Paul will need one hell of a campaign machine to take on the GOP.

Ron Paul had eight years to perfect his organization. It would be no surprise if Rand Paul didn't step right into the organization.

Besides, look at the odds he faced when running for Senator.

Rand for sure.

I like Rubio too, but I'm not sure he wouldn't buckle under REPUBLICAN pressure to ease up and play nice.

Excellent point! And he would have access a boat load of cash, and a massive grass roots organization.

It's early yet.   I an old farm boy, I am not ready to put all my eggs in one basket.  We have 3.5 years yet.  I don't see all the horses in the race yet.  In a year of two we will know who the media wants for the race.

And then the right begins its uphill climb trying to introduce its own candidates, when the all-knowing media have graciously done the public's job for them, and have presented the ONLY viable candidate for compromise and progress....

Meanwhile, the 2016 congressional and senate races will eat away at Obama's supporters, once the general public sees their first income-tax returns under Hussein.

Being asked specifically for a "right now vote',  I'd vote Rubio even though there were a fews remarks made by him at the rub. Pres. election that I didn't like.  Until someone else is thrown in the pot, my vote will stay with him.  It's really too early to say for sure.  I'm hoping that we will have a real conservative for our next Pres.

I'm not holding my breath. Not only has our population been dumbed down beyond belief, but the sole focus of the Obama administration is dumbing them down further, promising more free government goodies, and blaming republicans for everything that's wrong, on a daily basis. Obama and his cronies have no problem telling outright lies, and it's working.

 Kramarat, I'm as disappointed as you sound.  I haven't replied lately as much as I would like.  Too much going on around the home front to let these political freaks we have in government  get me down.

  Found out a couple of weeks ago that my oldest child, my only daughter, has breast cancer.  If that wasn't bad enough, they did an mri on the total picture to be sure and came out and announced that she has a suspicious place in her other side.  So the surgery is put off until the biop is completed on this new spot.  She's out of her mind with worry and I'm not far behind her.  Somehow, our sorry government problems and issues has been put on hold for me.  Never a day goes by that I don't just want to kick the TV in and boycott our newspaper because of the events I am learning from them.  I do get on the forum and read what all of you are saying.  I get a better view from all of you on the political scene.

I'm sorry to hear that, and I'll keep her in my prayers.

After hearing Obamas compelling speach on sequestration yesterday, My hope dropped a few more notches. The doom and gloom scenario he painted and laid at the feet of the republicans was very scary..........it also happened to be a complete fabrication. We've had some pretty bad presidents, but never a snake like this one.

I couldn't describe Obunglar any better than that either.  Words escape me on the destruction he is causing.

Thanks for the prayers.

I am so sorry, I will be praying for you both. 

Thanks Kari, she's always been very healthy but cancer runs on both sides of our family.  She was hoping to be able to dodge a bullet, but so was I last year when I got the news about mine.  Thankfully, hers is no more aggressive than mine was and the docs seem very positive so far.  She just keeps getting hit with more news and we hope we've heard the worst.

You figured out the purpose of this thread, with nearly a million viewers a month, there are many asking these questions and not getting answers from the media or the GOP, were here to fill the void.
We ask the questions the MSM refuses to inquire, and tackle the issues the GOP runs away from.

We workout the answers to the questions the thinking person asks but can't get answers to.

To those lurking, feel free to drop in and say hello.

Keep the faith and I said a prayer for y'all.

Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Paul plus whatever conservative minority candidate doesn't end up exhibiting a Christie-like RINO conversion.  Also make sure there's no juicy skeletons that the RINO's and Dems are waiting on, as with Cain.

It already looks like the RINO's are buttering up Rubio, trying to get him to take financial and media support to abandon some of his principles.

Could be Rubio, Jindahl, Haley, Scott, Rice, West, and so on.  Whoever stays true to their values in the next year or so.

It would be huge if Paul could get the 'prayer breakfast Dr.' to be his VP.

One thing that needs to be done is to set a strong ticket a couple years out and announce that they will be either a GOP ticket, or an independent (or new party) ticket if the GOP doesn't go with them.

Now is the time to disassemble the RINO GOP control of the primaries.  No more pushing the conservatives out, we have the power to stop it.

We also HAVE TO start the 2-3 year destruction of Hillary and Biden, as the dems do every time out for the most likely GOP candidates.  Time to fight fire with fire.
