Despite their long parade of RINO and Gay-Bashing headliners, its nice to see this coming from the Attendees.
One day after riveting a packed convention ballroom, tea party darling Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) topped the 2014 Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll, his second consecutive victory in the conservative confab’s contest.
Paul won 31 percent of the vote (compared with the 25 percent he won last year), beating a crowded field of more than two dozen names, including a number of potential 2016 GOP presidential contenders. He crushed second-place finisher Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who came in with 11 percent.
Its good to see the small-government pro-freedom guys getting the votes. I don’t know what this means in the mid-term election, or the Presidential election in 2016, but its better than Chris Cristi cleaning up, or some other anti-gay anti-freedom prick.
Also Paul’s speech was AWESOME!
I’m still pulling for Ted Cruz. Rand’s better than Ron, by a long shot, but I’m not lining up to touch either Paul’s coattails. I’ll take any of them over Shrillary or whatever other nodding tomfool the
Communists,I mean Socialists, I mean Democrats put out.I like Cruz too, just Rand wins in a photo finish with me personally.
I’m not lining up to touch the coattails of ANY politician. They’re just people, some are better than others, but still they’re all mortals.
The media and the Republican Powers-That-Be will do whatever they have to in order to keep the small-government pro-freedom guys from getting anywhere within shouting distance of the nomination. I expect it’ll be Gary Johnson all over again.
Sadly you’re probably right….
