Rand Paul flip-flops to defend Obama’s drone strikes: ‘There is a valuable use for drones’

"Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R), who memorably filibustered in the Senate for 13 hours (http://www.rawstory.com/2013/03/top-5-moments-of-rand-pauls-filibuster/) to rail against the use of drones on U.S. citizens, defended a January drone strike that accidentally took the lives of two hostages, one of them American."


===================================
Thanks to RawStory for this report. It's getting to the point where we're going to have to get ol' Paul some flip-flop sandals that he can wear to the Senate floor each day and on the campaign trail. An extra pair would also be great as he would soon wear out the ones he's wearing.

Oh my.. if the Paul kid keeps it up, he's going to steal the Flip-Flop King title from Mittens!

No easy task! :D

So do you now realize Obama's drone strikes are wrong?

/Edit: Progressives becoming educated through their own partisanship. Whatever works I guess.

Rah, rah, Rand!
Ain't he grand?

Handy Randy
Fine and dandy

Hooray for Paul!
That says it all.


My insightful, incisive, and issues-based campaign poetry can get the Cantankerous Kentuckian what his Daddy could never get.

No, they don't see that. They're not interested in the issues, just trashing opponents so their guy wins. That is basically what American politics has become. See Is Democracy Unraveling? (http://thepoliticalforums.com/threads/43615-Is-Democracy-Unraveling)


Note: Many of us non-interventionists pointed out Rand's flip flop in foreign policy months ago.

They all have to decide if they want to be elected or not................Rand's dad never really wanted to be elected, rand has decided he wants to be which forces you to take a realistic look at things.

As a libertarian, Rand is a fraud, he does nothing for me.

The thing everyone misses: to be a republican today is an impossible task for anyone other than an every day flip flopper. How can anyone please a base that goes from libertarian to religious fundie. From wealthy elitists to trailer park folk, from gun huggers to religious endtimers, from racists to Jesus lovers, from militias back to libertarians. Ain't possible, thus the comedy that the party has become. Oh and add immigration too. No wonder Reince wants few debates. LOL

As a libertarian you should take a harder look at him because he is about as close as you are gonna get to what you want that can be elected. Or you can protest vote and that will be that, another 4 years of bad economy.......Altho Hillary would be an improvement on the economy I think.

And some of us remember how the right endorsed some of the most extreme measures to combat terrorism, including torture.

Thanks for the list of all the American citizens that you think should be thrown out of the political process.

Do you a a train to a concentration camp waiting for us too?

So is Rand Paul a Libertarian or a libertarian? Will he be running on the Libertarian ticket or will he be hiding behind the coattails of the Republicans?

As far as this is concerned, I'm sure he'll change his mind next week.

Like Ive been saying all along, Rand Paul says whatever his audience wants to hear. Hes a shameless flipflopper and hes a phony.

Obama thought that gay marriage was an abomination until the gay donations dried up.

They have! After making Hillary see what it means for America and Americans to accept the LGBT community that has been so discriminated against she is now convinced that is the way to go! :)
