What whiny excuse?

Sounded whiny on first reading; that's why I used the descriptor. Remove the objectionable adjective whiny and my comment still stands. But you and I agree on the main things.

"Since Paul is so non-conservative"

You can say that as often as you lke but it does not make it true.

American Conservative Union rates Paul at 100% conservative.
Heritage rates Paul the third most conservative in the Senate 97%
Club for growth rates Paul 100%
National Right to Life Committee 100%
FreedomWorks 100%

more info here

I could continue. Paul is a solid conservate

So you want to disregard all of the revelations and discussions that we have had here for weeks, from his speeches and position statements, this is similar to what we saw with the romneybots, a man that Paul was also very supportive of.

Rand has taken positions of liberalism from issue to issue, from gay marriage, and the party platform on social issues, to immigration and foreign policy, even including abortion, something that you are well aware of, and pretending to not know, there is a reason that group after group, including pro-lifers have been shaken by what we are learning about Paul.

"Paul is doing his best to appeal across party lines. And I am with him. It is freedom that is the byword. With freedom comes everything else. Without freedom there is nothing."---"I think that there is no discussion, just attacks here. You are right, I have been trolling here at FR for 16 years just to annoy people like you. And people like you are the reason we are losing so many posters."

Why do you think JR opposes Paul, is it because he opposes "freedom"?

Every one in the GOP endorsed Romney. Paul waiting longer then most.

"Now the nominating process is over, tonight, I am happy to announce I am supporting Governor Romney." June 2012.

I did not vote McCain in 2008 over amnesty. I did vote Romney in 2012 because of "self deportation". I like Ann Coulter am pretty much a single issue voter and my issue is amnesty.

No they didn’t all endorse Mitt Romney, and Rand Paul was very early and enthusiastic and campaigned for Mitt Romney, endorsing him months before the convention, just as now Paul is campaigning for Susan Collins.

Rand Paul has been moving left for some time now and revealing his liberalism/libertarianism, and you are well aware of the growing rejection of him for that reason, as his politics come out into the open.

He is becoming something of a joke here at FR.

___________

I have no idea what JR thinks about Paul, but I think small government is conservative and I support Paul.

Since Paul is so non-conservative, isn’t he anti-small government?

He is running for president, as the most powerful man in the federal government, yet he has called for dropping opposition to gay marriage, and come out against social conservatism, he seems to have dropped his pro-life position, has come out as soft on the border, is joining with the race baiters and has an agenda to change the GOP platform like his man Mitt Romney, all BIG government.

Rand Paul is supporting big government, and has announced that he won’t be fighting gay marriage, which affects millions in the military, federal employment, and immigration, and which guarantees total gay marriage in America.

May 6, 2012 - Former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich endorsed Mitt Romney

May 7, 2012 - Rick Santorum Endorses Mitt Romney For President

May 16, 2012 - Businessman Herman Cain formally endorsed Mitt Romney

Apr 25, 2012 - Rick Perry formally endorsed Mitt Romney for president

Jan 16, 2012 - Jon Huntsman abandoned his once-promising campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday and endorsed Mitt Romney

Check the dates Paul waited until the issue was decided in Romney favor. All you have is spin and lies. I post FACTS.

Is that a joke? That is your defense for Rand Paul?

That was a long time ago.

Today Rand Paul is coming out as pro-abortion, with many exceptions, he does this as reveals his liberalism as he calls for ending the fight on gay marriage and social issues in general, for the GOP.

BLITZER: Well, it sounds like you believe in some exceptions.

PAUL: Well, there’s going to be, like I say, thousands of extraneous situations where the life of the mother is involved and other things that are involved.

So, I would say that each individual case would have to be addressed and even if there were eventually a change in the law, let’s say, the people came more to my way of thinking, it’s still be a lot of complicated things that the law may not ultimately be able to address in the early stages of pregnancy that would have to be part of what occurs between the physician and the woman and the family.

“If Collins loses, Harry Reid wins.”

You put it out there: explain the above ration of horse hockey to me, because the logic is missing.
