“Otherwise, his protestations not withstanding, his so-called Tea-Party credentials don’t mean squat.”

I think Paul’s playing a very shrewd game. I think he’s got his eye on the presidency and is doing what needs to be done. With him as the executive, he can (and I believe will) turn back a lot of this stuff. And if we can all vote for McCain and Romney, we can all certainly vote for Paul.

I don't think he is shrewd at all.

He's pandering to voting blocks vs. standing on principle.

He is selling out to the GOP-E on policies important to conservatives though:

1. His own Amnesty plan.
2. Putting Social issues on the back-burner.
3. Extremely weak on Foreign Policy
4. Supporting a horrible GOP-E candidate in McConnell over a up and coming principle tea-party candidate in Matt Bevin.

Sorry, those aren't actions of a "shrewd" statesman, but the actions of a conniving Politician that will do almost anything to get elected.

With each passing month, he sounds and acts more like Mitt Romney.

And, BTW, though I voted for McCain because of Palin, I did not and will not vote for another sell-out like Mitt Romney.

Sadly, if Rand Paul continues on the trajectory he is on, there won't be a dime's worth of difference between him and Romney.
