Milford is one of the southern-central most towns in NH so anyone in the surrounding area could make this one w/ a moderate level of driving.

Billary? She should be in prison right now. She just openly committed 2 crimes and as of yet not charged:

1) She used a private email server and address to do official government business.

2) She, after being subpoenaed for the emails, wiped the server clean.

1 & 2 are both criminal acts. If we still had responsible media they would be hammering on this 24-7 as their 'Breaking News' news byte. All I see is a sugarcoating. The fix is in.

She is covering up her role in Benghazi. She is a criminal and she is a candidate for President? Unfuckingbelievable. I guess that is now a prerequisite to become Scumbag-In-Chief.

Dude, plz leave the alt coin stuff outta this thread. This one is only for chronicling Rand's run for president. thx

Perfect time to invest in Ron Paul Coin.  Rand's announcement to run for president and his strong support in the first caucus (Iowa) will be a catalys for that coin to start moving.

I know that the so-called political "experts" in our national media tell you and me what our nation needs is more of the same. They look ahead to November 2016 and predict a showdown between two candidates with yesterday's last names pushing yesterday's failed Big Government policies. But if my travels to Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere over the past several weeks are any indication, I believe our media couldn't be more wrong.

I believe the American people are hungry to restore the founding principles of freedom that so many politicians in Washington, D.C. routinely ignore. That's why I need to hear from you right now more than ever. . .

You see, the March 31st fundraising deadline is rapidly approaching. Immediately following, I must turn in my financial reports for the first quarter.

All eyes are going to be on me during this most critical time. Can I count on your support before the End of Quarter deadline?

If anyone in the states supports Rand for President, perhaps you can send some fastfood money his way or if you have a larger portion of spending money, then do what you can for his (R)evolutionary upcoming campaign to change the US for the better. I wish foreigners can send money in bitcoin (which Rand doesn't currently accept) to help Rand but that's not the case atm.

I think that policies and presentation are both equal in being president. Yes, people want good policies, because that is what they are meant to do, change things, but the President MUST be good at speaking since he is communicating with other countries, and needs to keep those relationships. The people want someone who speaks well, loves america, and is confident. If they can't speak or present themself very well, people will be less confident in him as a leader and therefore might not vote for him.

Oops, I mistakenly linked to where I found this piece rather than where it originally came from which was at https://dougwead.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/the-difference-between-rand-paul-and-ted-cruz/.

Mr. Wead is a presidential historian that worked for Ron Sr as well as being in the GW Bush administration and is now advising Rand Paul going forward. It was a mistake to not link the original piece but even though I tend to like Cruz as a #2 guy, he's too pro-war. I'd read the full piece to get the big picture on Cruz.

I think what you said its very credible and true (I agree) but generally you wan't to link to sources that are not clearly biased. ronpaulforums.com is clearly in on Rand Pauls side, since rand is ron's son.
Personally I think ted cruz would be a better president, the way that he speaks without a teleprompter, and I can just imagine him being president and representing the US.

Rand realizes he's got Rubio and his counterparts (knowing or unknowing - Cruz) on the fiscal skewer.

This adds to the articles about Rand setting the trap for Cruz and letting Rube show his true colors for once. The neocons want an increase in the military budget yet have no inklings to cover it with other spending cuts, unlike Rand. Rand staged a fraud paradigm on this, and the former fiscal hawk Cruz fell flat.

The difference between Rand Paul and Ted Cruz

So what’s the difference between presidential candidates Rand Paul and Ted Cruz?

Ted Cruz is running against Barack Obama. Rand Paul is running against Hillary Clinton. One represents the past. The other represents the future.

Both men are U.S. Senators running for president in 2016. Rand Paul is from Kentucky, Ted Cruz is from Texas. (Rand Paul is expected to announce on April 7, 2015.)

Both men are conservatives whose careers were launched during the rise of the Tea Party. Both are born again Christians. And both signed the controversial Senate letter supporting Israel. So if they have the same base of support, what’s the difference?

Rand Paul excites that base and motivates them to action. Ted Cruz has all but given up on that base and is focusing exclusively and only on born again Christians. He is betting that he will take that vote, and only that vote, and win it all. It is a high stakes gamble that counts on driving out of the way born again Christians such as Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and yes even Rand Paul.

Bottom line, Rand Paul can win a national election. Ted Cruz cannot. Early polling bears that out. Polls can be fickle and don’t always reflect reality this far in advance but most polls show only Rand Paul close to Hillary Clinton in any of the battleground states. Not Bush, Christie, Rubio, Perry, Huckabee and not Cruz.

Watchdog Group Names Leahy and Paul as "Constitutional Champions"

Scholars and political pundits have long bemoaned the partisanship that pervades our politics, and the use of the Constitution to seek policy changes. Now, acrimony seems to have seeped into every part of the political process. Some observers blame the corrupting influence of campaign cash, others point to the rise of the "tea party" movement, still others say it is just the nature of political parties. Whatever the cause, it doesn't have to be this way.

For nearly two decades, The Constitution Project, a bipartisan legal watchdog group that I head, has brought together policymakers and legal practitioners from across the ideological spectrum to develop consensus solutions to some of the toughest constitutional challenges of our time. To recognize others who share our vision, each year we present our Constitutional Champion Award to individuals and organizations who have dedicated themselves to defending our Constitution and the principles it embodies. This year, I am pleased to say that two of our honorees are Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.). Both have worked doggedly to build bipartisan consensus on a number of critical constitutional issues.

2016 brawl breaks out on Senate floor

The 2016 Republican nomination contest spilled onto the Senate floor Thursday, turning a marathon budget debate into a battle over which candidate is prepared to lead the country at a time of war.

Four GOP senators are trying to gain the upper hand on the commander-in-chief test — Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham — and their competition was on vivid display as the Senate took up a Rubio plan to pump tens of billions of dollars more into the Pentagon budget. Sen. Rand Paul blasted the idea because the new spending wasn’t offset by other cuts. And caught in the middle was Cruz, who’s pitching himself as a fiscal conservative who can appeal to the hawkish and libertarian wings of the GOP but ultimately sided with Rubio and Graham. [Checkmate on fiscal credentials  ]

In an interview with POLITICO, Paul lambasted his foes for engaging in “reckless” and “irresponsible” behavior, showing that they lacked the “courage” and conviction to rein in the country’s mountain of debt. He said there are now two camps in the GOP primary field: One that cares about the debt, and another that does not. [ like a Boss!]

It was just a way to join the crowd wanting increased military spending since the propaganda outlets have stirred up the party base for the last six months or more. So, in a very good checkers move, Rand just sat back and let Rubio and ilk beat the drums for more 'defense' spending which Sen. Cruz (so-called fiscal hawk up until now) and then he offered a modest increase by cutting much more elsewhere in his own amendment, thus offsetting it. He basically just tactically exposed Cruz, Rubio and the rest of them as fiscal frauds and scored some serious ammo for the future campaign and is relentlessly hitting them in the media right now. win win

‘Recipe For Disaster’: Rand Paul Attacks Rubio’s Seriousness On Deficit

In an interview with The Daily Caller, Rand Paul took a shot at potential 2016 rival Marco Rubio for proposing to increase military spending without offsets elsewhere.

Earlier Thursday, both Paul and Rubio offered separate amendments that would have increased military spending. While Paul’s amendment included specific cuts in the budget to make up for the increase in spending, Rubio’s didn’t.

Neither amendment passed. But Paul is arguing the episode foreshadows a significant divide in the upcoming Republican presidential race.

Speaking by phone Thursday, Paul said: “I think it shows a lack of seriousness, in regard to the problem of the deficit, if you’re willing to increase spending $190 billion dollars without cutting any spending. That is reckless and a recipe for disaster.”

“I think there’s a very important distinction, or separation, that occurred on that vote,” Paul added. “Particularly among people who are considered to be potential candidates.”

Somehow I don't think $76.5 billion is going to equip and train the unorganized militia (coupled with the destruction and imprisonment of all who advocate "gun control" aka treasonous disarmament of only law-abiding, mentally-sound, sober victims), which would actually be a meaningful defense against ISIS.

Paulonomics: Rand’s Plan For An Economic Boom

The 2016 race has begun to heat up in recent days for the Rand Paul campaign, with several key hires having been made and an April 7th announcement date scheduled to declare his candidacy for president. With over a dozen rivals expected to challenge Paul for the Republican nomination, one of his major challenges is going to be convincing the American people that he is the man with the vision to restore American greatness. Fortunately for his libertarian fans, Rand Paul has a budget plan that would cause an economic boom by utilizing core economic principles that conservatives and libertarians alike agree on. This bold vision for America would create millions of jobs by instituting the first real spending cut we have seen since World War 2 ended, a major tax cut that would leave billions of dollars in the economy, and a regulatory reform plan that would simplify the process of dealing with a treacherous federal government for American families, businesses and individuals everywhere.

The budget begins with a $411 billion cut year one, paving the way to a balanced budget in five years. It accomplishes this by eliminating four federal departments (Education, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy), repealing Obamacare and block granting welfare programs (Medicaid, SCHIP, food stamps, and child nutrition) to the states. These cuts would not only mean not paying for four federal departments and several federal welfare programs, but would also create an important reduction in the amount of regulation being imposed on Americans under the Obama administration. The departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in particular have encroached on the basic liberties of the American people for far too long, and we must have a president who is ready to eliminate them. The Paul plans elimination of these departments will cause an end to federal takeovers like Common Core and plans to socially engineer our communities via HUD. The elimination of four federal departments will create a regulatory climate that is easier to navigate than it has been in many decades. We now have a federal government that spends recklessly and a national debt that is approaching $19 trillion, and we can no longer afford to elect Republicans who talk about cutting spending in vague ways and then fail to follow through. The Paul plan creates meaningful strides towards shrinking government.
