I agree. Ross Perot gave us Justices Ginsburg and Breyer.

Those who (understandably but wrongly) “sat on their hands” in 2008 rather than vote for shitty John McCain, already have given us Sotomayor and Kagan.

Even if I have to vote for a RINO like Willard, I will. (But don’t misunderstand. I will try first to get a CONSERVATIVE nominated instead.)

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"

I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.
