We don’t have to be supporters of Rand Paul to argue that the Iraqi and Afghani wars were badly played out. I believe that Bush entered them in good faith, but they were poorly executed, mainly due to trying to build democracies in their place. They honestly did NOT understand that the ME has NO IDEA what democracy is, nor is it touted very highly in the Quran. Had they done their homework, they’d have opted for a stealth takedown of the leaders that are the blame for the mess in the ME, then they’d have left the country to sort it out...sort of like what is happening now, but it’s much uglier than it needed to be.
As for Rand Paul, he started out talking conservative, a different breed than his dad, but he has “evolved, if you will, into a double-tongued freak. He seems to support both tea party and establishment, coming closer to the establishment all the time, and less tea party. He doesn’t want us to notice, of course, so he speaks like a conservative at the beginning of issues, then switches sides before he votes. He is a snake in the grass. I’ve been watching him because we have donated a lot to him, but NO MORE! LIke I said, he is a snake in the grass! Beware!
Voters across the political spectrum are fed up with global meddling and fed up with being spied on. We're fed up with NO ONE capable of quick action.
That gives an opening for Rand Raul. He's an ADHD type outlier, a real possibility with a "mad as hell" electorate. Unless some constitutional conservative comes forward and actually DOES something, the questionable sanity of Rand Paul could appeal to voters.
JMHO. I thought he had potential, but he's way too mainstream with the ptb to get things done.
