Rand Paul On 'Maddow' Defends Criticism Of Civil Rights Act, Says He Would Have Worked To

I am liking this guy more and more. Plus, I just read on FoxNews.com that there is yet another terrorist group jockeying for power in Syria. They are called the Khorasan Group and pose an ISIS-like threat. I think the USA should close down its borders and let the Middle East fight the Middle East. We don't need anything they have. ...

By KRISTIN M. HALL (AP) – 10 hours ago LEXINGTON, Ky. — A constant critic of President Barack Obama, Republican Rand Paul on Saturday defended the president's right to make decisions on the war in Afghanistan without interference from Congress. Without mentioning Obama by name, the U.S. Senate candidate said Congress shouldn't micromanage the war in Afghanistan and should leave the decisions on troop levels to the White House. Paul spoke Saturday in Lexington at a Fayette ...

is set to oppose the Republican budget resolution which adds 9 trillion dollars in debt over the next 10 years. I hope those of you who have said that Obama bankrupted this country consider this. And BTW this is before any corporate and high income tax cuts. ...

I have been hearing that Paul Ryan worships Ayn Rand saying the following: "I just want to speak to you a little bit about Ayn Rand and what she meant to me in my life and [in] the fight we're engaged here in Congress. I grew up on Ayn Rand, that's what I tell people." "I grew up reading Ayn Rand and it taught me quite a bit about who I am and what my value systems are, and what my beliefs are." I have to admit I did not know anything about Any Rand, so I ...

personal profit. Jeb says lets love the immigrants. Republicans coming to terms. ...

Please note the 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence on; but, of course, The President would only authorize lethal force within the U.S., ..... if necessary to protect the homeland....of a catastrophic attack like December 7, 1941 or September 11, 2001. http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/NEWS/A_U.S.%20news/US-news-PDFs/BrennanHolderResponse.pdf ...

Senate and President at the same time (maybe any 2 offices?) The Paul strategists may be trying to find a work around, but that is how it stands. ...

I always like to hear what constituents have to say about their senators or other public officials running for higher office. Are there any MTs from Kentucky out there who have any personal knowledge or stories they can share? Is Rand Paul well liked in your state? To me, he really seems like a moderate, not too right and not too left. He may be what I'm looking for in a presidential candidate, but I'm open to hear more or follow more links. Many thanks. If it's just snark or go ...

Rand Paul equates right to healthcare with slavery. This is an idiotic equivalence. I knew he could not be trusted. ...

The exact quote is, “Just because a couple of people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so." OMG. Is this the best the TP has to offer? Is this the same Tea Party whose platform is founded on the principle that, "The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land and must be adhered to without exception at all levels of government?" One has to wonder if he has ever read it. Then he said, "The Tea P ...

McCain quoted heavily from a Wall Street Journal editorial that slammed Paul’s filibuster on the Obama Administration’s drone use, including a line that said “If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in college dorms.” McCain called Paul’s concern that the government could kill any American with a drone “totally unfounded.” Graham also chided his fellow Re ...

Those glasses are not working for Perry. Below link led me to wonder which RP you were referring to (moved this post as someone thought the subject change was too confusing). Find it interesting the recreation of Rand Paul of late. ...

More than 125 times in our history, Presidents (including in recent times Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump) have taken military actions without the approval of Congress. Obama is an interesting case in point. He sought approval from Congress to launch attacks in Libya, failed to get it and then launched the attacks anyway, arguing that he had the Constitutional and legal authority to do so (which he did). Two years later, after the chemical attacks in Syria, Obama's ...

Who says the GOP is not dead serious about their stall tactics? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/rand-paul-at-fancy-farm-congress-needs-a-waiting-period-for-bills.php ...

Very clear, cogent argument on both fronts (mishandling classified top-secret information and peddling influence through the Clinton Foundation). By inference, Bill would be indicted on the influence peddling as a co-conspirator. These two people really are a couple of contemptible grubs. ...

They are almost never right. Sort of a funny group. They get together to bash Democrats, and then take an imaginary vote as to who would be their choice. What a waste of time, people and resources -- sort of the definition of Republican party of late. ...

Well, well, welll, I guess it's not just Dems that whine and throw fits about things being unfair, now is it? :) Because it seems Senator Paul is the one who led the charge against George Stephanopoulos moderating Republican debates , telling Hannity he's avoided his (George's) interviews for a year. So let's see, Randy boy - you run your big mouth in protest all over the country, only to press you think you can manipulate, but cower from journalists you can't ma ...

Did any of you know that famously "liberal" celebrities such as Bill Maher actually endorsed Ron Paul in 2012 rather than Barack Obama as they had previously? The Washington Post article below mentions a few who endorsed Ron Paul, but whom have either "defected" over his son, Rand Paul, or just aren't sure about him yet. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/05/20/ron-pauls-celebrity-fans-arent-flocking-to-rand-paul/ Apparently disillusioned with Obama by 2012, Bill Maher c ...

William Hilton Paul, the 22-year-old son of Republican presidential contender Rand Paul, was cited for driving under the influence of alcohol just before noon Sunday after he hit the back of a parked vehicle on Woodland Avenue. This is the third time William Paul has had a run-in with the law because of alcohol use. A spokesman for U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's presidential campaign said the senator "does not comment on any private matters in regards to his family." According to the citati ...

Food for thought: “I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people. For example, I am black. I know that. I also know that while I am black I am a human being. Therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people don’t know that. Every time I tried to go into a public place they stopped me. So some boys had to write a bill to tell that white man, “He’s a human being; don’t stop him." That bill was for the whit ...

His temporary move from Paul to McConnell was supposed to bring the two adversaries closer together, their two GOP wings closer together, and set Rand Paul up for 2016. As for holding noses, Benton has himself recently been implicated in alleged bribery of an Iowa state senator to endorse Ron Paul during the last election. From the Washington Post; recorded conversation is real, at the link below. McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton says he is running the race ‘holdin’ m ...

Like the victims' families, many of us were crying "why" when this first happened. We now know more about his motivaton for the crime. If the blog currently being investigated is authentic, Dylann Roof claims he was heavily racially AND politically influenced by Earl Holt (president of the CCC) and the Council of Conservative Citizens website (self-removed since this story broke). The alleged "Roof manifesto" is very specific about his hatred for blacks, hispanics AND Jews (did ...

Those who don't like Fox News will miss a really good report by Megan Kelley with Ashley Taylor, a member of the U.S. Commission of Civil Rights. and also a former DOJ from VA. The video is there of their chat. It is important to hear and to keep following up this story that MSM does not report. "The bipartisan panel investigating allegations that the Justice Department wrongly abandoned a case against the New Black Panther Party plans to issue a new round of subpoenas and call for a separ ...

This is proof that both sides can work together. The bad news is that B.O. is going to need those big boy pants PDQ. ...

And the Tea Party wonders why public perception is that they are hostile, paranoid and have no loyalty to anyone but themselves. Apparently, not even to themselves, the ad took a shot at Ted Cruz as being a Patriot Act spy supporter , too? lol On second thought, now there's a wrestling match I'd like to see - Cruz vs. Paul. However, methinks it would end as it would with most big-mouthed brawlers - both would end up crying and running to their daddies;) http://www.washin ...
