Yes, pretending that this thread is a Rand Paul quote is nonsense, I don't know how he feels on the question, but to pretend that as a spokesmen for a presidential candidate in 2007 when he was saying HE thinks, HE believes to the audience is not relevant to anything.
And Robert Gibbs is a Reagan Conservative. When a candidate says he has the same "principles" as his father, I take him at his word. Case Closed.
