Credible versus principle. Credible, as in this case, to be in an agreement with the people who deem issues, events, and ideals as right or wrong and who sets the standards.
ReplyDeleteStatistics show that the politicians who appeal to the greatest number of voters are those that give away the most stuff to said voters. If his goal is to appeal to the broadest possible base, he ought to consider such a strategy. That might also help to further differentiate himself from his father.

Able to be believed; convincing.
Capable of persuading people that something will happen or be successful: "a credible threat".
Incredible!!!
Rand Paul wants to remove all federal taxation associated with gold/silver. This, coupled with state efforts to allow gold/silver legal tender will undermine the Federal Reserve system. An alternative financial structure will emerge over time based on free-market exchange and choice.
