Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., slammed his colleagues in the Senate, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., for "parading" as conservatives while opposing legislation that is not "conservative."
"People like McCain and Graham, who parade as conservatives but are not really conservative, they need to be called out because they are bankrupting our country," Paul said Tuesday.
Paul added that Graham was part of the "problem" in Washington, D.C., and has contributed to the national debt because of his willingness to increase military spending.
"Lindsey Graham wouldn't know a conservative if he met one," Paul, who is libertarian, said before wading into the debate on the rising national debt. "He's never been a conservative. He's probably a big part of why we have such a massive debt in this country."
"Why is the deficit bigger all the time, under Republicans or Democrats?" Paul said. "Because neither one of them are conservative. And I frankly am infuriated by the idea that these people will continue to throw wool over the eyes of the American voter and simply say 'Oh we're conservative' and yet they pass stuff that is just frankly, not conservative."
Paul said he would back a large tax cut, but he would not do so if that meant budget caps were not in place.
Although Paul previously was planning on opposing it, he said Trump convinced him to change his mind and he voted to start debate on the fiscal 2018 budget resolution Tuesday. Paul played golf with the president over the weekend.
"The motion to proceed was not as big a deal, but I think you can say the president was influential in getting me to vote for the motion to proceed," Paul said.
All 3 of those peacocks are worthless.
“Why is the deficit bigger all the time, under Republicans or Democrats?” Paul said. “Because neither one of them are conservative.”
Very true.
I would not be unhappy if he formed a coalition with Senator Sanders and provided President Trump with an anti-globalist, anti-war vision.

Only problem is there are other Communists still in the structured Communist movement that he will never be missed but only praised.
Did he call them “My good friends?”
McCain is carrying a grudge against Trump. He needs to die of cancer already. Die, Die Die My Darling.
Lindsey also parades as a heterosexual, which we all know is fake.
That SOB never talked to a reporter from the MSM liked he blasted Peter Doocy yesterday.
That is the real John McCain.
And he is no hero.
F him.
Can’t wait until the guy checks-out...probably won’t be long — and nobody in either party is going to miss him.
Sounds to me that Rand just opened his FreeRepublic user account.
I don’t think Paul messed up in the primaries. I think that he realized Trump was the 800 pound gorilla and decided not to antagonize him like all the rest of the candidates were doing. He burned no bridges and, in turn, did not and will not get burned by Trump.

I would never say that about McCain, but since YOU did, let me repeat it....
“McCain is carrying a grudge against Trump. He needs to die of cancer already. Die, Die Die My Darling.”
Die, die, die my darling
Don’t utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty eyes
I’ll be seeing you again
I’ll be seeing you in Hell
So, don’t cry to me, oh baby
Your future’s in an oblong box
Don’t cry to me, oh baby
Should have seen it a-coming on
Don’t cry to me, oh baby
I don’t know it was in your cards
Don’t cry to me, oh baby
Dead end zone for a dead end girl
Don’t cry to me, oh baby
Now your life drains on that floor
Don’t cry to me, oh baby
Die, die, die my darling
Don’t utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I’ll be seeing you again
I’ll be seeing you in Hell
Die, die, die
