Remember when Rand Paul was running in the primary?? He painted himself as an "outsider" who did not believe in "big government" and taxpayer bailouts. Since that time he has proven himself to be quite a hypocrite and a far cry from the fiscally responsible candidate he convinced his supporters he was. From crawling into bed with Mitch McConnell to raise funds, to wanting businesses to discriminate the real Rand Paul started to stand up. Now after he and McConnell enjoyed their after love-making cigarette, Rand Paul is crawling into bed with another unsavory character.
Yes, now Rand Paul is having a whole new love affair. Let us hope that Mitch McConnell is not jealous. Now, Rand Paul is crawling into bed with none other than Jeb Bush, brother of disgraced former President George W. Bush.
But wait, I thought that Rand Paul "opposed" all the bailouts for the bankers. Mitch McConnell was all for throwing taxpayer dollars at the bankers, $700 billion to be exact. And all for the actions of Jeb Bush's brother who crashed the economy and called for the bailouts in the first place. Since birds of a feather flock together how can we really believe that Rand Paul opposes this activity??
And you see, Jeb Bush is no stranger to bailouts and neither is his family. His brother as we all know caused and spearheaded the bailouts just before the last Presidential elections and as it turns out this family and Jeb Bush are not new to bailouts and robbing the taxpayers with them. Remember the S&L crisis of the 80s? Yes, Jeb Bush was right there then and robbed the taxpayer till quite handsomely...

Well he’s no Mark Kirk, Mike Castle, or Lindsay Graham. He’s far better than Jack Conway on the Constitution. We know Jack will be a reliable Obama vote when needed.
Yup - That’s as far as I needed to dig to dismiss this Pravda post.
He is sure better than the Romney loving, Palin hating, Trey Grayson, who started with a 20 point lead and then disintegrated into a rino loser as the people learned more about him.
“Paul leads Grayson among pro-lifers by a 50%-32% margin. Grayson leads Paul among pro-abortion Republicans by a 42%-27% margin.
Conservatives, Christians, social conservatives, and the statewide Kentucky voting population support Rand Paul.
“Conservatives favor Paul by 51 percent to 29 percent with 16 percent undecided. Those who attend religious services regularly or occasionally favor Paul by double-digit margins. Gun owners back Paul 48 percent to 22 percent with 22 percent undecided.”
Rand Paul leads by double digits among men and women, among conservatives, pro-life voters, gun owners.
“Grayson leads today only among the 1 in 5 Republican primary voters who say they are pro-choice.”
Yeah sure, and after he gets Jeberized, then what?
Very disappointing, and I say put the Pauls on the RINO rack, and lower into the pit. (politically speaking, of course).
I would take a second look, if and only if, Rand starts calling out corruption that is the present GOP Leadership.
There is a BIG difference between saying that the Constitution does not give the government the right to ban private discrimination and saying that you want private businesses to discriminate.
Just because you defend someone’s free speech doesn’t mean that you agree with that speech.
LOL. For a McCain supporter you sound like the pot calling the kettle black. Rand Paul will make an outstanding senator.
What is required, if this Republic is to survive, is real, honest patriots, who denounce evil (as in corruption, and taking money from special interests).
As far as I'm concerned, the examples you present should, without exception, be going to jail for taking money and not representing the best interests of their constituents.
What kind of an idiot wrote this? Is Paul supposed to avoid other Republican leaders? How stupid.
I like Jeb -Florida did well with him at the helm...
LOL!

Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney are going to battle for the nomination, if not in 2012, then in 2016. :’)
I’m betting the Newbie is another of those types who don’t hold the Constitution in very high esteem.
No more Bushes. RINO’s are bad for our health.
Make it a cage match. Poisoned chainsaws. Put it on Pay-per-view.
This must have been written by Al Gore, formerly of Tennesse.
Ah, anse112, doing your part to unify the GOP base after the primary I see. I'm sure continuing to spit in the face of nearly 125,000 Kentucky Republicans who didn't choose your guy will somehow help in November. No doubt they'll be motivated to knocking on doors for Rand when you continually trash their candidate.
With supporters like you, Rand Paul doesn't need enemies.
bailing out banks is a disgrace
