I wont deny I like a lot of what he has been saying, but when he repeats his fathers mantra, along with CODE PINK, that we are in perpetual war, that we started it crap
then Rand is a loser to me
repeating any of the CODE PINK lingo, that ANSWER speech code words, so much that VAN JONES will praise you???
Rand Paul is poison, stay away!
Here is the thing that is going to shock you.
We ARE in a perpetual war. And in perpetual crisis. BUT, not the bullshit that code pink spews.
Government needs windmills to tilt with. If not then the mantra of "we need more funds" rings hollow.
We have a war on poverty, a war on drugs, a war on terror, a war on obesity, etc...
This is how politiclowns stir up the clueless masses so they can hand out dollars for solutions to problems that are mostly blown out of proportion OR totally non-existent.
Did you know if we continue to burn fossil fuels the average temperature will be almost 1 degree warmer in 100 years? We need to appoint blue ribbon panels and hire consultants and scientists and have a carbon tax to deal with this massive threat! WE NEED A WAR ON WARMING!!!! (Do I need the sarcasm tag for that last paragraph?)
So you see, we are in a perpetual state of war and thus that allows the government to justify is ridiculous spending habits. Thar's how the HEALTH CARE CRISIS came about and got us Obamacare.
Surf over to Vote Smart and check out his ratings by various organizations across the political spectrum. The ACU, JBS and Club for Growth rate him at 100 percent, and he gets an A from the NRA and a B+ from Gun Owners of America. Meanwhile, he gets goose eggs from several labor unions and low marks from other liberal outfits.
Certainly, part of vetting ought to be what he thinks of his father’s mentor, Lew Rockwell. You and I were both around on September 11, 2001, when the posts about Lew Rockwell shouting about how it was all America’s fault were rolling in. Anybody in any way associated with that has a high bar of mistrust to overcome.
At present Rand Paul seems to be one of the only people saying what needs to be said.
As long as that is the case, he has my support.
What we need is to have more in the GOP saying the right things.
Where is everyone?
