It is not inconsistent with what has said in the past, especially on FNS.

When the Democrats have a Senate majority, how do you get rid of Obamacare?

Isn’t Rand Paul just stating the obvious?

The only way to get rid of it is if enough people refuse to sign up, especially young people who the administration is counting on.

“Aint it a bit early to show your hand?”

Reality check: everybody knows how this story will end.

Republicans do not have the numbers to defeat Obamacare at the moment.

Having said that, note that there are no quotes from Rand in the excerpt that was posted.

Also in the article:

“He says that working from the position of not funding the health care law might help render it, quote, “less bad.””

Cruz and Lee are his attack dogs. At the end of the day he’s just trying to negotiate from a position of strength and hopefully postpone/delay the obamacare implementation.

Only a republican president will sign the repeal.

I agree. Rand Paul doesn’t believe in the first amendment, after all.

It’s the first amendment that says: “or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

That’s the part that’s being appealed to.

There is a grievance...ObamaCare is killing the nation already and will complete the act after it gets funded.

We are raising our voices demanding, “Don’t Do It OR Face the Consequences!”

Rand apparently believes the people are inconsequential.

Find me a quote where Cruz, or Lee, EVER said anything different, that this CR would ever pass the senate.

Lee and Cruz said in a joint FOX interview, that obamacare would never be stopped in DC, given the odds, but they were counting on the American people to rise up, sign that petition and pressure their senators and representatives.

Lets not “rinse and repeat” stupid again, and start chopping up and dividing the base
on this already. We did this to one another last time.

The strategy is to rally the people, and not demoralize our only handful of heroes willing to fight.

The media wants Cruz, Lee and Paul to be foresaken by us.
