Rand Paul might soon go down as the Republican who saved Obamacare — and he couldn’t care less.
"I'm actually happy to be out there as the leading advocate for repealing Obamacare, not keeping it," the Kentucky Republican said in an interview. Of his GOP colleagues, Paul added: "These people, they so totally do not get it."

Rand Paul is an anarchist who has no place in a sensible debate.
The vast majority of the people who supported him and his crazy father voted for Hellary
Speak for yourself, wingnut loon. The Republicans lost to a Kenyan rabble rouser.
Rue Paul should get a banana for saving Obamacare.
Its a binary decision, a-hole. Keep Obamacare or get rid of it. Period.
Yep, he is no different than those Dreamers in Pelosis face - politics does not work so well when you are all or none.
LindseyCare = ObamaCareLite
The Establishment (including Lil’ Lindsey) is doing their best to keep Govt Healthcare...just a different messenger this time.
At least Rand Paul wants to eliminate state lines to move toward a free market system with less govt intrusion.
It’s not rocket science...a-hole.
I heard him discussing his concerns yesterday on Hannity’s show. His concerns were very valid.
Gramnesty is just morphing it to another abomination.
Just repeal the damned thing.
“Rand Paul is an anarchist who has no place in a sensible debate.”
That’s a ludicrous assertion from a Republican party man.
He’s one of the few in that chamber with any integrity whatsoever. The bulk of them are pure, refined, toilet scum.
There is no repeal to reject.
Given what has been going on this year there are not the votes for what Rand would consider a replacement. The result of his stance is the status quo with ObamaCare with what appears to be bailouts of the insurance being proposed by Sen Alexander (R-TN). Whether that is right or wrong is a different question.
And what do you think they've been trying to do. It's not like Rs have a solid majority. I don't understand people like you and Rand Paul. It's easy to say "repeal the damned thing", but if the votes are not there and they won't be there anytime soon, can we at least get some kind of repeal and replace! We have to get the wind back in our sales. Sadly, OCare's approval numbers continue to rise as it remains (just like any free government program). What does this clown Rand Paul thinks he can get? The other Senators are not his clones.
YEah, right Randy! If they repeal it, you won’t be out in front anymore.
As we say in engineering...”Better is the enemy of good enough!”
Rand is right. The latest bill is not an Obamacare repeal. It is an attempt by worthless and gutless Rinos to shove the responsibility of repealing Obamacare down the throats of states. Anything dreamed up by Linda Graham can’t be anything but BS. This has nothing whatsoever to do with libertarianism. It’s simply another way the Rinos are trying to avoid their campaign promises without seeming to.
So they morph it and say they’re done and we’re stuck with it forever.
That’s your plan?
How typical of the GOP to claim this is "good" for anyone - it's like in the bad old days when the dims ran everything and wanted to tax the rich 75%, then the Bob Michel/Bob Dole GOP held out until the dims agreed to only tax the rich 50% and then agreed, telling the folks back home, that was the best they could do, that "they weren't going to allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good!"
Sad to see the GOP still playing the same old, "play it again Sam," as if we're back in the '70's and 80's.
Rand Paul is the only consistant Republican. You cannot eliminate socialism at home while supporting war and intervention abroad like Lindsey Graham. I am not very enthusuastic about repealing Obamacare while the US military and taxpayers are subsidizing socialism in Europe, Asia and Israel. If the US taxpayer is going to provide a social safety net, I’d rather provide it for fellow Americans than for foreigners.
