Maybe this Rino is learning a tough less. It may be too late though.

I’m glad to see Dr. Paul is fighting back instead of going all mealy-mouthed after he won the primary.

I WISH Rand Paul had smacked somebody in the media down; trouble is, he’s been reduced to jello by their collective chorus against him.

He’s like Ralph Kramden in the Honeymooners, when caught in one of his many misstatements: “hommina-hummina-hommina-hummina”...

Sorry, them’s the facts.

I am confident he will recover and go on offense; but he’d better pull some alinsky stuff on the MSM and the Dem NGOs (civil rights industrialists).

I would love an independent thinker who does not suffer fools lightly.

The 12th of Never.

Did he really expect anything different?

He needs to include his state as being villified by the DNC and their media.

I like you Rand but you stuck your foot in a load of crap here. Serves you right for thinking libs on MSNBC were your friends.

Stephie used the tried and true method of “have you stopped beating your wife?”. RP did the right thing by not answering the question but addressing the issue nevertheless. Thank goodness SOMEONE finally threw the former KKK kleagle, Robert Byrd, back in their face when responding to charges of racism.

Exactly running to MS-NBC thinking they will like him shows he is in the same vein as McCain and Graham.

At some point the “moderates”, “mavericks” and “out-siders” will learn the media only loves them, and thinks they’re cute & funny, when a weapon is needed to defeat a hated Republican.

He needs to watch and emulate the lady who endorsed him, Sarah Palin.

I agree. Rand Paul made a terrible mistake, he tried to go for an ideological debate with liberals. Liberals don’t debate, and they don’t respect opposing viewpoints. Paul gave the smear machine ammo. The SCM has been on this non stop. Morning Joe basically dedicated their morning show to this.

I believe Rand Paul is correct in this instance. Philosophically, I agree with him. But when he thought he was debating ideas, he actually picked a fight with a evil, desperate opponent.

“Exactly running to MS-NBC thinking they will like him shows he is in the same vein as McCain and Graham.”

That’s harsh. I know McCain and Graham would ditch principle in order to be accepted by the SCM. Those two desire to be loved above all else.

I don’t think that’s the case with Rand Paul, I could be wrong, but I think he naievely believed that MSNBC would be fair with him because he’s a libertarian, and was not favored by McConnell.

With communists it’s party first. We’ll see if Rand Paul can be taught.

Graham is still on their good list. They are disappointed with McCain for his recent conversion to conservatism.

But these libertarians don't realize that since they are a threat to democrats socialist plans they are considered much more more dangerous to liberalism than RINOs. Now they will see how liberals operate as they try to destroy Paul.
