In any case, Old Mitch needs Paul and the Tea Party if he wants to keep his job. Just as Orrin Hatch voted in lockstep with Mike Lee and John Cornyn is sticking close to Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell is cozying up to Paul. Who are the leaders here and who are the followers.
McConnell and Cornyn may be the actual leadership, but in reality, the real power in the senate republican caucus has shifted from them to their junior members.
He told Hannity two weeks ago that he would support McConnell. I don’t know why this is a big issue now.
Shades of Arlen Specter and Rick Santorum. Didn’t go to well for Rick after his endorsement. In my opinion Old Mitch has been there to long and his spine has turned to jelly.
What tea party?
Not a fan of McConnell, but he has stood behing Rand whil McCain and Graham have been pushing for his distruction. I realize it is likely only a factor of political necessity, but that is how politics work.
If people don’t use this against Rand Paul like they unfairly did to Santorum endoring Arlen Spector, I am going to be pissed off like you have never seen before. I am finding Rand Paul to be a politician who has zero real principles.
Suckers.
Rand will find that the aging Mitch McC will bite him in the hand again and again, especially after 2015.
Rand Paul supports “normalization” (amnesty) for illegal aliens.
Rand Paul supports removing marriage from the tax code.
Another sellout. Another traitor.
Disgusting.
Never vote for someone who betrays you, like Rand Paul.
“Oh Mitch, pick up my dry-cleaning for me on your way.”
“Yes Mr Paul!”
Well I guess I’m not so crazy for Rand after all, if he’s going to Sing Along with Mitch, the spineless leader of the Rino’s.
Too bad - I was really starting to like him.
Rand Paul is a Liberal...plain and simple
Conservatives needed to remove McConnell....With Rand supporting him...this makes it difficult
Wonder what excuse will the Paulistinians spin now ?
