Give it a rest, would you please. I think it’s quite obvious Rand has let down quite a few people.
By all accounts, there are 40 other Senators that need to be put out to pasture (I haven’t of Lee/etc. taking a stand yet) and deserve the same condemnation.
It’s ‘unfortunate’ that some of these same back-stabbers were just recently re-elected soundly. IMHO, by ‘low information/party-above-all’ hack voters
So many of our little Republican primary voters though are so uninformed that they think Cruz and Paul vote alike on everything important. Not so
“I’d definitely put Jeff Sessions up there.”
Yes that’s true. He has almost singlehandedly stopped “comprehensive immigration reform.”
They stopped him from becoming a federal judge, but then he got elected to the senate.
Rand Paul is running as the anti-Republican. His goal is to destroy the Republican Party. Paul’s goal is to split the Party and take it over, by depressing voter turn out. Paul is trying to position himself as the Democrat’s Republican.
No, I won't - and while it's obvious to some, it's not obvious enough to enough ..

There are not 40 other senators with cult like followings who are being touted by their cultists as the only answer for the GOP. So you lose on that point. And FTR Mike Lee has taken plenty of stands .but remember, I'm not condeming Paul for the right stands he has not taken, I'm slamming him for the wrong stands he HAS taken.

I would agree with that, and in fact, I worked very hard to try and prevent that form happening in SC.
Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Jeff Sessions, maybe David Vitter, are the only U.S. Senators whom you can count upon to stand for truth. Bob
Can someone explain something to me: What if I was to write in Ted Cruz’ name on the ballot, if it doesn’t appear? How does this work?
Ronald Reagan: Best vote I ever cast in my life.
Ted Cruz: Second best vote I ever cast in my life.
ROGER THAT! Couldn’t agree with you more.
I don’t know. It differs with the various states. You have to check with your state elections supervisor. All I know is that if I don’t see his name and I can’t write it in, then screw the Republican Party - I’ll just not vote.
Looking at the polling results, Paul is at the top and Cruz is at the bottom.
So, it’s going to be up to us, We the People, to change that and put Cruz on TOP.
Instead of rehashing this, forget about it and move on. We don’t have time for this kind of commentary. We have learned from this, and now we have bigger fish to fry.
Then it’s going to be up to us, We the People, to get the word out, with facts and figures, that Paul is not a Conservative. And that Ted Cruz IS.
I honestly feel that the GOP has to be shocked out of its appeasement and pandering to greedy profiteers attitude. We do NOT need these illegals to make this country run. And if they are given Amnesty, they no longer are profitable for the greedy - why can’t they see this?
First thing they need to do is retire Karl Rove. The next is fire all those so-called conservative pundits on TV (or at least disavow them).
Go look at my home page. I’m scorched earth. I don’t care about the Republican Party any more. I want ideals, honesty and values - not second-tier leisure of the privileged.
You're not making any sense
in some posts, you are a big Ted Cruz backer. And yet, you don't want us to keep taking the shine off the phony Rand Paul image. Don't you understand? Rand is running hard against Ted - while Ted is running against liberal Democrats. This is not re-hash. This is still pertinent info right now, and will be for many many months. It will be until Rand endorses Cruz, period.
IMO Rand Paul believes that he cannot win the GOP nomination without the GOP leadership backing so he is going all in with them in order to get nominated. I am now wary of Rand Paul for President not only due to his immigration position but he just seems to want to be President too badly.
You should not want to be President its a thankless job. You should only run for President because you believe you can help the country.

It seems all the Senate Republicans are willing to turn a blind eye to the scandal and corruption obviously at play in the Mississippi Senate race
Snip
One senator, however, has broken the silence and is speaking out. Yes, one. Only one. Senator Ted Cruz, who, ironically, holds an official position with the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the group at the center of these nasty allegations. Cruz has described the Mississippi fiasco as appalling and called for a vigorous investigation of possible criminal conduct in an interview with Mark Levin.
