That if he would have taken a hard line stance the media would be crucifying him right now.
Like all politicians... Don’t judge by what they say, but by what they do.
What did Paul do? He penned a Senate Bill that pins the protection for life to conception. Completely guts prophylactic abortion and even extends to protecting the life of a child started under rape and incest without having to step in the tar pit the liberal media has used to torpedo other conservative politicians. The “exceptions” he mentions are the case-by-case “Mother will die” type medical procedures that no one in their right mind would rule out.
Pure. Genius.
And yet he still takes a double ration of crap here because of who his DAD is. My Dad and I disagree on a large number of things. Why would the Paul’s be any different?
I don’t equate Ron to Rand. They are certainly different beasts. My father and I are similarly different in many ways: he likes cars, I prefer computers; I like to hunt, he likes to fish.
I do not fundamentally disagree with Paul’s stance. I was making the case that someone who stands by their principles will have no problem defending them. I don’t disagree that Paul had to make the best of a bad situation, and I believe he navigated the CNN minefield quite well.
