"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Rand, I’m not interested in your opinion on anything.

In fact, the sooner you are gone, the better.

[Timber Rattler]

Rand Paul has become Mitch’s rent boy.

“Rand Paul: McConnell is no Arlen Specter”

What a ringing endorsement, kinda like he’s saying Mitch is no better than a Benedict Arnold.

“...for an opponent to beat him, they’ll have to prove somehow that he’s not a conservative.”

Are you serious, Tea-Party-elected Rand Paul? McConnell never met a debt ceiling he didn’t want to raise. There. Proven. Elect Matt Bevin.

Flushing out the RINOs. Buh bye Rand.

I’d call Mich McConnell a Chuck Schumer in drag. McConnell is a sleazy weasel.

"...for an opponent to beat him, they'll have to prove somehow that he's not a conservative."

Setting the bar pretty low.

Paul, however, said McConnell's vote doesn't mean conservatives should rally behind Bevin. "Sometimes people don't always agree on tactics or deals, and I haven't always agreed with Senator McConnell," he said. "But I was of mixed feelings whether [Cruz's effort] was worthwhile, if we weren't going to actually add anything to it, if it was just self-inflicted punishment."

And yet he did not vote to end the filibuster, so be must have decided that the effort was worthwhile. Why is he being mealy-mouthed now?
