Stop Expecting Rand Paul To Be Ron Paul
by Eric July. Libertarian elitism is something that truly annoys me, but it really shows itself when we have these Rand Paul vs. Ron Paul discussions during our current election cycle. Do not get me wrong, it isn’t completely absurd that someone would compare a man to his father. But if one is alluding to an expectation that Rand is supposed to be ... MOREConor Friedersdorf: The Principled Realism Of Rand Paul
We should try it for a change. Senator Rand Paul distinguished himself among Republicans this week by championing a more careful, pragmatic response to ISIS than any other primary candidate. So far, it hasn’t won him much support. The rise of the terrorist group has divided the GOP in an interesting way. Its neoconservative wing, ... MORERand Paul Slams White House For Saying Donald Trump Disqualified Himself From Race; Lists Why Obama Is Unfit
by Nick Gass. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul slammed the White House on Wednesday for saying that Donald Trump disqualified himself from running with his announcement earlier this week that the United States should close its borders to Muslims until further notice.

by Sandy Fitzgerald. GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul Monday called for a "moratorium on immigration" from the Middle East, noting that the woman involved in last week's mass shootings in San Bernardino should not have been in the United States.

By David Sherfinski. Sen.

Chris Christie, who have described the program as an effective tool in the fight against terrorism. “There will ... MOREWhy Rand Paul Was The Stealth Winner Of The GOP Debate
by Peter Weber. Fox Business wanted the fourth presidential debate to show that the network respects the Republican presidential candidates, unlike more successful financial news rival CNBC, and it proved that by letting the candidates largely run the show. That tended to favor candidates eager to jump in and assert themselves, so Ohio Gov. ... MOREMatt K. Lewis: Let Rand Be Rand!
The lesson learned. The reviews are in — and it looks like Rand Paul had a good night. Libertarians say he hit his stride. Slate says he’s best when he has nothing left to lose. It was clearly his finest performance of the four debates. As I noted on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday morning, his heated exchange with Marco Rubio was good for both ... MOREJohn Stossel: Beat The Elite
An exaggerated sense of self-importance. We love to complain about elites, people who seem to have a special advantage, privileges in life. I get annoyed by the Kardashians and other spoiled rich kids. They didn't work for their wealth. They don't contribute. Still, those elites are mostly harmless. But there's one group of truly dangerous ... MORE
