If anything, Rand Paul got in brief trouble in his campaign by speaking too plainly about Constitutional principles. He obviously comes to his conservatism via a Constitutionalist-libertarian prism, and he’s been about as strong in acting on his principles as any of our Senators or Congresscritters in this still-young term.

The writer is totally off base here.

You really need to look at the talking points orchestration. Republicans, including Rand Paul, have decided on a fiscal conservative identity. That's what they're selling. That's what you're going to get from them.

If anything, Rand Paul got in brief trouble in his campaign by speaking too plainly about Constitutional principles. ... he’s been about as strong in acting on his principles as any ...

Now that Constitutional rule has collapsed, I guess that statement says it all. It doesn't however show how the writer is off base - just the opposite.

Just want to clarify: What you’ll get from them is a self-described “fiscal conservative” PR job. See article for further description of fiscal conservatives.

Rand isnt a RINO....he’s a radical libertarian who pals around with traitors.
