Where is the Real Rand Paul?
Rick Santorum has a great little ditty in Politico regarding Rand Paul --
"Will the Real Rand Paul Please Stand Up?"
As you may know, Rand is considered by some (not me) to be a rather serious Republican candidate for U.S. President in 2016.
Rick takes issue..... big issue..... with Rand's shifting position on foreign policy:
The Kentucky senator (Rand) has advanced a brand of neo-isolationism and appeasement that is as short-sighted as it mistaken. Despite his recent, and frantic efforts to recast himself as not completely ridiculous on national security issues, the truth is his record often puts him in league with Barack Obama—or even to the president’s left. Anyone who truly cares about American liberty at home must not ignore real enemies and rising threats abroad. Rather, we must confront such challenges wisely and decisively to protect American lives, our economy and our allies.
Some of Rand's words from the Time article that spurred Rick's Politico piece:
Some pundits are surprised that I support destroying the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) militarily. They shouldn’t be. I’ve said since I began public life that I am not an isolationist, nor am I an interventionist. I look at the world, and consider war, realistically and constitutionally.
This administration’s dereliction of duty has both sins of action and inaction, which is what happens when you are flailing around wildly, without careful strategic thinking.

Rand as President scares me.
He's quite a wishy-washy guy.... testing the waters on various issues to see what kind of reactions he gets.
And he has difficulty controlling his mouth.
Plus, his dad is wack.... WACKO, that is.
Not sure whether "WACKO" can be inherited or not???
Nope, Rand is not what America needs.
Out for now......
