Paul has been the surrender monkey on this issue for weeks. He is not helping anymore than Roberts helped defeat Obamacare, as many here believed.

That doesn't seem to be the case.

Rand Paul backs Ted Cruz on Obamacare

9/24/13 5:36 PM EDT Updated: 9/24/13 7:10 PM EDT

"Rand Paul is standing with Ted Cruz.

The Kentucky GOP senator will oppose a vote to end debate later this week on a House-passed spending bill, which includes a provision defunding Obamacare, a spokeswoman said. Cruz (R-Texas) is urging Republican senators to halt the bill procedurally later this week to prevent Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) from removing the Obamacare provision and pushing a clean spending bill back to the House this weekend.

“Personally it’s not a good a idea to shut down the government. It’s also though, not a good idea to fund Obamacare,” Paul said aside Cruz.

But in backing Cruz, Paul will vote opposite Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, his state’s senior senator. "

Saw it live. Rand is a surrender monkey.

Bingo! Jim. He has been saying the same thing for over a week, people just haven't wanted to notice I guess.

Amnesty dance was enough t turn me off, but this should do it for any but the most loyal Party Line GOPe.

“Paul tried to sandbag Cruz. It certainly wasn’t a helpful “question.”

I think they’re strawmen to be knocked down.

Well, God bless his pea pickin’ heart. Wish he’d get amnesty right in his mind.

He was excellent Jim, but was it real or was it Memorex?

If #StandWithCruz is trending in Austin...Cruz’ mission is on target!

Cruz just subtly sniped McCain and his staffers. Good stuff.

Rand has a bad habit of wanting to be on all sides of every big issue. He did that with amnesty and now he doing it with kenyancare.
