I have some hope for Rubio. Not because I trust the guy. But because he is gonna owe a lot of favors to Demint.

Whilst Rubio isn't in my top 3 senate races, I do like that he's a good family man and defends traditional values. His win would certainly be a good thing.

For a second, I thought you wrote, "To Take Are Country Back Ah Reckin." ;)

Seriously though, "family values" is the age-old self-righteous tripe we've been hearing from establishment Republican social conservatives for ages...not liberty-lovers. I mean, I'm cool with liberty-lovers who are social conservatives on the cultural side of things, but that doesn't mean I agree with it, and it's sure as hell not a substitute for actual substantive pro-liberty views in a politician.

BTW, sarahgop, how's Scott Brown doing? :rolleyes:

He seems like a good dude but, a bit more like Huckabee.

No use for Rubio. He's an Aspen Institute chap like Grayson and Conway in KY. Not everyone trumped as a "tea party candidate" is constitutional.... though we're very fortunate to have some real ones in the mix.

Every Republican is a "good family man who defends family values," right up until the day the photos come out showing him with a hooker, diddling a campaign staffer, or snorting coke off the nude body of his gay lover.

The primary Republican value seems to be hypocrisy.

Naturally, things will only change with liberty candidates, like Rand. However, it's also important that the people you elect are decent people. Decent people are less likely to lie and steal from you.

This is one of the great appeals of Ron Paul. Not only is he right on the issues, with regards to money, spending, taxes, war, the Constitution and so on, but he is also a good family man with traditional values. He's been faithfully married to his wife for, what, 50 or so years? He's lead an honest and clean life and defends human life. This all adds to his appeal.

This was the downfall of Mark Sanford. Seemed great on the issues. Real fiscal hawk. But betraying one's wife like that tells you a lot about the person... Same goes for Gingrich. If he could lie to his wives, why wouldn't he lie to the electorate?

Now, Rubio is far from perfect, but I'll wait until he's (presumably) in the senate and voting on legislation before I assume that he'll be like many of the others. But out of the three in this Florida race, he certainly appears to be the best option.

I don't get this talk of Rubio as a "decent person." Hypothetically, who is a more decent person to you:
A Wiccan man who has outrageously deviant sex with five other men every day but opposes war (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=262768) and the military-industrial complex?
Or a Church-going family man who has been faithfully married to his wife since he graduated high school, who has ten kids and loves them very much, but who supports war (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=262768) and the military industrial complex?

"Family values" are no substitute for true human decency, and I consider people getting their body parts blown off at their wedding to be far more obscene than anything a full-blown porn star has ever done.

...really? What exactly is this typical Republican Rubio going to change, that is of any significance...?

Foreign policy is the single most important issue. It's an enormous part of the federal budget, and it involves killing innocent people with no accountability and begging for blowback, all so the military-industrial complex can make the big bucks. How is making that issue a dealbreaker, "political purity?" Opposing SENSELESS WARMONGERS is "political purity?"

If you really believe that, I could call you a "political purist" for opposing any politician over practically any other issue. Oppose pro-Obamacare politicians? Political purist! Oppose pro-cap and trade politicians? Political purist!


he is the best we could do in commie MA. scotty is great.

So basically, you're saying that an establishment neocon, who does not care about war, the police state, corporate fascism (i.e. the road to national socialism) or even the budget (so long as Republicans are the ones spending) is somehow any better than the establishment Democrats he ran against? ...and you're going further and calling him GREAT?

Let me guess: You're not actually a Ron Paul supporter, are you? I mean, you seem perfectly fine with the Republican establishment, so how could you be?

Maybe you're right, but being totally meaningless is a whole lot better than actively contributing to the problem, like you do when you support guys like Brown and Rubio. When you call them the "best," you're missing the point: They're just as bad as their opponents.

10 years from now, no matter how many "best person that can win" are elected, we're still going to be headed in the same direction.


But if being a partisan cheerleader is what you like to do, go for it.

I will actually use this opportunity to defend Scott Brown. No, he's not perfect. In fact, he's pretty darned awful. But he is still far better than Martha Coakley. Sometimes, when you have a national frickin' emergency, like the Democrats having a 60-vote supermajority with which to ram through a truly insane socialist agenda, you have to hold your nose and pull the lever for the least worst option that actually has a shot at winning.

There is a good libertarian candidate running in Florida.

Who is going to finish in a distant fourth place (at best), with a very low single-digit vote percentage when the votes are actually counted on November 2nd. We all know that's where that candidacy is ending up.

I get what 'sarahgop' is saying. I still don't like Rubio, but if I lived in Florida I'd probably vote for him to ensure no Crist or Meek. I'm thankful I don't need to make that choice though.
