Until recently, MFP has engaged in all manner of rhetorical jiu-jitsu and intellectual dishonesty to justify Rand Paul’s incessant flip-flops and crimes against liberty…
- First, Rand Paul compared opponents of amnesty to Nazis
- Then he became BFFs with Kirsten Gillibrand
- Then he became BFFs with Harry Reid
- Then he became BFFs with Chuck Schumer
- Then he became BFFs with the Chamber of Lobbyists
- Then he became BFFs with Mitch McConnell
- Then he stabbed Ted Cruz in the back
- Then he quoted Malcom X
- Then he ditched Steve King
- Then he flip-flopped on foreign aid
- Then he flip-flopped on Ukraine
- Then he flip-flopped on the Civil Rights Act
- Then he promised to help Mitch McConnell pass amnesty
- Then he became BFFs with Google’s Eric Schmidt
- Then he became BFFs with Al Sharpton
- Then he started parroting John Edwards “Two Americas” schtick
- Then he flip-flopped on drones
- Then he blocked an investigation into fraudulent Obamacare subsidies for his staff
Over the course of the past 3 years, what was once unbridled enthusiasm slowly morphed into “he’s better than Jeb Bush, kind of, I guess”.
But following this tweet, MFP can no longer, in good conscience, support Paul…I don't always see eye to eye with @SenJohnMcCain. But I honor his service and the sacrifices he made for our country.— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) July 18, 2015
Who would be worse in office, Donald Trump or Rand Paul?
ReplyDeleteAnyone willing to take a stab?
After his team gets out of the current focus group round, Rand will come out with a powerful/impactful/meaningful statement along the lines of
ReplyDelete"I've been misunderstood, you all need to understand what I mean, not what I say. You libertarianish-folks should know that I mean what you want to hear, while you neoconmen must understand that I have to drag around these bumpkins so that we will win - heck, when it comes down to it, they have no choice but to vote for me as the lesser evil. Everybody happy, now?
Now, let's go get me elected!"
If there is one thing that conservatives are good at its being consistently hypocritical. Real liberty lovers know that Rand is a fraud
