Think about it though. If Obama wants to give all this aid to Africa, to invade Rawanda, Pakistan, etc...the Republican leadership is already in a position to oppose this interventionism. Paul will be a most excellent spokesperson.
In terms of domestic policy, Paul can hit Obama if he abuses surveillance, executive power, etc that certainly scares Republicans now that its in the hands of a socialist.
In terms of economy, Paul will be an awesome voice for the majority of House Republicans that opposed the bail-outs, believe in de-regulation, reduce corporate welfare, and cut taxes.
In terms of social issues, OBGYN Paul will be an amazing counterforce against an abortion-endorsing Obama administration.
There's a lot of political opportunity for both the GOP leadership to give him a bone and for us to take it.
Let's do this!
