RAND PAUL On Shutdown: I won't back endless deficits or Biden-era spending levels
X ^ | Oct 2 | Sen. Rand Paul

Posted on 10/02/2025 8:37:19 AM PDT by RandFan

@SenRandPaul

I joined @LlamasNBC on @NBCNews and made it clear:

I refuse to add $2 trillion more to the debt, no matter which party demands it. Republicans and Democrats both flip-flop for politics. I won't back endless deficits or Biden-era spending levels.

“Republicrats”: It’s all one party putting on a show with a small minority of outliers who go their own way, powerless except for when one vote can win or lose an important vote.

Followers on social media.

You can’t count them the same way the Democrats count votes.

Rand’s six million followers should be taken as seriously as Biden’s 81 million votes in 2020.

I think Randy and St. Thomas of Spooge are the two biggest grifters in Washington.

He passes nothing that benefits Americans. He opposes everything in the name of purity.

That is not how the American system works. It’s fine if he doesn’t like it, but he should give back all his ChiCom money and make room for someone who can actually help the American people.

Now, if you can name me 5 pieces of legislation that he introduced that GOT PASSED, I’ll gladly retract.

Maybe but stopping the CR is not where to do it. The house and senate do not pass normal budget bills. They should be passing budget bills no later than March of each year.

Are you thinking he will run for presidency in 2028 and win. There’s a reason I call it mental masturbation.

Why has he riled you?

Because he has always thought, just like his pop, that they know better than any one else and refuse to admit that good is OK because they both want what they define as perfect.

Rand is even more pompous than his old man which is why I have repeatedly said that I can understand his neighbor kicking his ass off of his high horse.

He is still a great eye surgeon {which is what he should have been doing for all of his time wasted in the senate}.

He could have saved hundreds of people's sight instead of pissing down his blind pompous leg.

So Senator Rand Paul and Rep Thomas Massie are useless sponges because they don’t along with Trump’s RINO inconsistencies? I’m sorry but did he not run on a platform of effective efficient government small L and R?.
He’s had all year to come up with a sound coherent policy of strategy that fulfills his campaign promises that he ran on instead like his predecessor (ZerO)-three three term President Barock Obama he kicked the can down road to where once again his back is against the wall and he’s having to be on defense.
If Trump were a true harden Patriot he’d rally Massie, Paul and other like minded Patriots to the White House in developing a decisive legislation that restores American economics.
Instead though he’s got MAGA Con Con INC, RINOs, NWO deep staters+ office seekers telling him whatever he wants to hear while the bottoms falls out those are real sponges.

That’s not simply not true and how come you’re not harping on Trump to do the same?
He’s got the pen and the executive order at his will Elon Musk, gave him the keys to mint with the DODGE disclosures most of which can closed by executive order rather than legislative fiat budgetary process.

So you’re saying political violence on a fellow Patriot is justified because he doesn’t cow tow to the RINO establishment.
In age of heightened assassination attempts and assassinations Wow dude

Well, I wish he also respected the fact that you can turn a full oil tanker on a dime.

I've said it multiple times that any arrogant, pompous prick like rand paul, deserves a good ass whipen and I'm positive that he was just as arrogant around his neighborhood.

You call it political violence, it could have been a neighbor that just had enough of Rand Paul's big mouth.

He never misses a chance to look down his nose at other people and I'd bet he was just the same at home.

He is an arrogant prick and I cannot stand him, regardless of how he votes.

No, this is wimping out.
“A sound program” is NOT sound if you cannot get anyone else to support it. It’s a pious, “I’m perfect” approach. That’s not American politics, never has been.

If Trump were a true patriot, he’d get these two purist losers out of there and get in someone who can actually make life better for the American public.

My sort of conservative is one who makes the country better, even if it isn’t “pure” or 100% in line with my principles.

A 90% law that is passed is better than a 100% that never sees the light of day. Our entire system is based on compromise, going all the way back to the drafting of the Constitution and the battle over Hamilton’s fiscal policy.

No one rep at the Constitutional Convention was on the right side of every vote, and not one was on the wrong side of every vote, showing they understood the desperate need to actually DO something rather than act pious, which is all Randy and St. Thomas do.

But you know better than me the internal politics of the GOP and Rand/Massie come from a Goldwater wing of the party and though not in the ascendency at the moment has always been prevalent

And who knows, one of them might win the nomination some day and you’ll have to bend to their will for “the good” of the party

Anarcho??? Well, I do carry and will shoot to protect my life and or lives of those I love, so I accept your congrats.

Listen, newbe, you cannot upset me by calling me names.

Rand Paul is a senator and a great eye surgeon, but, in my opinion, he is an arrogant prick and his ass whippen was OK with me.

As for you, you pip-squeak name caller, ESAD.

No, not a traitor merely an irrelevant zealot.

He knows damn well he doesn’t matter and is basically just a worthless man masquerading as a US Senator pretending to be relevant
