Bill Kristol Attacks attacks Rand Paul for running ‘to the left of the Obama administration’
Daily Caller ^ | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/17/2013 2:05:36 PM PDT by JohnPDuncan

On “Fox News Sunday,” Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol echoed an editorial he wrote this week slamming Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul for suggesting at the Conservative Political Action Conference that the “GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered.”

“I think it is the Republican Party, to the degree that it has been a successful party and an important party and a contributor to American well-being over the last 50, 60 years, has been so in large part because it has been the party of strong national security,” Kristol said. “Republicans were not — you can say they are moss-covered, but some of us are proud to have come to Washington to work in a very minor role for Ronald Reagan, and some of us are proud to have supported the Bush administration after 9/11, and fighting our enemies.”

Bill Kristol is left of Obama on every issue. He’s a laughing stock.

Kristol and the others are missing the key point: whether Rand Paul was correct or not is immaterial. The point is, unlike most of the wusses (or worse) in the GOP, Rand Paul stood and fought.

We are desperate for ANY Republican to confront Obama on any issue.

Finally, someone with balls. Instead of identifying the obvious, these ninnies nit-pick.

Oh, yes. Strong national security.

Allowing BO to destroy the military, allowing him and the NSA and State to get away with the Benghazi massacre and scandal.

They are the opposition party. what have they done for defense.

Kristol is pitiful. He lives in a dream world.

Visions of Leahy stammering and mumbling is the picture of all of these BO enablers.

Even if he did run to the left of Obama I doubt Paul would say screw the base, I wanna do what I wanna do.

The only real conservatives left in America seem to congregate here. Well, when they are not fighting liberal misogynists over at the Nymag that is.

Kristol symbolizes the permanent political class. I dont think Rand will lose any sleep over this.

I’m interested to know what Karl Rove said... the DC video cut off and I can’t stand watching these shows.. anyone?

it has been the party of strong national security

Subsiding first world nations does not the party of strong national security us make.

Providing missile defense, securing our borders, strengthening our navy and marines, and advancing our bombers, aircraft and drones - that's what we need to do. We should be able to make sheets of glass at will.
