Top 10 Reasons to Support Rand Paul for President

[nayjevin]

What are your top 10 reasons to Support Rand Paul, in as few words as possible?

[Rad]

I think Rand would like something like this but with varied wording:
"Strong defense of Israel"
"Strong defense of America"
"Strong against Islamic terror and Iran"
"Strong defense of the rights of the unborn"
"Strong defense of America's borders"
"Strong defense of the Bill of Rights"
"Strong fiscal conservative record"
"Cut taxes for everyone, rich and poor"
"Abolish common core and let communities raise their children"
"100% of the time follows the Constitution"

[Crashland]

Well I can't speak for others, but if I had to boil down the reasons I support Paul, it would be because he promotes Freedom and Prosperity. Freedom = limited government and following the constitution (the WHOLE constitution), and prosperity = lower taxes, get rid of protectionist trade policies and stop the debt.

[Origanalist]

CONSISTENTLY supports the right to bear arms 100%
CONSISTENTLY 100% pro life
Wants government out of marriage
War only as last resort and only after Constitutionally declared, doesn't go looking to John Bolton for advice.
Wants to audit Fed
Is the top person running on civil liberties period
Best shot at balancing the budget
Best shot at ending illegal NSA and TSA searches
Best shot at keeping true Constitutional principles alive IMO
Isn't stupid enough to say he's going to deport 20+ million men, women and children and bring them back. Rapidly.

I made this thread because:

(re: www.RandPaulDigital.com) The main thing left outstanding is a top 10 Tweet messages of why you should support Rand Paul that supporters can retweet. The section where the content would be placed is in "Share Facts" area, you can get to it by the navigation at the top right of the page under "Engage". Supporters will be able to use the left and right arrows to scroll through the pictures with a tweet message on each one that they can then share using the facebook or twitter images to help promote both Rand Paul and the Digital project supporting the MBs.

And here is what I came up with:

Thanks Jay, appreciate your help with these! +Rep

[Todd]

There is not one candidate who has run for president in my lifetime who can say they're more committed to liberty, Austrian economics, small government, the Constitution, and a rational foreign policy than my son, Rand Paul - Ron Paul

...

[Brian4Liberty]

Rand's defense of the Bill of Rights. That can be broken into ten points pretty easily.

Worse case scenario, lesser of many evils. That's how I see it.
