Rand Paul: Try, Convict and Lock Up Terrorists In Guantanamo

BOWLING GREEN, KENTUCKY – Leading United States Senate candidate Rand Paul today criticized the Obama administration’s decision to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center and try terrorism suspects in United States Civil Courts.
“Foreign terrorists do not deserve the protections of our Constitution,” said Dr. Paul. “These thugs should stand before military tribunals and be kept off American soil. I will always fight to keep Kentucky safe and that starts with cracking down on our enemies.”
Dr. Paul believes in strong national defense and thinks military spending should be our country’s top budget priority.
Rand Paul has expressed opposition to parts of the patriot act. I think his concerns are resonable.

Rand Paul had this to say about Guantanamo Bay:
“Foreign terrorists do not deserve the protections of our Constitution,” said Dr. Paul. “These thugs should stand before military tribunals and be kept off American soil. I will always fight to keep Kentucky safe and that starts with cracking down on our enemies.”
He doesn’t support ‘torture’ or enhanced interrogation. I part ways with him on that but unlike our liberal friends he isn’t about assigning terrorists lawyers and sending them to NY. He is a constitutionalist and we need more of those.
Check for yourself. I’m more scared of radical socialist liberals and milktoast Republicans than anything Rand Paul believes.

Yes, Rand Paul has repeated the same Al Qaeda type things that his father has said. However, in recent weeks Rand has walked back some of these more outrageous comments.
