I see he's taking steps in the right direction....  He would be one of the more principled candidates from either party. The powers that be along with establishment repubs are opposed to him though.

IMO, Rand Paul IS the direction. However, I much prefer his father in terms of competence/experience, but Rand Paul has the personality and popularity factor to play American politics that his father lacks, while still honoring the truth. I wish him well and hope he seeks presidential office and I really, really hope that black folks LISTEN to what Rand Paul has to say/offer rather than succumb to another decade of the options provided by Democrats that have failed, FAILED, us for 50 years. Also, take a look, by "look" I mean listen, to Rand Paul's speech to Howard University students. I mean really listen, consider it. Thanks.

Who cares about what Rand Paul has to say. He is too busy stilling from the writings of other people.

I would be interested in hearing what he told them and how they responded to it.

I'm going to look up the speech. I would be interested in hearing what he told them and how they responded to it. Research his thoughts on Black people, too...LOL...I'm sure that will leave you admiring him even more.

I would be interested in hearing what he told them and how they responded to it. honestly, a lot of students didn't show, a couple walked out and interrupted his speech in the process, which was ignorant as hell. You can leave without making a scene. His speech to Howard wasn't the greatest but it was impassioned and contained many valid points. I also found the Q/A at the end to be very honest.

That next to the last question about Malcolm X was something else. I enjoyed the whole thing though. There was a nice crowd, and they were respectful for the most part.
More Republicans need to do that, and give black students an opportunity to ask some tough questions. Several did just that. He was forced to defend his positions on a lot of issues. He also cleared up some misconceptions.
