Losing respect for Rand Paul

Losing respect for Rand Paul




I think Rand Paul's responses to Colbert's questions are very dodgy. I can imagine he's in a difficult position as a Republican right now, and I think he's hedging by standing for nothing (like his response to Colbert's first question).

Then, at 3:03, he defends against Mueller's investigation by basically saying that if you dig around enough, of course you are going to dig up some dirt. I couldn't agree more with Colbert's reply: if you dug around all my phone calls, emails, and conversations, and then ask me about it in interview, I wouldn't lie. I've never said anything I wouldn't either stand by or be able to explain why I held that view at the time. So why would I expect less from my politicians? And if I were a politician, I would expect that my constituents would want my private conversations to be consistent with my public ones!

There should be no sympathy for lying politicians from voters. In fact, I think it's actually the role of law enforcement to dig around for stuff like this - it's a rare act against corruption.

So yeah, I'm going to have to find a new favorite Republican now. Not easy.

Actually, it might be McCain, for this:

My favorite Republican is always the one about to get permanently fired or impeached.

Only 30 seconds before he gets permanently impeached, because he's 30 seconds from getting permanetly impeached Tongue

I'll take a libertarian over a Missouri good ol' boy classic conservative any day. And vs Trumptards, there is no contest. Forget about Rand. People forget his dad was often more vocal against the Republicans than the Democrats (at least on certain issues).

Rather than having our classic Democrats and Republicans (who really both serve Wall Street), I think our congress would be better divided Libertarians vs Socialists. If these latter two parties could meet each other half way, we'd have a better functioning congress.

The problem is that both Rand and his dad are as conservative (I mean, Republican) as fuck. They only stand out from the other Republicans on foreign policy matters, AFAIK. And I'm pretty sure there are ways to be Libertarian without having to think and behave no differently from a Republican. Tiberius himself adheres to a sexy form of libertarianism.
