Perhaps channeling some of his Daddy’s Jew-hatred?
I expected more from Paul.

Rand voted yes because his Dad’s libertarian anti-Israel fan club was upset. Hating Israel is a defining issue for these people.
To: Corporate Democrat
I failed to understand his reasoning. Seemed to me Paul just makes his decision based on totally random illogic.
Yes, the president gets to pick appointees, but that doesn’t mean president IS OUR KING, and the confirmation process a rubber stamp to make it look pretty.
Huh, again????

Asked if he ever got the information he wanted about Hagel, Paul said that he hadn't. WTF

May the price of rope rise sharply in DC very soon.

I had better hopes for young Paul.
Alas, it was not to be.
If he can’t even vote correctly on something this obvious....a simple vote — not requiring any leadership ability or effort....
pray for America! pray pray pray...
(and yes, we need a new Senator next time, too!!!)
To: Corporate Democrat
That statement from Rand Paul is less than weak tea, it is nonsensical. It makes him sound like he completely defers to Lord Obama and it will haunt him with conservatives should he have any higher office aspirations.

It’s a sad thing, I did hope he would be more consistent. I guess it’s true, Washington D.C. will eventually corrupt anyone we send there to represent us.
To: Corporate Democrat
Covering mouth and coughing - bullshit!
To: Ramonne
The lesson here is that we can never reasonably expect any one lawmaker to vote to please us 100% of the time. I might have been happier if Paul had not voted for Hagel either but the reality is it probably didn't make one bit of difference.
It is not reasonable to expect this president to have ever nominated a desirable candidate--Obama hates America.
It was no surprise to me at all. I told y’all so a long time ago.

Rand Paul’s son was arrested ny TSA for several infractions at an airport not long ago. Maybe this makes those fed charges go away.

To: Corporate Democrat
but the president gets to choose political appointees," Paul said. So what's the point of the review? This is an obvious cop-out.
Rand is now off my A-list. I'm on the Cruz bandwagon.
