“I am glad to welcome my friend Rand Paul “
I have a problem on how the word “friend” is bantered around. I can count on one hand people I consider a friend. Not to mention I have no friends that are polar opposite of what my core beliefs are.
It’s a congressional thing.
I like Ted, but isn’t this a mild form of, “You have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.”
Ted will be running against Rand.
I’m not sure why the urge to welcome him in. On the other hand, I wouldn’t trash him now. The time will come to explain differences. Now, in short order would be a good idea IMO.
