.....But the truth as stated by Rubio.
As time goes on, a more clear picture emerges of Rand Paul. His positions are starting to resemble his fathers, even the nuttiness is starting to emerge.
And if someone's going to cast dispersions on me...
Did he really say something that ignorant, or is it just crappy reporting?
Nobody eats their own like the Republicans.
Difference between Cuba and Russia, Vietnam and China is proximity.
I’m no foreign policy expert and I can understand the merits of isolating a hostile country so close to the US. Who the heck is advising Paul?
Go ahead Paultards, try to elect this idiot of an idiot to the White House. You'll lose and you'll get either Hillary or Warren. If you support the idiot Rand Paul, you might as well vote for Jeb Bush or the Rommbat which also lose in the general election.
Paul tried hard to keep his conservative skirt down, but once in a while his libertarian slip shows.
Just more proof - as if any was needed - that the main goal of the Paul Bot nation - and their two fearless leaders - is to be different, to pick every little fight with other Republicans at every opportunity.
Its a cynical loser proposition....and intellectually bankrupt.
I think I feel a cry-baby tear welling up in my eye, not!
If you can’t stand the heat Rand, get out of the kitchen!
This comment from Paul seems to make sense. I sincerely ask for freeper wisdom as to what the reply to these words should be:
Paul has repeatedly punched back, taunting Rubio on social media and in an op-ed for Time Magazine, in which he said those who support trade with Russia, China, and Vietnam — but not Cuba — held “an inconsistent and incoherent position.”
Rand Paul will be a big problem for Karl Rove. Tokyo won’t know whether to promote his candidacy or kill it. Nice!
Rand Paul proves Marco Rubio’s point

December 20, 2014 by Paul Mirengoff
During an impassioned appearance on Fox News to denounce President Obama’s new Cuba policy, Marco Rubio stated, in response to a question that cited Rand Paul’s pro-Obama view on the subject, that Paul “has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to Cuba.” Having been called out, Paul had little alternative but to respond, and it would have been easy for him to so intelligently. There are, after all, respectable arguments that can be made in support of Obama’s position.
Predictably, however, Paul ended up proving that he doesn’t know what he’s talking on a scale that transcends Cuba policy.
Paul responded by accusing the Florida Senator of being an “isolationist.” Rubio wants to “retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat,” Paul taunted.
How stupid can Paul get? Rubio was merely advocating the continuation of a policy followed by American presidents for 50 years.
(Snip)
“I think trade might loosen things up and might help to topple the Castros.””
With the present leadership of the United States, both democrat and republican, this is just another event that leans the United States further left and nearer the it’s “topple” point. rubio is pro amnesty which is something ese pushing us to the “topple” point. PORP&MR.
It is amusing that Rand Paul accuses Rubio of the very faults that he, himself has exhibited in the past two years.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Two of my family doctors were Cuban. I remember how profoundly relieved and grateful they were that they'd managed to escape the Castro regime and were able to become U.S. citizens. I don't know the details of their experiences. I only know that for them it was like going from a dungeon to a mountaintop. With their stories in mind, I cried my eyes out when Clinton/Reno kidnapped Elián González and returned him to Cuba, especially in light of the fact that his mother had given her life in her attempt to attain liberty for her and her son.
According to several pundits I've heard over the past few days, the younger Americans of Cuban descent are not at all passionate about the plight of the current Cuban citizens and lean toward Zero's decision to normalize relations with the Castro thug brothers. Color me surprised that millennials wouldn't have the capacity to care about the plight of others -- even their own ancestors.
BTW, when I heard Ron* Rand Paul accuse Rubio of isolationism, I had to hold onto my chair to keep from falling out. Does the irony get any richer? Rand is trying to widen his appeal for a presidential run. He doesn't have that much concern for the events that will actually ensue as a result of Obambi's latest foreign policy move. He just wants to use the occasion to appeal to millennials and fence sitters (a.k.a. "independents") when he throws his hat into the 2016 ring.
*I often get them mixed up. Do you suppose that's because, in many ways, they're interchangeable?
I don’t like either one of them.
