BREAKING: Rand Paul To Shed Isolationist Image with Speech at National Defense University (VIDEO)
Economic Policy Journal ^ | August 3 2014 | Jay Stephenson

Posted on 08/03/2014 3:36:03 PM PDT by PoloSec

On CNN's Inside Politics, Politico’s Mike Allen reported on an new effort by Rand Paul to address the current view that he is allegedly an isolationist, reports Political Ticker.

Allen said on the show that Rand is planning a high-profile speech at the National Defense University this fall to address critics, and attempt to reposition himself on the foreign policy spectrum.

“He’s going to argue that he’s smack in the middle - the same place that George H.W. Bush was, that Reagan was, and that Ike was,” said Allen.

There will be a lot of truth in Rand's attempt to cast himself in this light. He is not at all like his father, who is against all US meddling in foreign affairs. George H.W. Bush-like is really where Rand is at.

The dude also does not know the burning in America right now.

That issue is Amnesty.

Where is his speech on amnesty?

George H.W. Bush-like is really where Rand is at.

Well. That certainly is a relief to know.

He’s his father’s son, which makes him essentially a freak. I still remember his repeating the claims of Democrats that Vice President Cheney supported the war in Iraq because of his financial interest in the oil industry (i.e., “Halliburton!”).

There were reasons to oppose that war, but anyone who screeches blood-for-oil charges cannot, in my view, be President.
