Only c00ns wouldn't vote for Republican Rand Paul for President

[Handsback]

Black Americans enjoy larger financial gains under Democratic presidents than Republican ones.

I almost appreciate Paul going against the Republican old boys club and at least addressing issues of high incarceration rates but it would take a lot more than that to get us to vote for him. Lets see him pass some of that through now and then we'll talk.

Black folks were the hardest hit during the recent financial crisis, in large part due to deregulation. To expect things to turn around under a president that promises even further deregulation is ridiculous.

 

[DEAD7]

You really think Paul is going to fight for black issues? Against a party that is inherently anti any policies that affect minorities? Word?

Don't be naive and don't be blinded by ideology. The Republican Party survival has in large part depended on fanning the flames of racial resentment for the last thirty some odd years. It's also known as the southern strategy. If you really think the Republicans will jettison a core and winning strategy to fulfill promises to black voters, you are beyond naive, you are out of your fukking mind B.

No i think no one is, and that Paul opposes expansion of govt. and the drug war. Never said he was the savior of blacks.

Even if Rand Paul was genuine, as a Republican, there is no fukking way he could stop the expansion of the drug war. Not as a Republican president.

Describe one scenario where Rand Paul would be able to go against the base and majority of his party to decriminalize Marijuana or reduce drug sentences. Just one.

Most Republicans are Law and order types who call for even harsher sentences and even more drug laws.

Are you really this ideologically blind that you can't see it?

having a republican in office on that side of the issue is huge in itself Getting that conversation starte don the main stage should be a huge selling point to every African American...
add his desire(real or not) to restore felon voting rights.


Do you realize how that pushes the left to go further on those issues? its win win. Can you imagine Dems letting a republican run left of them on many issues You guys need to look at the big picture.

 

[QuintessentialBM]

Not that I necessarily vote Dem, but the day I vote Repub is the day Black Americans are paid for reparations....

Just like they did with Obama, people are thinking presidents are fukking dictators who just get in office and do what the hell they want.

You're a Libertarian so you live in a fantasy land anyway. I can see how this makes sense to you.

Black Libertarians are so gullible, they think "Libertarians" like Rand Paul actually care about libertarian principles and are not just States' rights conservatives still bitter about the Civil War and Civil Rights movement.

You suck off a man who published racist newsletters for a couple of decades just so you can feel like a contranian.

No counter so you fall back on this... fair enough.

I still hold, that having a conservative run, that's left of Dems on key issues(real or fake), can only produce positive outcomes.

Personal attacks on me wont change that.

 

[the cac mamba]

Rand Paul is appealing to lowest common denominator for the sympathy vote. Its no biggie to let felons vote or lessen the punishment for drug crimes.

But I bet if you asked Paul to come up with a real solution such as funding our schools and getting better teachers for them

He would be like

what a great point

so a repub president calls for the drug war to be reigned in

If your black and your a libertarian, you are either misinformed, ill informed, or worse...

You don't get it.

The state is what protects the rights on the minority from the suppression and of the majority.

Under a libertarian regime, money and strength and numbers rein supreme.

The state sits back and lets the free market "decide", thats really code for letting people who have money and power in numbers do what ever the hell they want.



Lets say you walked into your local grocery story, you could be denied access because of race legally under a Paul policy. He admitted himself.

His argument is that the free market would balance it out and it would hurt companies discriminating. Problem is us blacks are a small portion of the population. If a business said GTFO because your black, it wouldnt affect them adversely as you may think.

We as a people would be fukked

Lemme guess the state didn't exist during slavery?


Anywho, its off topic, and libertarianism is too broad for a statement like yours to be taken seriously. I'm just gonna say your right and keep it moving.
