According to Rand Paul, ObamaCare now includes new diagnosis codes for some pretty outlandish injuries- including 72 new codes for injuries caused by birds alone.
A new survey of Iowa voters places the former Secretary of State over GOP favorites Rand Paul and Marco Rubio in a litmus test for the 2016 presidential.
Rand Paul addressed the historically African-American Howard University Wednesday, fielding questions, and sometimes protests (at one point a student unfurled a banner reading “Howard University Doesn’t Endorse White Supremacy” before being escorted out by security), to outline how his particular brand of Libertarian-Conservatism could benefit (and historically already had) a demographic notoriously monolithic in its liberal voting record. “We’ll have to see what the Howard students thought,” said Paul while […]
In a Gallup poll released today, a sample of Democrats, Republicans, and independents reported that their main issue with the right is the party’s ‘inflexibility.’ Perhaps riding a wave of public sentiment following last week’s highly publicized same-sex marriage debates before the Supreme Court, the poll drudges up a tired critique of the GOP: they’re all wrinkly, wealthy, white guys who refuse to change with the times. However, read the […]
Republicans need a 2016 presidential candidate who can appeal to voters “across the right-left paradigm,” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday, neither confirming nor denying that he is planning a bid for the White House. “Someone like myself could appeal to young people, moderates and independents,” Paul told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” Paul placed first in the presidential preference straw poll at the 40th Conservative Political Action Conference […]
It’s no secret that the Federal incarceration rate has seen rapid growth in recent years while state and local incarceration rates have been on a steady decline. Why the strange divergence? It certainly isn’t because people aren’t breaking the law. A bi-partisan group of Senators believe that comprehensive reform of Federal mandatory minimum laws is the answer. In an attempt to curb these mandatory minimums, Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and […]
Senator Rand Paul‘s filibuster last week gained much more than just national recognition - it gained an international spotlight for a potential 2016 Presidential bid. Senator Paul has clearly been a favorite amongst the Libertarian party as well as a large, moderate portion of the GOP since his entrance to the US Senate in 2011. Undoubtedly, Paul has been through a serious political makeover in recent weeks and continued tailoring […]
In a speech this morning to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) endorsed a pathway to citizenship for the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants. Immigration reform will not occur until conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation…Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport the millions already here Paul said this pathway would not come […]
Ted Cruz, the junior Senator from Texas, gave the closing keynote speech at CPAC this evening to a wildly enthusiastic, packed house. The speech was entitled “Economic Liberty and the Rising Generation”. Cruz, a darling of the Tea Party and a rapidly rising GOP star, began by addressing the now notorious commentary from Senator John McCain after the Rand Paul filibuster. “We [had] a certain eminence grise of the Republican […]
NRA President, David Keene, spoke at CPAC this afternoon. He began by highlighting the fact that the Republican Party and the conservative movement are decidedly not the same thing - citing the American Conservative Union’s inception and the somewhat cold shoulder it initially received from the party establishment. He expanded on that point by comparing the ACU’s early days as outsiders in the party to libertarians today. “In the last […]
