The sweeping re-election of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie proves moderates are an integral part of the Republican Party, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says.

“There’s room in the Republican Party for moderates, like Chris Christie. They seem to be the only ones that are winning in the Northeast,” Paul told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“The other thing that might happen in the Northeast if we had a little more libertarian-leaning Republicans, they would have a chance in the Northeast. But there’s room for moderates, like Chris Christie, and he’s got a place in the party.” …

Rand Paul started out strong, and has been corrupted along the way.

Paul is ruining any chances he had. He wants it too much and that is why he is corrupting himself.

Yeah, right up there with:

1. Supporting Mitch McConnell over the Tea-Party candidate
2. Proposing an alternative Amnesty Plan.

And, THIS is the reason why Rand Paul, like his father before him, will come to naught. Rand Paul appears to not understand just who and what elected the fat man to office. He was elected by libtards and independents, who have recognized Christie as who he is - one of them.

All it proves is that the Republican party no longer stands for anything just as most of the populace does not stand for anything. Once upon a time there was populace in Germany that supported a Nazi Party. People really are to stupid to vote for the continuation of there freedom. They really are too stupid to figure out deception from truth. They are too stupid to reason out spiritual matters and there reasons or to use mathematics in the determination of financial outcomes.

All this proves with Christie is that good people have been conquered. Only the insane remain. And it will not end well.

He’s doing this to be on the same ticket as Christie, should the repugnants decide to choose Christie as the next nominee.

Of course they have room for moderates. That’s who they are.

Things aren't always what they seem.

I'll categorize that with "Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining".

I give Paul credit for extending an olive branch. Christie is way too liberal for us, but he has proven uncommonly effective in ripping people new a$$holes. Paul is trying to build alliances and it would be good if Christie let out his venom outside the party.

Please read the article. The title of this is really misleading.

Among other things- Rand said the GOPe let Cuccinelli down/didn't provide support.

He said there was room for moderates in the republican party for the north east. It's not as bad as the title to this is making it sound. Read it.

First of all, the Democrats wanted Christie to win....Do you think if they really wanted to, they couldn’t take him down?

They want him to be the 2016 GOP nominee, because they know he will get crushed like a bug.
