Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. He'd have to become a Republican in order to become "just another" one. He, and Glenn, and Grover are all demagogues, all in on amnesty, and other than Glenn are pro-jihad -- although Glenn would/will change that position to boost his ratings.

Rand Paul embracing Norquest is similar to Gov Walker holding closed door meetings with the Chamber of Commerce Communism - i.e. both are leftwing RINO Establishment puppets.
