And tell us how this is such a bad thing, given the horrific state of federal finances nowadays?
One can be both a fiscal conservative and a social conservative. In that regard, I find common ground with Rand Paul on fiscal issues. I won't bad-mouth him the way you have here - your way is how alliances are trashed instead of nutured - and it takes alliances to overcome the progressive agenda, one group alone cannot muster the numbers to do such.
And as another poster noted, what are you expecting? Him to launch into a detailed discussion of Constitutional policy on LETTERMAN? Jeez, maybe, just maybe, do you think a simplified statement of his positions is a better approach in that venue?
Switch to decaf, dude.
Apparently, you’re quite happy with the road to ruin we’ve been on for at least the past three decades. The alliance between fiscal and social conservatives contributed greatly to the collapse of Constitutional rule and completely out of control government. It’s not an alliance that I have any interest in nurturing. If they’re not willing to play by the fundamental rules, then they’re just as bad as the other bad guys.
