Well played.

That's going to hurt his nomination chances.

Such a shame.

Nobody will care. Have you ever heard of an election turning on a confirmation vote?

Can you think of the last time a President's cabinet appointment mattered in a presidential primary, the other party's primary no less? Romney didn't even make issue of Holder.

I guess this vote would help Rand in a general election, but will definitely hurt him in the GOP primary. I guess he just decided to do the principled thing even though it will kill his chances to win the GOP nomination in 2016.

Senator Paul had said he believes in giving the president a fair amount of leeway in choosing his cabinet, and this vote is certainly consistent with that.

This shithead is as good as any shithead you'd choose.

The conservatives will make this vote will known and refer back to it often.

I'm not sure voting YEA to confirm someone who obviously believes he can use drones on the American public is very principled.

I thought it was Brennan who believed that?

Rand is already getting called a "Jew Hater" on the free republic.

Getting through the GOP will be the tricky part. Rand put his head on the chopping block by being one of the very few Republicans to vote yes.

Doubtful. This is nothing like trying to grab a water bottle.

The winning 2016 GOP candidate would be some combination of Rand Paul on domestic policy, Reagan on defense, John Bolton on foreign policy.

Josh Bernstein ‏@jbc230mb
Rand Paul just voted to send a jew hating liberal Republican to become Defense Secretary. I guess we will need to find another person 4 2016

Doing a Rand Paul search on twitter reveals the most hilarious comments ever.


I didn't know voting against Medicare Part D and NCLB were liberal positions...

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

He voted Kerry for SoS. He's basically said he'll vote to confirm whoever the Prez nominates.

 

[TokenLibertarianGuy]

Not good.

 

[Brett85]

Not good.

Aren't you the guy who was openly anti Israel in the Israel thread that's in Hot Topics?

 

[Cowlesy]

And 90% of those folks we probably wouldn't even classify as "conservative."

Let them squeal and cry all they want.

What does that have to do with anything? Hagel isn't anti-Israel.

there were 42 of us last I counted...

I said:

Israel is a greater threat to world peace than North Korea, Syria, and Iran combined.
