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.

lol
The old saw about flak when over the target comes to mind...
I certainly think that a lot of them have been there way too long.......I’m a proponent of term limits.........
Bill Kristol is left of Obama on every issue. He’s a laughing stock.
Who cares what he thinking anymore?
FOX better refresh its lineup.

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.
More like Rand is flouting the Gope.
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.
William F Buckley must be spinnin’.
Shut up and go away, Bill.
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.
Bill who?
I agree........
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?
