I'm a Rand Paul supporter and will most likely vote for him if it comes down to it.

But I feel like he might scare some people off with his over the top extreme stances for certain subjects just like his father.

Does anyone else feel this way or support him?

Which of his stances are over the top or extreme?

He will be criticized for it whether he is or not.

Probably not, but he's one of few people I'd vote for

I think the ideas that Obama has about redistributing wealth and transforming America are way more radical than anything Rand espouses.

Unfortunately, no. The real owners if this country would not allow it. Both Fox and CNN will go hardcore against him, to where the sheep will follow.

Suing the NSA is a little extreme in my opinion, I understand opposing it.

Like I said, I agree with his views but I think he comes off extreme to others. I don't see him swaying the Obama supporters to his side.

serious shot

Is that kind of violent imagery really necessary?

No.
He's not a good liar. To be elected president you have to be really good at lying. Obama is the best I've seen since Clinton.

I will install him as el Presidente after I lead a successful revolt on the current tyrannical regime.

Sadly I doubt it.

He has some interesting ideas I could get behind. But the mainstream party will work together to kill his chances.

He has a very legitament shot. N

A few questions and issues he is going to have to meander in order to win the Republican nomination: Civil Rights legislation. Marijuana legalization. A defined foreign policy agenda.

If Rand flops it will be due to personality and presentation, not ideas. If Christie or Rubio win, they'll win on personality and presentation. Bush, Perry, or and other governors are wildcards. My guess is the thing comes down to Rubio and Paul vs Hillary or Cuomo.

He has a serious shot at the republican nomination but I don't think he can win a general election given his libertarian beliefs.
