Rand Paul is a smart fellow. He realizes that the “birther” movement has been marginalized by the media, and to publically go along with them is to invoke the cries of “racism” and “nationalism” that would cost him an election before it starts.

Any politician engaged in a**kissing the msm can kiss mine.

Sorry to be blunt but catering to the MSM and elite political class is the perfect way to continue on the path to tyranny.

Fewer and fewer people even watch the MSM or believe it.

What we need is courageous leaders - remember the word “statesman”? - who have the courage of their convictions. Who care more about principles - the Constitution - than their own personal ambitions.

More professional politicians with their fingers in the wind are precisely what we DON’T need. Up to here with them already, and they either lose or are worthless bags of crap if they win, since they are too afraid to be real opposition.

Exactly.

Unfortunately, the peanut gallery has lit their torches and brought out the pitchforks.

For people who claim to be pro-Constitution, they seem to want to invoke mob rule quite often.
