Rand Paul Appeals To New Hampshire GOP, Urges Diversity

Source: The Huffington Post

By Lisa Miller
May 21, 2013



At a sold-out New Hampshire Republican Party dinner Monday night, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) encouraged the room of GOP supporters to embrace diversity and outreach if they want to take the White House in 2016, the Courier-Journal in Louisville reports.

“We need to be like the rest of America,” Paul said. “We're going to win when we look like America. We need to be white, we need to be brown, we need to be black, we need to be with tattoos, without tattoos, with ponytails, without ponytails, with beards, without."

Paul urged New Hampshire Republicans to reshape their party's image and become the "party of opportunity."

"We need to be that party that can express it in a way that shows that we care about people,” Paul said, according to the Concord Monitor. “We need to care about people even if they are on government assistance."

Yeah, that last line is going to make people switch parties and vote Republican. Patronizing much, Randi?

This guy is really desperate to run in 2016. He's in the news more than the president. Well, he should save his time. No Bagger will ever win the presidency, people are smarter than that.

They are like little chicken hawks, strutting around and acting important. When in reality they are a bunch of bigoted, racist fools.

None of them will ever be president.

3. Smarter than that!

" No Bagger will ever win the presidency, people are smarter than that." What???

Richard Nixon elected twice.
Ronald Reagan elected twice.
George W. Bush elected* twice.
Don't give me the BS that people are smarter than that, they aren't.

*Got close enough to be appointed by the SCOTUS.

he needs to stop hurting our nation by playing with things like the national debt, sit down with the president and be willing to actually reach out and swallow some compromises on some things but if he doesnt mean it then he needs to stfu up and resign because he isnt helping our country get better.

The only reason the Baggers seem to have run for office is to block the Democrats. They don't care about the nation as a whole, only about pushing their own ideology. Compromise is not in their vocabulary. This bunch seems to be the one positioning to run for president in 2016 and scream the loudest to attract their T.P. devotees (Rubio, Paul, Cruz, Ryan, etc.).
