He probably actually read it all and would prefer something dar cleaner than the Republicans are proposing
Makes sense. Rand normally has a good reason for voting the way he does.
Don’t be fooled……
Republican games: always have just enough holdouts to keep conservative legislation from passing. It’s the game they play and the players sometimes rotate based on how many they need to allow it to fail.
They do the same thing to get Democrat legislation to pass.
The history is consistent while sometimes the players change. The goal, voters blame the few as opposed to the party itself.
If McCain hadn’t stopped the repealing of Obamacare, another would have taken his place. They chose him because MAGA voters already hated him. They will never stop playing us for fools because most of them hate us. Just look at the long history of these traitors. Most of the party are ‘Romneys’. The lack of results for decades proves that.
Why is Rand Paul among the traitors? Hmmmm???
Knowing Rand, he probably thinks they didn’t make enough cuts.
Rand Paul?
Seems unusual
Repukes aren’t going to hold the line. Just say, We won’t be discussing this any further. We have raised the debt ceiling by 1.5 trillion, hopefully Biden doesn’t veto but if he does, elections (stolen) have consequences. We knew he wasn’t ready to lead, that’s why we need a President in the white house who can stay up past noon. We had one who stayed up all night working for the American people, and quite frankly, we were in much better shape back then. (If the party were worth anything this would be the messaging).
We all want to know the names.
Too much pork ? Bet your ass...which is why Paul & co won’t play. Force it down Joe’s throat to.....or up his keister. Biden is weak...he could be beaten on this.
Concessions that will be won with some spending reductions is not enough for me, but OK in this 1st go-round.
Just because he didnt sign the letter doesn’t mean anything
I checked his twitter and website and nothing on this.
Maybe he thinks it isn’t as bold as it should be
Him and Lee are friends. I’m sure he supports anything which limits the debt
He’s hardly for uncontrolled spending, is he ? He has spent 12 years in the Senate railing against it !
RINOs and cowards.
Heh. Force him to publicly speak out for more spending, and have all the right reporters there. Meltdowns and incoherent babbling to follow. Expose the beast.
Good question deserves a good answer!
Doesn’t make sense...maybe a couple were actually absent.
So correct and ding ding ding, that is why elections will not fix shift….
Because they know cuts are done in the budgets. Because they know trump signed three debt increases with clean bills. That’s probably why.
“Don’t raise the debt ceiling at all”
I think Biden will allow an insignificant amount of cutting to make him look better to conservatives, and the conservatives will brag that they got their spending cuts.
Saw an article in a Smithfield, NC newspaper that a $300 million project to widen a stretch of I95 has been postponed for three years. Suppose that’s because we’re seriously out of money?
RE: Because they know trump signed three debt increases with clean bills. That’s probably why.
So, when are we going to get off this train?
Everytime we meet a debt ceiling, there’s a fight between Republicans and Democrats resulting in a shutdown. The media will always blame Republicans for it. They do this dance until the very last minute when the debt ceiling is reached. It doesn’t matter who the President is or which party is in charge of Congress.
Me too. I would almost guess than for Rand Paul he's against it because the cuts don't go deep enough.
