He certainly fought hard to keep his own paycheck.

No money for troops, but money for Paul!

Dirtbag.

Correct. He’s a fiscal purist, except when it threatens his own salary.

Thune needs to strip him of whatever committee appointments he holds if possible.

Paul voted nay because he wanted a guarantee of a change in the bill regarding hemp.

That has got to be one of the most idiotic puerile and stupid things I have read in a long time.

VOTE FOR THE DAMN BILL, PAUL!

That little weasel has the habit of being disagreeable for no reason that I can see other than wanting attention.

“Paul voted nay because he wanted a guarantee of a change in the bill regarding hemp”

complete nonsense: i heard Rand said he voted to keep the government shut down until Arby’s reduced the salt content in their real steak chunks ...

But he made sure he would get paid even though he refuses to pay the working class. What a world class hypocrite!

I bet MTG votes for this bill.

I’m waiting for what bullsh!t “Massie” comes up with to vote against.

Congressman Ron Paul, Rand’s father, was also a lonely , principled dissident. Almost alone he opposed the American military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. His eloquent , reasoned speeches and votes were ridiculed at the time. Yet if you read those speeches Mr. Paul was remarkably prescient and accurate on the outcomes of those interventions and the detrimental effect they would have on America. Perhaps Rand Paul has concluded that a fully functioning Federal conglomerate is more harmful to the country and its people than one that is largely shut down.

Our initial strategy was correct in the aftermath of 9/11.

Our special forces worked closely with The Northern Alliance. We shouldn't have sent ground troops to Afghanistan.
