Yeah. So far, Trump my make belligerent tweets at 3 AM but has otherwise been less bomb happy than past presidents so I guess I have one thing I like about him.

I, along with many of my fellow Kentuckians, immediately called Paul's D.C. office to object to his vote as soon as I learned of it. I had to leave a message, as no one was in to answer the phone, but at least, unlike that of my fellow un-representative Mitch McConnell, Paul's voice mailbox was receiving messages. No idea if he actually listens to them, of course.
You didn't listen. He didn't vote and he didn't block anything. All he did was something most politicians do not do and it was something you apparently don't like. He kept his word.

So Rand Paul is against increased spending and votes against it but because he went golfing with Trump means what now??? Quit making things up.

If only he wasn't such a lousy human being.

He's got some 23 year old caseworker listening to them, he doesn't listen to them. You'll get a nice letter from him expressing his shared concern for those in need. They have machines generate those letters.

No new expenditures with accompanying cuts, makes sense to me. I think he's on to something!

He has no problem with helping them. Don't get the vapors.

We owe those firefighters a little more than a pat on the back and a "Good Job. Now shut up and get back to work."

Life is worth more than only money. And in every life, some debts always deserve repayment in full.

No, Paul never has and you have no proof.

Then why do you vote for the ones who are doing the exact same thing that caused the 9/11 attack? Why do you vote for the war mongers and then complain when others retaliate?
