introduced a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act to nullify Internet regulations recently published by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Through the resolution, Sen. Paul will seek a vote in the U.S. Senate against the FCC’s unnecessary and overreaching power grab for control over the Internet.

“This regulation by the FCC is a textbook example of Washington’s desire to regulate anything and everything, and will do nothing more than wrap the Internet in red-tape. The Internet has successfully flourished without the heavy hand of government interference. Stated simply, I do not want to see the government regulating the Internet,” Sen. Paul said.

This is a listing of gamblers placing their bets on these candidates. Rand has to win the GOP nomination which will be an uphill battle considering the media is pushing Bush and Rubio and leaving Rand as an underlying footnote if they even mention him at all. Bush is the establishment's first choice on the right w/ Rubio being a decent fallback plan as they both are reliable wall street friends as well as the military industrial complex. Hillary is as well so if either of them become the next president, there'll be no major policy changes.

Most people don't know what the two party system is there for but Carroll Quigley spells it out in his book, Tragedy and Hope. He knew many of these insiders and wrote about it. Rand is the exception here yet many well meaning conservatives fall for the string of other candidates that are paraded about and thus splitting up the anti-establishment vote while eventually the establishment rallies around their guy and uses their money and their media allies to drive home a narrative of their guy's electability and position as the imminent nominee.

So, having this an election between Hillary and Bush/Rubio is exactly what the establishment wants, win-win either way. What many conservatives don't realize is that many Rand supporters aren't going to support a Bush type. Anyways, there's plenty of time ahead and Rand has compiled a heavyweight team in the key states up front.

Rand Paul, in Iowa, Courts a College Crowd

In a Republican field so crowded that 10 or more candidates could be on the ballot for the Iowa caucuses, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is counting on the calendar to provide him an edge.

The caucuses, set to be held on Feb. 1, 2016, will be the first time since 2004 that colleges will be in session during the voting, so out-of-state students who have registered will be able to participate.

On three recent Iowa trips, Mr. Paul has visited a college town, traditional liberal bastions that most Republicans honor with a wide berth.

On Saturday, he packed a room just off the Grinnell College campus at the town library, where some parking spaces were reserved for “low-emission vehicles.” The crowd, more curious than foot-stomping, was nonetheless more respectful than during a visit to Grinnell by Michele Bachmann, then a Minnesota representative, in 2011, when student protesters forced her to cancel a public speech.

Mr. Paul’s strategists believe his libertarian-themed conservatism, which polls show to be popular with young Republicans, could be decisive in the 2016 caucuses.

Rand Paul Talks With Jewish Leaders In New York City - Excerpt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdovNuaXFcM

Rand Paul Tells Jewish Audience It Was a ‘Mistake’ to Topple Saddam Hussein

Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican candidate for president, said today in front of an audience of Orthodox Jews that it was a “mistake” to topple Saddam Hussein in Iraq and later wage war in Libya.

“All the way back to the Iraq War, I think it was a mistake to topple [Saddam] Hussein. Hussein was the bulwark against Iran. The Sunnis didn’t like the Shiites, now Iraq is a vassal state for Iran,” Mr. Paul, the libertarian-leaning Kentucky senator, said. “I’m worried [Iran] is twice as strong as it was before the Iraq War.”

Speaking at the Torah Umesorah Hebrew Day School in Midwood, Brooklyn, Mr. Paul said he did not support war with Iran over their nuclear weapons program and took a jab at Hillary Clinton, the top Democratic contender for president and the former secretary of state, for the chaos that resulted in Libya after U.S. forces deposed of Muammar el-Qaddafi.

Chuck Baldwin: Praying for Rand Paul

Make no mistake about it: the neocons are governing America’s foreign policy regardless of which political party is in control of the White House and Congress. And they have been in complete control ever since George H.W. Bush was President. And the vast majority of our congressmen and senators, as well as those who will be running for POTUS in 2016, are in lock-step, I mean LOCK-STEP, with the neocon agenda regarding foreign policy. And, sadly, so are most Christians and conservatives. It is also no hyperbole to say that FOX News is totally and absolutely nothing more than a propaganda ministry for the neocon foreign policy agenda.


For all intents and purposes, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, et al., are behaving EXACTLY as did Germany’s National Socialists (Nazis). If the U.S. government prevails in this case (Saleh v Bush), it will mean that the Nazis’ defense at Nuremberg was RIGHT, and that the allied courts were WRONG to indict them.


Ask yourself, why would Republican senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain viciously attack Rand Paul’s foreign policy like they have? Graham and McCain went on national television last week and said that Rand’s foreign policy was WORSE than Barack Obama’s. Why would Republicans laud a liberal Democrat above a fellow Republican, not once, but over and over? Why? Because these men are governed by the same neocon (Nazi-like) agenda. Rand Paul is not. Democrat and Republican mean NOTHING. As long as he or she allows him or herself to be controlled by the neocon foreign policy, he or she will receive the approbation and support of the governing establishment. And, while what I am about to say is NOT an official endorsement, the ONLY candidate for President who, so far, is not willing to grovel before the neocon foreign policy agenda is Rand Paul. You can bet that the political and media establishments will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to keep Rand from obtaining the Republican nomination, because, to them, IT’S ALL ABOUT MAINTAINING NEOCON CONTROL OF AMERICA’S FOREIGN POLICY.

Make sure and check out the comments down below and you'll see how far out some of these moonbeams in the liberty movement are.

Rand was on Fox and Friends this morning talking about the ongoing Hillary donor dilemma and he also got mentioned on an evening Fox show about this conversation. Really helps his image among republicans as being one of the leaders on this Hillary ordeal.

Gravis Poll: Rand Paul at 15% in NH

Bush 18%
Walker 16%
Paul 15%
Rubio 11%
Cruz 10%
Christie 5%
Carson 4%
Huckabee 3%
Fiorina 3%
Santorum 1%

"Paul leads Clinton 45 percent to 44 percent, he said. “The Kentucky senator beats Clinton among Catholics, 47 percent to 42 percent; among Evangelical Protestants, 72 percent to 22 percent.”

Men support Paul, 51 percent to 40 percent, but Clinton leads Paul among women, 47 percent to 43 percent, Kaplan said. “The numbers are a lot closer among women for Paul against Clinton than for other candidates.”

"“The Wisconsin governor and Bush still lead the pack in New Hampshire, as we have seen in other states,” Kaplan said. “Paul’s strength was dormant, and we have been waiting for his numbers to reflect both the time he is spending in the Granite State and the popularity of his father, the Texas former congressman Ron Paul.”"

"The poll has a margin of error of ± 4% for the Republican Primary..."

Rand Paul Lauded by R & B Singer John Legend for His Criminal Justice Work

In a story from the May 7 issue of Rolling Stone that I was unable to find online, R&B singer John Legend talks of his attempt to "spotlight the staggering rise in the jailed population," as the story puts it.

Legend, the story says, "hopes that prison reform can be a bipartisan issue. 'Rand Paul has been talking about it, and we hope this is something that Hillary embraces as well.'"

Keep hoping, Mr. Legend!

This is at least the second time this year that Rolling Stone has singled out Paul for praise above Hillary on an issue of presumed concern to their audience, having previously done so on marijuana issues.
