Category Archives: CPAC Straw Poll

The "Paul" last name is still carrying much weight. What I think we are seeing, is that Republican Party needs to get serious about being conservative. The party won't last if it continues to push establishment candidates when the grassroots is principled in conservative ideas.

I don't feel any of those 3 represent me.  Rand Paul has some very good attributes, but I think once people realize his libertarian stance on defense and other issues he may be too much like his dad.  Marco Rubio has been a big disappointment to me lately due to his role in the Gang of…
