I agree, I never claimed Rand Paul was anything but a conservative. I just realize and agree with him that the President gets to decide who he wants to be in his cabinet. Being a veteran and a former or sitting Senator are requirements enough.
I don’t like MOST of O’Bumbler’s appointments, but he is the President, God Help Us!
I heard this on the Beck show- and I was VERY uncomfortable with it. I wonder of Rand knows that we have a representative republic- and that we don’t send these idiots to DC to further their career- but to SERVE us.
He kept blabbing on and on about what HE wanted to do.. blah- blah..
I kept yelling at the radio, “What did your constituents tell you to do??”
I had just begun to pay attention to him, and now I am highly uncomfortable with this guy.
Sarah Palin's endorsement [in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary] gave us a boost that energized supporters, brought in new ones, and, of course, annoyed my opponent and his Republican bosses to no end.
In talking to Palin, one of the primary things I wanted to do was allay her fears about social issues, telling her, "My opponents call me a libertarian but I want to assure you that I am pro-life." Palin responded, "Oh, we all have a little libertarian in us."
I do not apologize for believing there is too much government involvement in the private lives of Americans. Trying to portray me or my father as not pro-life--or saying I want to legalize heroin, or prostitution, or making other outlandish claims-- are smears Republican establishment types have always attempted. This race would be no different. One could make the argument that if sincerity is measured by proposed legislation, my dad is arguably the most pro-life member of the House.
Yes, I just pinged you since you and I seem to be the only ones defending Paul on this thread. :)
