Bill Kristol Attacks attacks Rand Paul for running ‘to the left of the Obama administration’

On “Fox News Sunday,” Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol echoed an editorial he wrote this week slamming Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul for suggesting at the Conservative Political Action Conference that the “GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered.”

“I think it is the Republican Party, to the degree that it has been a successful party and an important party and a contributor to American well-being over the last 50, 60 years, has been so in large part because it has been the party of strong national security,” Kristol said. “Republicans were not — you can say they are moss-covered, but some of us are proud to have come to Washington to work in a very minor role for Ronald Reagan, and some of us are proud to have supported the Bush administration after 9/11, and fighting our enemies.”

What’s ol Billy boy been smoking? Maybe too much “crystal!”

[sagar]

These fiscal liberals are squealing.

Well said.

Pretty soon, we'll see the usual suspects here, ginning up hatred for Rand Paul. Claiming to be 'purist conservatives', and how Rand Paul did this or that, and so he's a bushnazi.

You see. They know how to stop us from coalescing around a candidate. They've done it every election.

Or he'll be a RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesse Jackson will lead a march, 'trusted anchors' will tut and look disapprovingly. People will say "there's no smoke without fire". "I don't know why, but I just don't trust that man."

Kristol is an old RINO.

He has lost all relevance.

Two words, Bill:

Arab. Spring.

And two more:

Go. Away.

Thanks to the Republican Party, we are where we are today. Consultants, politicians and former politicians continue to do well, though. Hell with the average working American. Thanks for nothing, Bill Kristol! You are exactly what is wrong with the party. And you are not even funny.

[ptsal]

Billy Kristol.... is exactly what is wrong-headed and screwed-up in the Republican Party. What a losing creep.

Media Mossbacks comprise the FNS lineup. Stale, boring, and wrong. Time for Mike Wallace’s zygote and the entire cast to go.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Kristol and Rove both need to sit down and STFU. Who even listens these boobs anyway?

[LadyJMayo]

Kristol jumped the shark last November IMHO. He needs to slink off into the sunset with Tokyo Rove.

[personalaccts]

I haven’t watched Fox or anything else since Nonember 7th

[editor-surveyor]

Kristol has zero room to talk about “Left” anything.

I’ve discovered Netflix on my BluRay. First House of Cards (Extraordinary!) and now making my way through Psyche - which I love.

I too got sick of it all after the election - I felt like we were all played for profit. I think Newsbusters cares more about what Chris Matthews says than the handful of viewers at MSNBC.

Bill Who???? Didn’t he pass away with Al Hunt and Elanor Clift??????

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften [immigration, gay marriage] stance]

• One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

Republican Senator Rand Paul has drawn an indelible line in the sand for all to choose which side to stand on the Limits of Presidential Power.

Kristol has chosen, by his words, to do what all good Royalists have always done: showcase their unwavering public support of THEIR KING.

20 % of our forefathers were Royalists in our Revolutionary War.

Royalists were loyal to the King of England, and firmly believed in the credo: “ My King, right or wrong.”

Bill Kristol would have been content as a Royalist from start to finish of our Revolutionary War.

Kings easily become tyrants with increased power.

It seems that the more mentally unbalanced the tyrant, the more tyrannical he becomes.

I seriously doubt that true-blue Royalists such as Kristol, can ever reach a limit to their tolerance of what their King would ever chose to do.

Kristol chose to never, ever doubt that his King Obama is now, or ever could become a tyrant.

Royalists, especially those in the Media, such as Editor Kristol, do not understand what Constitutional Checks and Balances are meant to do.

I seriously doubt that Kristol ever will understand Constitutional Checks and Balances.

Kristol had done the GOP a great favor by starkly showing that the Royalists in the GOP are really Tyrant B. Hussein Obama’s best friends.

Let the long-awaited purge of the GOP Elite Royalists begin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
