Quote:That's unfortunate.  I think his general curmudgeon is what cost him, especially the first few debates which reinforced the impression.  I think the libertarian sect needs a fresh, young face to enter the fray.  National elections have already shown that people gravitate towards the young, smooth, and cool.  There needs to be a Marco Rubio / Barack Obama with the Paul message for the movement to gain any momentum.  I think it is coming, but most of those kids are in college now.  We may see a candidate gain traction within 20 years.

Rand is pretty young. I don't want young, fresh, smooth or cool I want a candidate who is knowledgeable about everything on his plate.  The guy has vision, understands historically what we have done and how we have failed.  Everyone called him an isolationist because he didn't want to go around provoking nations.  The libertarian "sect" doesn't need a new face it needs more people to be educated towards the fact that big government in the form of both Democrats and Republicans has failed them.  I felt Rand Paul was the only candidate establishing that position which is the only position myself and many like me have at this point.


War Crazy, Ignorant, Socialist, Financially illiterate is what we have left and thats not even counting Hillary's many issues.  Its no wonder voter turnout is low.  I will vote for whoever Paul endorses because he is the only one I have any faith in.
