Yea, it did make a difference. He can no longer be trusted. His word means nothing.
I’m not defending ANYONE, and not defening his action. I think it was a mistake. I didn’t realize you were Jesus. I don’t think anyone else did either.
Depends what the strike is.
You are so right. People forget who these people beat and how THOSE folks would have beaten. I assume Grayson is who Paul beat in the primary, and the Jack Conway guy he beat in the General is a liberal arrogant ass. And yes, Rubio beat Charlie Crist, ran him out of the entire party, and beat ultra liberal Kendrick Meek in the general.
The very worst, most hyporcticial and frankly moronic folks are out on this one tonight, expecting perfection when they probably haven’t been perfect since 4:30 this afternoon. They nauseate me.
I’ve looked at your rather thin posting history and have concluded that you are probably not a troll.
It would help if you would respond more when asked questions and when invited to talk. So would telling us anything about yourself on your profile page.
Anyway, Welcome to FR!
Perfection !?
A NO vote was a no brainer !!! Paul intellectually contorted and contradicted himself !
We don`t demand perfection, just simple common sense.
Paul lost it, we`re calling him out while you suspend your cognitive abilities to defend him.
Okay, so now I'm really confused. He didn't vote for Hagel in committee because he wanted more info. He doesn't get the info he asked for; so, he votes to make the guy SecDef. What???
Okay, I admit to being someone who was interested in Rand Paul for future, higher office. Now, wondering if he actually does hold any definite positions; or, if he is just another politician who takes us on a ride, and then does exactly the opposite of what he has been telling people for years after he gets elected.
A NO vote was a no brainer. Paul just contradicted his own political philosophy and it is inexplicable.
That is what got me. If you will filibuster to get more
information to make a decision and then when you are refused you go ahead and vote yes???
Doesn’t make sense to me.
I agree.
makes total sense.
it was a sham.
let the rage quiet.
cut backroom deals (guarantee military pork)
(fr being down did not help)
and vote the way the country club was going to vote for their member.
It’s like a spouse that’s faithful, well mostly faithful.
It depends where you disappoint! Something this major is not the place to play renegade. Have you ever looked at McCain’s record? He gets decent C scores because on the majority of non-issues, he votes Republican. On the important decisions, he votes RAT.
What an idiot. The Senate isn’t supposed to rubber-stamp candidates. They are supposed to protect We the People from the bad ones.
Yes they’re disappointing but still far better than the alternative. Too bad so many cave to the libtards.
Notice how she catches the chair that is thrown! Way to go momma.
Rand Paul, you just destroyed your chance for the GOP nomination.
I hope you think the Hagel vote was worth it.
Nice logical fallacy/straw man. Study under the messiah in the WH?
‘He`s not perfect ‘. NO vote was a no brainer. If Paul screws up Art. II Sect. II Par: II after Hagel proved himself totally incompetent and inept as well as an anti-semite then he`s perfectly wrong and we have to question his fundamental contradictions which either makes him a RINO ( best case scenario) or intellectually dishonest.Perhaps mentally unstable or political blackmail if the first two are plausibly explained away.
Well, come on, give us more than that. And maybe without slurring Para-Ord, and especially without cursing Christ?
So you're not defending Paul but you don't see him as a RINO. What do you see him as? A principled conservative who made this one mistake? Why would he do that?
I think Paul is a slithery little opportunist who is oh-so-coyly testing the Presidential waters and who, like Obama or Clinton or Christie, will say and do anything that will net him a vote.
But I'm not going to call you the Debbil because you see him otherwise.
You are the writer and commentator. Give us something to hang some understanding on ourselves. To attack a not immoderately pissed-off poster and then duck just isn't enough, especially from one as venerable (and voluble) as yourself.
Did you see this?
I am so nauseated.
