Do you agree with
Sen. Rand Paul? As noted at
Reason 24/7, the libertarian Kentucky Republican told
Glenn Beck that
“I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime … unless
they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party,” Paul said evenly.
“And it has to be a transformation. Not just a little tweaking at
the edges.”…The primary goal, Paul said, is to present the “ideas of
liberty” to everyone.“There are many people who are open among all these disaffected
groups, who really aren’t steadfast supporters of Obama or an
ideology,” Paul asserted. “I think they’re open to listening, but
we have to have a better message and a better presentation of
it.”
No national politician has done a better job over the past few
years of presenting ideas about limiting the size, scope, and
spending of the federal government than Paul (whom
Reason magazine dubbed “the
most interesting man in the Senate“). From his repeated
attempts to cut the federal budget by $500 billion in five years to
his epic filibuster on drone policy to calling for a new approach
to foreign policy to pushing industrial hemp, Paul is a standing
challenge not just to the GOP establishment but to the larger
Washington establishment. He’s made more than a few missteps so far
and he’s far from perfect, but he’s looking sharper and sharper
from a limited-government perspective.
In 2013, Reason TV covered reactions to Paul’s speech about race
at Washington, D.C.’s Howard University:
