Levin was saying last night we need to get rid of the IRS... yet just a few months ago he was ridiculing the one guy who had the courage to push this (Ron)
See how fast these guys change their spots?
Levin is big buddies with Cruz and knows him personally from years ago.
They're essentially the same: neocons who cheered Bush and used their lawyer skills to give him a pass on torture and the 4th amendment's destruction and the war in Iraq.
Ted just wasn't around then but dont think for a minute this isnt his mindset.
Rand's close friends with Beck and to some extent Ingraham. Most of these Senators have a radio talk show host buddy. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
If Levin's sounding different recently, that's a good thing.
I'm not going to play "guilty by association" - his votes have been good - a lot better than either of my Senators. Until he disappoints in that regard, I see no reason not to get behind him.
I think that comparison is wrong... Ted and Levin's association likely go back further than Rand knowing Ingraham/Beck. They're both lawyers and he keeps sayihg he knows him from years back i.e 10 years or more. He's Levin's type of Republican. He was then and is now: Neoconish, ready to use the military and support war and ready to give people like Bush a pass
Levin sounds different because there's a Democrat in the White House. He's still pro-empire, pro-war and an incoherent lunatic.
See this for what they're up to:

And dont forget they hate our guts.
Ted Cruz said he opposed the growth of government during the Bush presidency in his CPAC speech. He also voted against foreign aid. Not sure where he stood on previous wars because he doesn't talk about them. I agree that on Iran, he tends to be overly hawkish. When Cruz actually votes for war, then I'm alright with denouncing him. Until then, I'm not going to judge him on that. Domestically, he's definitely up there with Lee and Cruz.
Also, is a friend really enough to disqualify him? I'm sure there's people on here that have friends that are liberal, neoconservative, socialist, nationalist, etc. Doesn't mean they agree with them on everything.
Look at his PAC, these aren't just his friends it's who they raise money for and support in the GOP. All neocons.
Hmmm. Is Alex Jones becoming mainstream?
