"senators who voted for an unlimited increase in the debt ceiling are not and have no right to call themselves conservatives. So America wake up and watch the votes today."
You know Rand, I hope you have the guts enough to say this to Moscow Mitch's face but I'm not going to hold my breath to...
"You are the slug."
Nope, still flying. Looking down at you right now.
I get that some people are still invested in Rand's career but you're wasting your time in my opinion. For the Republican Party, the "Conservative Movement", even some quarters of libertarians, it's Trump's World and he's...
"Rand does this for every bill. He tries to fund every bill with existing funds before tapping into new funding."
Sure, by cutting funding that doesn't harm the special interests in his home state. I don't know about you but being "fiscally responsible" has better optics when you're NOT trying...
"We have a nearly trillion dollar deficit and $22 trillion in debt. Spending is out of control."
Indeed and your boss in the Senate GOP caucus and the President just signed off on on a budget which is going to increase that debt. What are you going to do about it Rand?

"so why the hell are they so much more deserving of federal funding at taxpayer expense than the far greater number of other victims of other tragedies in other places?"
Since you feel this way I'm sure you will feel the same way when those coal miners in Kentucky whose checks are bouncing...
"It is not the government's place to take money from some to give to another, no matter the cause."
Goody! Let's privatize the TVA because I shouldn't have to pay to subsidize the cheap power given to people in Kentucky.
But that's not an argument you're going to hear Rand Paul make, ever...
"I will take, "All of the above."
Wonderful! Too bad Rand won't.
What's blasphemy to me is "What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable" hypocritical attitude of Republicans when it comes to spending. and unfortunately Rand has absorbed it. One cannot take seriously has call for a...
" simply asking for a vote on an amendment to offset the cost."
If we closed Ft. Campbell, would that offset the cost Senator? Cut tobacco subsides?, coal subsidies? Privatize the TVA? Sheesh! I can think a lot of things which benefit the state of Kentucky from the federal government which...
