Rand needs to be careful that in the search of votes and supposedly wanting the GOP to be appealing to more voters he doesn't sacrifice conservative ideals.

I could deal with his immigration comment, on this issue I don't agree with him.

Hope he doesn't turn into a full blown RINO.

Agree, he is walking a very fine line here.

That's not always true... If you have some blow on you, you're a felon.

Steroids... Felon.

I mean, I agree if it's a violent crime... No fucking way.

But when the crimes are of a non-violent nature, I'm inclined to think that once they have done the time, they should be all forgiven.



Yeah, this is my opinion as well.  For the ones that have a felony conviction for 3 shoplifting offenses, I wouldn't take their right to vote.  The murderers, robbers, rapists, etc...tough shit - no vote.
