Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Let me put some meat on the bones of your “stealth” attacks on Rand and Ted.
Rand is against all this foreign involvement including all the millions in foreign aid. That does NOT mean he is for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He’s just doing what libertarian types do. He also points out hypocrisy at every turn where he sees it, and it IS hypocritical of Obama to keep the Egyptian aid flowing to the Army wipeout of its enemies, while saying we have to get involved in Syria on the side that is taking the beating right now in Egypt. The whole thing is a monstrous MESS.
Ted has made clear that HIS objection to Obama on Egyptian aid is that an act of Congress says if there is a military coup against an elected government the aid must be cut off. He’s made clear he wants the law straightened out, instead of allowing Obama to violate the law. Change the law, so that if we want to continue aiding Egypt under their military rule it would not be illegal, which is what it is NOW.
Why must you show up to attack Rand and Ted? What does THAT do? Nothing good, that’s for sure.
They are both against what Obama and his GOP E toadies are doing about Syria. And that’s not all of the good they do, for instance against Obamacare.
