Rand Paul has gotten the whispers in the ear: support these people and we will support you!
And he’s a fool, because he’ll be betrayed by these people down the line.
Rand Paul started off pretty good when it comes to the company he keeps (I never trusted the guy though). However, he's gotten worse and worse as time goes on. I'm glad I didn't drink the "Rand Paul is our savior" kool-aid back when it was popular to do so.
Ironically this latest "unofficial" endorsement (playing footsie with Lamar) isn't making Lamar! look more conservative, its making Rand look LESS conservative.

No kidding. Cotton1706 makes a valid point that he's been opposing Lamar as well, but most of the self-proclaimed "Tea Party leaders" in this country won't give Carr the time of day, while they CONSTANTLY tout "Obama's conservative cousin" in Kansas. I have to question their priorities.
